Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Here's today's newest forumites:

I'm glad to hear that today's a better day for you @Happychick

What's everyone's plans for the weekend @Happychick @Spiraling @Confused44 @amonrae04?

Will it be a busy one, or a more slow-paced one?

I think I'll be trying to fit in some time checking things off my to-do list, mixed with some downtime, but we'll see!

I have been a member of Sane forums since the end of May 2021. Sane forums have been a huge part of my recovery journey.

Trying hypnotherapy on the weekend so looking forward to that and I have young children so will be alot of parks and keeping them entertained. Next week I'm going to try and get back to work slowly by just logging in for a few hours each day from home I'm nervous about it and fearful but trying to be brave

Sounds as though next week will mark a return for a few of you @amonrae04 @Confused44 @Happychick its understandable that it would be a bit anxiety-inducing. I hope that you're able to connect on here as it's helpful to you, and to know that you're not alone and that we're here for you.

Just a quick forums tip: to make sure that other's are notified when you reply to them, you can tag them by pressing "@" and then either selecting the username from those that are suggested, or typing in the username until it pops up in the list. Once you select the username you're after it will appear as blue, like this: @Oaktree
