New Chat and Video Tools for HealthyPlace Support Network

Published in Untagged  by Amanda_HP | 29 Sep, 2009Print PDF
 

If you're a member of the HealthyPlace Mental Health Support Network, then you've probably noticed some changes taking place. We are updating not only the look, but we're adding some new features as well.

  • Chat: Many of our members have asked for better chat functionality.  Now, once logged into the support network, you will see a fixed gray chat bar at the bottom of your screen (similar to facebook) and the words "who's online" on the bottom right side.  All your "friends" are automatically added to the screen, and there's a green circle next to their names which indicates they are currently logged into the Support Network.  (Want to chat with others? Add them as a friend.)
  • Your Videos: If you would like to contribute personal videos, you can either link to a video you have on another hosting site, like youtube, or upload a video of your own.  This can be done from your "profile" page. Click "add a video" link under "my status".  Videos are a great way to share your feelings and experiences with others in the Support Network.

If you aren't a member, we encourage you to join.  It's simple and free. Just click the "register" button at the top, right of any HealthyPlace.com page.

We have more new features and new content coming in October. Stay tuned for that.

Cheryl1961, it will take some time to catch up with people using this. If you are looking for a chat with someone try posting what time you are usually on the sight and that will help others catch up with you. LadyJ

I don't know who to turn to in order to answer this question, so I'm leaving it open to anyone with an opinion. I have attempted suicide many times. As of now, my depression is pretty managable. But for some reason, I feel the need to hurt or kill myself even when I'm feeling better. I'm not sure what to do about this.

katelynb89, the best thing you can do is keep talking about it. Feelings are something that we always will struggle having. They come, what is important to remember is that feelings are actions, they are for many years from the frustration of not having all other options available to you yet. In forums, groups online you can build a good system that will help you get through these moments. Being able to write them out is in my best opinion a life saver I have seen many times over in my ten years on the net.

What we feel like is rarely what we find later to be true so always get a second opinion ok? keep talking about it and some of the things that bring it up for you. LadyJ

Stop by and leave messages when you will be online or email. I know it's hard to get started in groups when things are new yet keep trying to reach others. List what time you usually check in to healthy place so others can try to be on the same times. I'm in Central USA so mid day say 1-3 would be a good time if I knew others where going to be on I'll try to set the reminders to stop in. LadyJ
