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:

@Shaz51

If you could tell a politician one thing, what would it be?

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

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

@Jynx @Shaz51

I reckon if I could tell a politician one thing it would be how messed up the mental health system is and that it would be great if they would rethink it and put more funding there

Yes some of us turn on our videos, some don’t but we don’t use our forum usernames so nobody knows who we are anyway.


@Oaktree@Shaz51 I've done quite a few of the groups and I don't recall anyone there every using a forum username. None that i've ever recognised anyway. They're always really good and it's awesome to chat with people face to (sometimes) face.

Hi I’ve joined this group for some support. Not sure if this is the right space. My daughter just got out of ICU mental health adolescent ward after attempted suicide. She has been sent home - no medication and is extremely depressed. At night the anxiety escalates and she takes it out on us- gets angry, breaks things, shouts. We sit with her and try to talk her through calmly, assuring she is safe and loved but she rejects any support. After midnight she finally falls asleep. I just don’t know what to do for her

@B_D_V I have had experience with mental health ward. Your daughter really needs to talk to someone who can sympathise and relate to what she's been through. I hope this helps. 🙏 Ruby.
