amy84 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hey all, I'm wide awake, gotta go into work at 6am but fuck it... Anyway, I've had an idea. I've been looking for group therapy stuff round where I live and have drawn a blank. So, I was wondering if maybe other people were interested, we could set some up? My idea is, anyone who's interested post on here their rough location etc and we'll set up mini groups and meet up once a month or so? If no one's interested then never mind! So, I'll start off, my location midweek is South Cumbria, and at weekends near Blackburn... Amy xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barebones Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 ok i will bump this up amy some people take time to reply, so i guess just wait and see, if anyone is in same area. Me i have met a couple of people from here from where i live, they have gone further, which they are in pychotherapy FT, so i am pleased they are going there, me i guess i have to look around or something.

amy84 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 this has been viewed 42 times... so if we exclude the times me, you and piuma have looked and expressed an interest (5) that's 3 people out of 39 who are interested, or 7%... therefore, with the total number of members on this site at 14,357, 7% equals 1,004 people who may eventually view this post and express an interest!

profound1 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I am in Lancs too but have trouble with agoraphobia and the thought of a meet would turn me into a jelly. Nice idea though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 There are potential dangers to meeting people from the internet. People are not always as they seem. Its best to meet in a public place, not someones house. And make sure you don't go off on your own with someone unless you are really sure. And tell people where you are going.

roxy222 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 just posting to say iv read this, so im not just a 'view' i live in scotland and anyways wouldnt be personally interested, t triggers me big time so if im ever going to consider it'll be one on one, but i think you have an interesting idea. meme also has a good point, maybe you could try and find someone who would supervise in someway, like an external mod? maybe a volanteer at a mh charity, that would keep things safer, and not make it all part of this board anyways, just wanted to post to say i have read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy84 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hey there... all good suggestions, obviously I wasn't planning on suggesting everyone turns up at my house! I was thinking somewhere public like.. well I'd like to say a pub but maybe that isn't such a good idea... maybe just like a cafe or something... It's only early days yet, I don't think we need to rush into it, it's just nice to know there are people who might find it helpful... especially when (for me anyway) you spend all your time round happy, cheery people who have absolutely no idea what's wrong with you! Thanks for the posts guys xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
