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!

You may want to look into SANE’s recovery club. They do online zoom meetings.

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

Thanks for the welcome.

I have a husband suffering from psychosis, possibly in connection with medication for epilepsy. The worst thing is that some of his auditory hallucinations involve my kids. Yes, they're older (late teens, early 20's), but I kind of feel guilty at times for not kicking him out and ending the mental abuse. When trust is gone and they don't know what's real and what's not, what's left?

I know plenty in here are suffering far worse but, thought I'd pop this here.

Thanks to whoever reads.

Hello @EC3

I just wanted to let you know I read your post, and that no one can compare suffering, if you feel you are suffering that is valid. Thank you for sharing a part of your story
