| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

But maybe the week after that. At least, my uncle is keen on trying it. I don't know about me, I'm still feeling kind of nervous about it. I used to chat a fair bit, but I always ended up feeling lousy afterwards for some reason, and I'm worried that's going to happen again. |

| | Hi Lisa, yes... the message on the homepage gives the details... standing date and time each week, simply convert to your actual day and time depending where you are in the world. It converts for me in Melbourne, Australia to Sunday morning 6am, where most of the US should be late Saturday afternoon.... etc etc... UK and Canada should have reasonable timings to match if I remember correctly. It took me a while to get the time right to suit most major countries and to fall over the weekend so people had the chance to chat if they work during the weeks. |

| | Pandora, look at the message at the top of the homepage, use the world time server to find your equivalent day and time for what I listed, and that is the day and time for you to be in the chatroom. Here is a link for a simple conversion for this weekends chat, http://www.worldtimeserver.com/time_...r.aspx?f=US-OH where the ohio time is already listed, you just select your location and it will convert it for you. Ontario is in the same time zone, so it would be Saturday 4pm, unless your in Western Ontario, which would be one hour earlier, so Saturday 3pm for you. Whilst it is Saturday for you and the US, it is Sunday 6am for me... and this is how we all get to meet at once in a chat each week. |

| | I will try to be in chat next Saturday. I think it is a great idea to have a scheduled time. I was side tracked this week because my 24 year old son came home to live with us again. I have really missed him. I'm glad he's decided to move home again. But I'll be there next week.
