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!

Sounds really hard, good on you for reaching out. Yeah sometimes it feels like nothing and noone can help

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

Thank you. I've joined to seek some support as I care for a young adult with severe OCD (also AuDHD, cPTSD with recent discussions around BPD too). Hoping to connect with other people who either care for, or have their own lived experiences in any of these areas. Thanks for providing this forum!

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

Hi @Ru-bee,

Thank you for the message 🙂

Sorry to be a downer, but it has been a very tough week for me and the people I care for. We're having an intervention today to get my partner some support after a major suicidal episode last night. Feeling very stressed and worried. Trying to take some joy in the things I like though. My apologies if that is a bit heavy for a first message haha. Just trying to be honest.

Looking forward to getting some support and community from these forums 🙂

Thank you

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

Hi @tealeblaire That's a lot to be going through! I'm glad that you've been able to reach out here and hope that you can feel supported by the community during this time. I hope everything goes as well as it can today, feel free to update us and perhaps even create a thread so that the community can provide more focused support if that would be helpful 💜
