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:

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 😊

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

Sure @Lost52, I am studying women's advocacy and yes it came straight to me!

Its interesting in the respect that I am learning a lot about myself, communication style, self-awareness. All areas I need to work on. Yours sounds really interesting. Are you enjoying it?

Depression is hard to manage, I hope you have some strategies to help with it. But I know from my own experience with depression that is easier said than done! Its a hard life to lead when you are constantly battling yourself 😞

Thanks for asking.

I went out bought a bag today. I felt good but then I felt sad because I couldn't break a pattern.

Im trying online disability group Saturday I hope it helps. I tried one yesterday but could not speak up.

Good on you for giving it another go @strawberry2 it can be really hard to speak up sometimes in group dynamics, that's something I struggle with too. Hoping that Saturday's group feels a bit more comfortable for you
