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:

@Former-Member i'm sorry to hear, that must be quite exhausting and upsetting to not get the help and support you're looking for. we're here to listen so please do let us know what sort of support you are after. i'm heading off for tonight but there will be other mods around and community members around, they'll be here for you too. 💙

Thankyou @rav3n. I'm not sure how much I can say on here as I don't want to get in trouble.

@Former-Member

When you have had a look at the How to thread and have worked out how to make a new discussion. Why don’t you make one introducing yourself and telling us a little about your situation. Maybe we can support you or give advice if that’s what you are looking for? Maybe you just want someone to listen. Please let us know what you need

You can read Community guidelines

again. You can say quite a lot. Just no graphic details, no identifying details, no medication names and no talking about the details of kilometres walked or weight lost.

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

Thankyou @Oaktree. I'll see if I can work it out. I'm really not sure what I need right now but with having noone to turn to for support it gets very lonely and overwhelming to deal with everything alone.

I hear you, I used to come here to Sane to battle loneliness while my husband was at work
