Hello!

I'm new here, even though I signed up about a yr and a half ago. I think I was here a day and drifted some other place. Who knows where? I don't! It is a pretty good sized website/forums. I am diagnosed with severe social and generalized anxiety disorder along with co-morbid depression. I am not depressed all of the time but I do get hit with moderate and sometimes severe depression. I also am BP3 which is really is just a diagnosis that was created when someone takes an SSRI and goes hypomanic. In my case a mood stabilizer, Lamictal, solved the problem. I have had SA since grade school and depressive states gradually developed. The generalized anxiety didn't really hit me hard until after the other two but it is severe. I used to be a really laid back guy and not a worrier". I was laid off from work a few yrs ago and slowly started having agoraphobic traits. Which, so far i have fended off.

That's my pretty mundane story. I do have a question for any of the mods. I have searched for an open chat room or one that has more natural and faster discussion than the forums. I used search/advanced search found some highlighted as chat or ideally live chat. I could not find one. I am probably overlooking an area. So is there chat groups and live chat groups on PsychForums?
I like the website for the half hr I have been here.
If a mod has the time to PM or message me about the chat thing
Greatly appreciated
Chris

Hi Chris!

Welcome back

Actually there is not a chat feature here on Psychforums, so you didn't overlook anything.

Feel free to PM me or post if you have any other questions.

Take care!

I agree with Chris, we need a chatroom for this forum. Who is in charge of the website? Can't they create a chatroom, please?

Sometimes I'm just lonely and want to chat but my blog comments never show, and people don't come online for days or weeks at a time so I am still lonely...

Can we look into this please?
