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 😊

Thanks! It’s been a rough week. I’ve rung Lifeline nearly every day and the MH team at hospital. Police have come out, Beyond Blue, and the suicide callback team

Hi and welcome to the forums.

That really does sound like a very hard week.

I hope that you are feeling safe tonight?

Hey @Ingetnamn10 ,

Sorry to hear it has been a rough week.

I hope you find the peer connection here helpful as you go through this rough patch.

You are not alone. Most people here have had their fair share of rough patches, myself included, so I know what it is like, first hand.

I joined in hopes of finding the link to the Spotify playlist mentioned in group sessions, but haven't been able to find it 🙃
