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 tag @Oaktree!! 💙

@Jellybeans25 absolutely - i too am working on embracing the loneliness and channelling into enjoying my independence. some days its tricky, but others days - it feels really freeing. i like to think that with time, those waves will smaller and easier to manage. 💜

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

Thank you for welcoming me, it's great to be here 😊 I just am interested in others' experiences with cPTSD and doing EMDR. Also here as a friend of someone with severe mental illness. Maybe looking at resources for that. In terms of how I can help them without burnout and they can't afford to see a therapist. Thank you for having me 😊

Hi everyone, thanks for the welcome, its great to be able to be seen and heard here. I feel safe sharing and like the support, thankyou.

I came across a quote that really resonates with me and it might for someone else.

"THE ONLY PESON YOU’RE DESTINED TO BECOME IS THE PERSON YOU DECIDE TO BE"

Have a great weekend everyone ✨️🙏🏼
