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!

Great to meet you @Jiji @Hopefulwings ,

It's always nice to see new members when they pop in to say hi.

Do you have any particular topics of interest?

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

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

@tymecoping with mental health and living on DSP are topics of interest

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

Well if you are interested to hear about coping with mental health, you are definitely in the right place @Hopefulwings

All the members here have their own stories of survival through mental health.

As for managing on the DSP, there are many who are on the DSP, are interested to be on the DSP or have been on the DSP. You can even start a discussion on it if you are interested. Let us know if you need help with strating a new discussion 🙂

@tyme I have schizoaffective disorder and I'm on an [name of medication edited by moderator] injection ones a month. So far, the injection is very effective on me. I'm curious to know about those that are on an injection how are they finding it.

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

@tyme For me, I think connecting with others, finding out about how other people regulate their nervous system, and also understanding trauma, BPD, and AuDHD and their interaction.
