Supporting Each Other-Monday

Davit,
 
I agree that everyones stories are important and that by telling our stories we are helping ourselves and others. I think that maybe having a panic disorder makes it hard for people to tell their stories, maybe they are afraid to talk about it and just talking about it causes some people to get severe anxiety.  I do feel that in order to have a good support group and to get well that people need to share their stories, their successes and failures the good and bad.  I feel that we can all learn from each others experiences but in order to do that everyone has to be willing to give of them self as well as take from the group to make it work.    Its all about give and take.

PS   And No!! I do not think you are to outspoken or scaring people off.  You are asset to the group. Their wouldn't even be a group without you.  You have a lot of real life experience with panic and a lot to add to the group. You are a very caring and compassionate human being.   So thats enough of that kind of thinking Davit.  So there enough said about that.

Ashley, Red.

Maybe we could start by asking what the fear is. Do they feel they are getting enough from just reading? Is it possible? But it is documented here that writing works. We see it over and over. So many new member and where are they? I'd like to meet them I'd like to hear their storey. Even if they think it isn't much. IT IS. Every ones storey is important. Even if they are managing by doing the program on their own, it would still be nice to know. So many ways panic hits and so many different ways people deal with it. I'd like to hear their ideas. Their solutions. Look how many solutions have popped up in the last weeks in what amounts to group discussions. 

Davit.

PS Maybe I'm too outspoken and scaring people off.

It would be better if more members were regular posters.
 
How do you think we can increase participation and retention of members? 
 
It would be great if we can recruit more member; until then we still have each other!

Davit,
 
You are right this thread is hard to pull off with just 2 or 3 people posting to it, not to mention a support group with just 2 or 3 people in it.    Hopefully some more people will joint our support here on line.  I guess we will  just have to wait and see what happens.
