• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

So the Lord has put it on my heart to start a support group for believers suffering from anxiety. With today's technology, we are able to setup video chat rooms where people can come and share their experiences along with asking questions they may have.

One way for us to move forward in our walk as brothers and sister's in Christ is to fellowship, which is not necessarily done just at church or home but can be done through these types of outlets (forums, chat rooms, etc etc.) I encourage anyone on here who is interested in joining me to pray about it, then reply to this thread.

The reason for the video chat support group, is that people connect more with others who've gone through similar situations because they are not only able to show them sympathy but they are more empathetic as well.

My hope for this, is that we as believers can learn to encourage each other and hold each other accountable as God has called us to do so:

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 13:34

...and ultimately grow closer to God has he works in us. I am looking forward to where God takes this and ask that you please keep me in prayer, that God takes the lead!

Take care and God bless.

Amen! Thanks for responding Far Side! Do me a favor tho and keep this in prayer. I would like to get at least 3 of us before we start but if God has other plans then so be it.

I know this is an older post, but did you ever decide to start a chat group? I am very interested in finding other online groups (chat, forum, fb groups, blogs, anything like that) of anxiety sufferers who are Christians, and even more specifically for myself I need to connect with other people who have social anxiety. I want to talk to others about it, but the very nature of it causes us to withhold and not share our struggles, so it's challenging to find others with S.A who are open and ready to talk. I think that together we could find a lot of healing in God.

(P.S. I did start a facebook group specifically for Christian ladies who struggle with anxiety, depression, feeling rejected, feeling alone, needing friendship, etc, and it is a really small group at the moment, but I hope it can grow. God has been putting the desire in my heart to facilitate this type of online group (focusing on the love of God) specifically for women (not purposely trying to leave anyone out; this is just my specific calling). I'm hoping to find other ladies like me who feel so alone and desperately need fellowship, connection, and encouragement. I am hoping to eventually start a blog as well.)

Let me know if you started this chat group or know of any other groups like it.
