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:

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

Things have been very hectic and stressful here. Not gonna lie, not coping too well, but I managed to get a new Mental health care plan and looking at my options for a psych.
I started playing netball last night for the first time in almost 2 years. That was something fun and just for me.

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

I am going well, thanks @Hopefulwings 😊 Hope today isn't a hectic one for you and you can get some good rest or a good coffee (or both!)

Good on you @Madcat for getting that MHCP, good luck on finding the right psych for you, hoping that it's a smooth process for you. And that's so cool about re-starting netball! It's great that despite struggling lately you've been able to take those steps for yourself, it shows real resilience. What position do you play? I was always a GK myself 😄

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

I can play at either end, so GK or GS. I’m getting on in age so prefer the GS role at the moment, but they put me in GA for a few quarters so I’m feeling it this morning. I also umpire juniors and coach my own daughter’s team. So it’s a busy night for me. But I am passionate about kids playing sport so I find it very satisfying and enjoyable.

Hey @Jiji ,

Thanks for sharing. You mentioned BPD, trauma, AuDHD...

I can say I have a wealth of experience in most of these areas! I've lived with the struggles of BPD for many many years, and it stemmed from trauma.

Over the years, I've had to work hard at regulating my emotions. It's been a big challenge, but I feel I'm in a good place now.

Feel free to share your experiences 🙂 You can also start a "New Discussion" if that helps.
