Interestingly I was just thinking of asking the same question as I want to create a group online where a number of people can join. Want to exchange ideas on this? 😊

I am all for an open Zoom forum. There are so many support groups such as AA that have Zoom meetings. I am still navigating the website. I am hoping you may know more about how to start a group. Should we start by asking if others would be interested ?

Yes. That’s a fantastic idea! Let do that 😊. I think so many could benefit from them. I am actually participating in on depression group next week via Zoom and I had to register for that. It’s all online. Looking forward to it. I can send you the link to the website if you are interested too.

That sounds great! I would love the link to the Zoom meeting you are attending.

You can count me in for a Zoom meeting in this forum as well. Let me know how you see the meeting coming together and I will be there help all I can to facilitate it.

I'm interested in meetings too.

That’s great. I am just wondering how we go about it? Any ideas? We need to find a day where we can all meet on Zoom. How is everyone’s availability and where is everyone based? I am based in Germany. 😊

Healthyscorp in reply to 4 years ago

Hmm good question as to how to get this going. I'm in the United States PDT (California)

Healthyscorp in reply to 4 years ago

If it works out I can do any Saturday or Sunday at 9:00am my time (PDT) because it will be 6:00pm in Germany? I work Monday - Friday and won't be able to participate. I also understand with everyone in various time zones it might be difficult. We will figure it out : )

Thanks for sharing your availability. I just created the private Facebook group as well. So we have two ways of setting up these zoom calls (will also post the dates here once we find some that are working). 😊

Healthyscorp in reply to 4 years ago

Bless your heart thank you for creating that page. So how do I get to it? LoL I'm not tech savvy, do I just look for a certain group and join?

Have you started up this meeting yet? I am having a tough day and could use it.

in reply to 4 years ago

Hi Steve, so sorry to heat you are having a tough day. Is there anything you can think of that lights you up instantly or could uplift your spirit? Have you tried meditation or tapping? I use the tapping app when my anxiety is really bad for example. Can you do something good for yourself?

I have just created the Facebook group so people can join. We can then find one or two dates so everyone had a chance to join. Would you like to join the group? If not I will post the dates once we have sorted this out. 😊

How is everyone’s availability? Who is on Facebook? Shall I create a private group and invite everyone so we can all have a safe space to support each other? What do you guys think? 😊

BaltimoreTeacher in reply to 4 years ago

Please. Any privacy issues with sharing emails? Instead of facebook? We could send emails addesss to you. We msg u privately

Changesinlife in reply to 4 years ago

I really think the Facebook group is a great idea. I look forward to the meeting.

FifLove in reply to 4 years ago

Interested too😊

Good idea! That’s what I thought. Since we can’t create any groups here. 😊Of course only if people are comfortable with it of course. No pressure. 😊

You guys can email me with your availability. I can then set up one or two online meetings and can send you the links to it. We‘ll see how it goes and have the option to virtually meet regularly if you guys are up for it.

Hi there, here is the link to the private Facebook group so we can set up a date for our Zoom chat. For everyone who doesn’t want to be on the group but still want to be part of your Zoom chat, please feel free to DM with you email. Many thanks, Christina 😊
