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!

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

Welcome to the forums @JAG94 !

Glad to have you with us.

I don't personally have a diagnosis of schizoaffective affective disorder, but I've sure had my fair share of mental health challenges!

It's been a long term and ongoing recovery journey for me, and I'm so grateful I've had these forums to support me through.

I hope you find that connecting with others here will support you in your recovery so that you feel less alone.

Do you have any hobbies?

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

Hi all, thanks for the welcome 😊

Hoping to gain advice/hints that can help me to assist my 36yr son-bipolar 1/schizoaffective who has had 4th visit to hospital in past 6yrs. Beautiful soul who doesn’t think he needs meds once treatment order ceases. 🥹

Trying to ensure I look after myself as well so thought chatting with others who have lived experiences would be beneficial.
thanks for being here ❤️
