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:

Tagging in our lovely bunch of Community Guides too! They're seasoned members who volunteer their time and energy towards making the forums a safe and welcoming place for everyone. 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 😊

Hey @Lostaz there's always somewhere to reach out if you need a safe, non-judgmental place. For starters, we don't judge here, but if you'd like it to be more of a one-on-one conversation and Blue Knot isn't a right fit, maybe Beyond Blue would be a good option? You could even use their chat option if you're not sure about a phone call.

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

Hello @Joe14 and others, well ....frustrated really, had a wonky week! Anxiety has crept its way into my life significantly over the last 4 weeks (although I have suffered from it all my life) due to me not being able to regulate how I navigate through life. Always rushed and overdoing things and then anxiety kicks in even more. Not productive and very frustrating.

Hope your week has been better 🙂
