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!

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

Hi guys,

Just saying hello and welcome. I will go back and read this thread properly when I get a chance. A little about myself, I am 53 and happily married for almost 31 of those years. We have 3 kids (2 boys, 1 girl). I have bipolar affective disorder and possibly BPD and ADHD. I have been doing really well the last couple of years due to a medication change 3 years ago. I have a support worker, a case manager, a psychologist and a psychiatrist, along with my lovely GP of course. I have been a member of Sane Forums since May 2021

It would have been great to connect on here during Covid. I wish I’d known about it.
