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:

We wouldn't have the community we do without their efforts and their passion! Feel free to reach out to them, they're always quite happy to help guide and support 😊

I live in Hope. As I feel their is no cure

If only one can get out of this dreaded negative head space where one's thoughts are revolving with no exit

Day in day out right until I finely sleep & then soon as my eyes open

Black deep negative thoughts

Hey @LCBABE1731 , sorry to hear that today have been a bit of a tough day with the black dog. Are you feeding the black dog? How's the white dog going? What's been happening for you?

I hope you have something nice planned out for you this evening.

Hey @Happychick , we haven't forgotten you! It's great you have popped by. What have you been up today lately?

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

@tyme Quietly going crazy. All I do now is cry I’m just so stressed and overwhelmed, I’ve been put on new insulin cause my blood sugar readings have been very high but don’t think the new insulin is working either feel like I’m slowly dying and no one can do anything for me. So worried about everything including my money and my study, feel like I can’t do anything right and nothing is working out for me doesn’t seem much point in living if all this is happening and can’t see it getting better any time soon

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

Hey @Happychick , I'm sorry to hear this. It sounds so hard to manage. I'll be honest, I can relate to the feelings but I can't relate to the insulin part. I wonder if @Shaz51 is able to share some of their insights into what it is like to require insulin etc?
