Not sure any of you know what the general chat section is used for. There is a description for each forum section and this one is for off-topic chat you can talk about nearly everything. OFF-TOPIC being the key words here. Nearly every post I see in this section belong in any of a number of other sections.

The few forums I frequent always have an off-topic section for people to hangout in. Some people post forum games or posts about posting pictures of pets or talking about different hobbies. There is none of that in the off-topic section in this forum.

Can we turn this section into what it's supposed to be? The area where we all can get away from the main topic of these forums and maybe have a little fun?

Okay, so lets hang out. I'm Jane and apart from my illness, I enjoy writing, pets, reading and watching box sets. I live in a small village in the UK after living in Egypt for 9 years.

So tell us about yourself? What do you like to do for hobbies? I used to go and watch banger racing which was great fun but now I don't have the friends who like going. I also like watching live bands but again, not the friends to go with! ffs I don't care!

What country do you live in? Do you work?

Your post does hold clarity. Maybe chatting about other things will help us to get our minds off of things but if you look much further back in the posts you will see that we do sometimes talk about other things. It just depends on the mood I suppose.

And here is a riddle:

I can travel from there to here by disappearing, and here to there by reappearing.

What am I?

I totally agree! i also feel like this place is for supporting each other and knowing that you aren't just your anxiety !

What am I?

Me? I'm not good with talking about myself. Especially since there is not much to talk about. I don't have any hobbies, I just go to work and come home. I live in the US. I am no good at riddles, I'm not smart, what's the answer?

Many of us on here find it difficult to socialise because of our anxieties. Maybe that is why we tend to talk on the other threads. There are some non-related subjects posted in some other threads too.

So, what do you do when you get home?

The answer to the riddle is the letter T.

I come home and eat if I got food that day. I may watch something on a streaming service and try to sleep for the next day.

Are you despondent about how your life is? Do you feel that your life is just for work and sleep?

What kind of things do you watch? What are you watching at the moment? I've been watching the Game ofThrones series for the last week or so. I love it, I've watched it a few times now but I don't have the last season's box set. Something I have to get.

I like to watch historical movies. I think the next thing I'm going to watch is 'Spartacus' with John Hannah and Lucy Lawless. It has a really great storyline. My brother gave it to me and left it with me so I've watched it a few times as well. What I don't have in my DVD library yet is 'The White Princess' by Phillipa Gregory. It wasn't released in the UK but it may be now or at least soon. I've not checked lately.

Do you have any pets?

I had to look up despondent, for me it's just about going to work and sleep (when I can get it). I watch sci-fi, comedy, some super natural stuff. If I can find something that peaks my interest. Not really watching much of anything right now, I kinda ran out of things to watch and re-watch. I have to wait and see if Netflix or Amazon release anything new soon. I also watch streamers on Twitch, which is a live youtube like service. It started off as justin.tv and was bought out and the name changed. You go on and watch people do all sorts of things, for me it's video games but they have a bit of everything from art to people just hanging out at home. It helps pass the time away.

No pets, can't have them in the apartment besides I can't afford to take care of myself let alone another creature.

It's a shame you can't have pets as pets would give you something else to think about. I am on a very low income and I have two dogs. They don't cost that much really. I'd never heard of Twitch before, it sounds quite interesting. I watch things on YouTube as well.

I've painted before oils on canvas to pass the time. I don't have an easel at the moment though and they can be a bit expensive.

A pet would be too much money for me. Because I would like to know if an emergency occurs I would have the money to take care of it. Emergency vet visits are not cheap. Twitch is cool, it does have it's ups and downs but you should find content and creators you like. Most have a set schedule to when they stream.

I'm no kind of artist.

What else do you do, work, for fun?

You are being sensible to not have pets if you can't afford the vets. I was thinking maybe a bird or a hamster which do not cost so much.

We are all artists, there is no thing that we cannot do or create. Two year olds are artists! At least you have Twitch to watch and take your interest.

Well, I'm an agoraphobic so going out is not so easy for me. I do get out sometimes and either take the dogs out or meet with a friend for a drink and a meal. You already know I like to watch box sets but I also love reading.

I write short stories and am working on a novel so I'm hoping to sell them on Amazon at some point. I love to write and communicate and writing on forums is easier for me than making face to face chit chat with people. I'm a nervous talker and end up saying the wrong things.

So I play with my dogs a lot, lose myself in a story, either reading it or writing it. I like to cook and eat! surf the net as well. I like history and sometimes watch documentaries on YouTube. I like Theology too.

This forum is my favourite one because I am chatting with fellow sufferers. I've managed to gain a lot of strength by reading posts and interacting. I've made some genuine friends on here too. It's been far better than Facebook! lol

Do you go on Facebook? what is it that you do for work?

 

[noideaforaname]

I am on facebook, I was away from it for a long time. I really don't like it, I forget why I went back on. I don't have the energy to do much more than go to work and come home. Even work has gotten harder to get to and stay at, not that it was ever easy to get there to begin with. And no not everyone is an artist, just like not everyone is smart or funny.

Sorry about that. I haven't exactly been diagnosed wth anxiety, so I didn't exactly know where to post things.

I'm not really lambasting people. It's more about people being aware of the different sections in the forums. Those that are new to forums may not understand what is going on. And as I stated it's just nice to have a section like this in the forums so we can unwind so to speak.

Actually I was thinking that I need to move the current conversation I have been having to another section so that way I am practicing what I preach. I am going to post an ask me anything kind of post in another section and see what happens.
