Upcoming events: We want YOUR feedback

Hi Nik,

Kristin & myself are keeping an eye on you..............

Regards, Jake

p.s. you'll have to make the 'test' a little bit harder than that Nik.......

umm, Jake, is that an eye between us, an eye each, a cyclops, or what... 🙂

Ah......

I think it was meant to be allegorical......like.......'I'll keep an eye out for you'.......ouch! (Lol!)

Regards, Jake

Oh so you can just pop one out? I did once know a guy with a glass eye... that really would be a silent witness. (Used to be a fave until it got too graphic and too many repeated flashback-type scenes, now I avoid tv full stop.)

I think I'd better stop this being literal - it might get yucky! 🙂 K

So other than Jake's eye popping out & NikNik not getting the date right, what would other members like to see feature as Topic Tuesday. Just to recap CherryBombs post;

- You will notice a poll appear with selections for different guest speakers. Please vote for one so we can organise guest speakers for you. If you have an idea for one that is not on the list, please let us know so we can include it in future polls by adding your idea to this thread.

- For a group discussion about topical issues (that is without a guest speaker), please also include your ideas below in this discussion thread. Some of you may be thinking what's the difference between this and a normal everyday threads? The main difference is that this is an opportunity to organise a time where we arrange a time to meet online at the same time to discuss an issue.

*slowly trying to drag this discussion back on topic*

Aww Miss we was just havin' fun! 🙂

How about a discussion about the gifts of having an MI?

or

Ways we can be proactive about changing the MI stigma?

or

Sharing different ways to relax and recreate ourselves? (Could include our favourite creative piece - writing, artwork, photograph, etc)

K

Perhaps holism for a topic? To try to integrate all of the resources available to each person with a mental illness so that they can balance them and use them most effectively.

Its a bit of a woolly concept, might need some narrowing down.

Alternately there is faith/religion as an adjunct to therapy. I promise to try not to convert anyone

Hmmm...

They sound like good topics. I have found my faith as an adjunct to therapy incredibly helpful. In fact I call them (along with parenting) my "earthly" trinity of growth and wellness.

I'm not into converting anyone either, I think it's rather rude. If people want to hear about your faith they'll ask. I've seen too many people have it shoved down their throat or be judged for their struggles. End of rant... 🙂

Kind regards,

Kristin
