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:

Hi my name is koppa and I'm just finding my way around here. Not sure how this all works as I am not very computer savvy

Hi @Koppa ,

Welcome for joining us!

You can look around different groups we have here, post or reply to any topic to share your thoughts or experiences. Also, I would encourage you to have a read at our community guideline if you haven't already. It can give you a good idea on what kind of things to aviod including in your post.

Welcome @Koppa! Another handy resource to help you find your feet on here is this How To Guide put together by one of our awesome members

If you have any specific questions we're happy to help out, one really useful tip is to make sure you tag those who you're wanting to see your message/reply to. To do that type "@" and a list of suggested members will pop up, you can either select from the list, or if you don't see the username you can type it in until it appears. Once you select the username you're looking for id will appear blue like this @Koppa

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

Hello @Shaz51 @Koppa @Ru-bee @Jynx @GardensHeart .

I'm okay - struggling but okay. I hope you are all managing to find some peace and place.
I am very grateful to be a part of the Forum. As I am very new to this, I hope to have the courage to share and grow from our lived experiences. It can be very isolating . I too am exhausted and constantly challenged by my decisions and those ahead of me. Being in this safe space and knowing I have the support of the SANE services network and contributors is very reassuring.

I'll be more committed and brave.

Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the forums. It can be very confronting when we are starting to share our stories.
