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 @rav3n

I'm snuggling with my cat... I feel peaceful. Pets are wonderful at grounding you and calming you.

Hello to you - I’ve been here a bit longer than you and I’m still trying to work this all out too. But I’m still here and managing to get some good support. I feel like you - walking on egg shells - we wouldn’t have these problems if it weren’t for people 😂 which is kind of funny in a way. At this time I feel like I can’t open my mouth to breathe without it being misunderstood. Hang in here, and I hope it will help you

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

Hello Everyone, I am new to this site and forums in general. I've joined because nine years of a relationship with a person with Paranoid Personality Disorder is taking its toll on me. I am hoping you may be able to share with me how to create an environment in which his challenging times are less frequent (over the last three years they are becoming more frequent with new, surprising ways he responds to the environment and social interactions). I am also hoping to learn new ways of helping him out of these challenging times; hopefully shortening the duration and intensity of those episodes. I am also hoping to start feeling alive again. I wish you all a peaceful week and thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer.
