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 😊

Honestly not so great atm. Meds are not working as well as they usually do and I am sleeping nearly non-stop. Feels like a slump but nothing that I normally try is working. Just keep swimming!

Hey @45Uw15H sorry to hear you're not so good right.

Completely agree that sometimes you do just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other and believe that you're moving towards better days, but I'm wondering if maybe it might be a good time to touch base with your GP for a medication review if you've noticed that they're not working as they used to? Sounds like it could be worth checking on
