Howdy,Pammi.......My opinion is to stay away from chat,just hang in with us in The forum.I have met some wonderfull,caring and sincere people who have taken the time to Pm me and help me when I am feeling down.Thankyou to them.

I did try chat once or twice but I found by the time I'd thought of what I thought might help, the original question had disappeared off the page amongst all the others so I just couldn't keep up but I wish I could do more to help people when they need it most. Besides that, I can only type with one finger! After that I felt I'd be of more use on the forum or in pm.

Hi Stand,

I don't think I was in Chat on the evening in question, but please just remember that anxiety mostly affects us all, and all of the time too and for some that affects our confidence in giving others advice. We are also not all experienced in the many triggers such as alcohol, drugs, abuse, etc.

I for one have GAD and panic disorder, and that is bad enough. On joining NMP I have learned that just about everyone is more worse off, and really only just coping. How they do it - and so admirably - is beyond me.

The NMP chat room is a release for every one of us to vent, air our feelings, chat normally, make friends or, in your case, seek help. We're all sorry that you didn't get the help you needed at such a critical time, but we are only human and aiming anything but constructive criticism at us is likely to make us feel worse.

I hope you were alright after the incident, and that you do come back into Chat. I would like to see you there. If you see me, drop me a PM straight away and I will gladly talk to you, whether you're anxious, PA'ing or not.

All the best for now, and we hope to hear from you again soon.

Regards and best wishes,

Neo

Heya,

I find that I cannot keep up witht he chat room. Especially if I'm trying to do something else at the same time. If you look away for 5 seconds you may have missed something important someone has written, it moves so quickly! I've only been in there once or twice, but I feel much more comfortable posting int he forum. I find that I usually get more detailed and helpful responses from the forum too as opposed to being in the chat room. I think the chat room is better used for catching up and general conversation, it's difficult to talk about problems in such a fast-paced and busy environment.
