Re: Hey 👋 - Frida

Hi @Frida47,

Welcome to the Forums. My name is FloatingFeather and I am one of the peer support workers at SANE. It is nice to have you with us.

I have had bouts with depression over my lifetime and a family member had OCD so I can relate and empathise a bit around how that feels - both can be challenging.

Just a couple of tips to help you get started:

Tip 1 - if you want to directly chat with someone on the Forums use the @ symbol and then start typing their name directly after it. A dropdown box should appear, and you then select their name. This ensures that they are notified of any posts you mention them in.

Tip 2 – the most recent posts are the latest page numbers

We look forward to seeing you on the Forums. Please let us know if you have any questions - we would be happy to help.

Warm regards,

FloatingFeather
