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 don't have any plans, just hopeful it will be better than last weekend (relaxing & happy)

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

@Ru-bee @Oaktree yeah I am hoping I can get some benefits from these forums.

as for the return to work in some ways it will be beneficial as I will have tasks to focus on however my employment comes with the potential for triggers and complex subject matter that is hard to manage when I’m not coping personally but I guess I have faked it this long I can keep doing so

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Thanks so much for the welcome! I'm still a little bit all over the shop, but I'm going to the gym today, then working tonight, but feel I need to do more - I'm so behind with uni after being pretty unwell for the last month or two. I really hope I can catch up but also stay happy hopeful and healthy

@Confused44

Good luck with the return to work. It can be very anxiety provoking.

@Snakesahoy

Good luck with catching up on uni. I am studying too and it gets really stressful. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

@Confused44 I know the feeling. My work carries alot of responsibilities and critical thinking which is making it very challenging for me to want/feel like I can go back to work when im functioning at like 20% but I'm going to try and least fingers crossed
