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:

Thanks for the welcome. I'm a middle aged home body whose biggest fear is getting dressed for work and not being able to change my outfit once I leave! Hppy to meet you all 🙂 - Meepa

@Meepa @Ocean4 hi new peeps!! Yippee, love to have even more newbies in our wonderful lil community!

Also, just a lil tip, if you want other members to be notified that you've responded, you can tag them - use the @ symbol and a drop down will appear, and you can choose their name. If their name isn't there, you can type it out and it should then appear for you to select, then it will show up in blue, like this: @Shaz51 @AuntGlow

Looking forward to seeing you round!! 😋

Hi Meepa - we were driving in the car during the rain. I’m sure our windscreen wipers were happy to be in use again! It was lovely to smell the wetness.

@Shaz51

Been very sick the past three days that’s why I haven’t posted anything. Had too much insulin one day and been sick ever since. Still trying to work out dosage but I feel like crap. Tired and lethargic and woke with a headache and tummy ache that went away for a while when I took some insulin before lunch now they’re back don’t know what to do and doctor is no help. Have an appointment with an endo chronologist next week so hopefully they’ll sort it out. In the meantime I think I need a new doctor though

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

Hi everyone,

I've been feeling pretty lonely lately and could really use someone to talk to. I recently joined this platform hoping to find some mental support and a place to share my feelings. It's been tough not having friends or anyone to confide in, and I'm hoping things will start to look up.

If you're open to chatting or offering any advice, I would really appreciate it. Even just knowing someone is there to listen would make a big difference.

Thanks for considering,
Lisa [not member's real name - edited by moderator]
