i think this was asked before, but nothing came of it

if i were to start a group chat once a week for people with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders to come together and chat, would anyone show up?
we used to have a schizophrenia chat but hardly anyone showed up, and before then when we had a schizophrenia chat it got so crowded that it was hard to manage

[Sometimes psychotic]

I'm horrible at chat---it's too fast for me but I think its a great idea to restart for others

[Gr3tta_0]

I would like this, and i think others would. I would at least try it if at a good time.

I hosted the chat for a short time. You know I'm in.

Ok, I will try to chat some if it comes up...

[Lostraven13]

i miss the chat and would go

[ofthevalley]

I can't get to chat on my phone but I think it's a great idea.

I would like to join in and chat but my working hours made me always miss it.

i was thinking of having it around 6:30pm on a Wednesday or tuesday

i forget that UK time is six hours ahead of me
if i could schedule a morning chat that might work better for my UK friends

I'm sure we can figure out a time that works for everyone. Maybe weekends would be better.

i am usually not home on weekends for right now as my house is on the market to be sold, so we have most of our showings on the weekend

i think i have the chat set for tuesdays 6:30-7:30 central time

i have never led a chat before so i hope it all turns out okay

i dont really know what topics to discuss if we do have topics, i really just wanted a place where people with schizophrenia and psychosis could come and chat and not be judged or told to shut up by people who clearly dont understand psychosis

What day does it start please?
I suppose i should look at the calendar...

I am still deciding on a starting day,
I think I might actually host it on a Saturday when more people are available

I would come to this, I have fairly regularly gone to the Depression/Anxiety chat for over a year now.

the group chat is happening next Saturday at 6:30pm-7:30pm eastern time

Sounds good

[Rzqrtzhrt]

I would come to this for sure! I can help host as well if needed, I don't have work to obligate my time. If any help is needed please message me, I plan to be much more active in here anyway

that would be great, Rzqrtzhrt
i could use a backup host in case of times where i wont be able to host myself

i can talk to john25 about it, if you want

i have never hosted a chat before, i expect that it would be easier with a co-host
