Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hi @Shaz51

You're incredible.

Astonishing.

I'm really sorry but I'm now in such a bad way that I'm in a state of severe emotional instability. The likes of which I can't be honest about here for fear of hurting others.

I hope you get some relief from your conditions.

Ohh hugs @Sub-H-Alien and sitting with you my awesome friend 🧡

Letting you know that you are not alone xx

Thanks @Shaz51 for the tag.

@Sub-H-Alien ,

I'm sorry to hear that your post was marked as spam. I wanted to let you know that our system automatically flags some posts as spam. This may include:

- large number of posts being posted in a short amount of time

- the post contains what appears to be a contact number, email address or website they may be linked to spam

- the same post (or very similar) post is posted in more than one place.

This filter is on as a way to protect the community. It means moderators are then signalled to double-check the post to confirm whether the post is really spam or not. Sometimes, this may take longer than expected.

If this happens again in the future, feel free to email the team at team@saneforums.org

Once again, I'm so sorry that your post was sent to spam. I recognise the hurt that may be associated with this.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Please feel free to say hi here, or to ask any questions you may have if you've been feeling unsure about posting in other areas of the forum, otherwise this thread has lots of great tips and tricks to check out: https://saneforums.org/t5/Welcome-and-getting-started/Start-Here-Forums-How-To/td-p/1587277

Hi @TOXICONE I know that receiving a diagnosis can be really confronting and it can take some time to process. I'm glad that it is start to lead to some insight for you, and helping you to start to understand parts of yourself a little better.

Hey @Ru-bee, thanks for the warm welcome 😊

I've had a bit of a look around but couldn't find anything and was wondering if there was a specific eating disorders area of the forums/somewhere to connect with other people who struggle with restriction? (Or really anything else on the ED spectrum, I'd just appreciate the chance to talk to people with similar experiences).

Approximately one zillion years ago when I was an Online Teen I felt like I had so many peers who were struggling with the same things I was, but now I'm 30 and it feels like everyone I connected with back then has """grown out""" of their self-destructive behaviours and I'm still doing the same dumb stuff as when I was 12, 13, 14... etc.

Anyway, thank you again for the welcome, looking forward to browsing the forums some more 😊

thank you @Ru-bee

I have always been told I was crazy so getting another diagnosis was just another smack in the face. but learning more about BPD is actually helping me really understand me as a person.

SANE has been a massive help for me. with these forums and being able to talk to others that understand.

thank you again for your warm welcome 🙂

Thanks @Ru-bee for the welcome!

I’ve been in treatment for PTSD for about a year, and benefited from participation in SANE’s guided service. I’m supposed to be getting involved with some mental health peer support / storytelling related volunteering this year and wanted to connect with others more on this forum.

Day-to-day challenges for me are feeling really alone, especially in my work environment where people aren’t that considerate, hypervigilance /anxiety, and my ability to connect to others in my friendships and family relationships.

Aside from that, as you can guess by my username, I like ice skating and hope to do more of it this year! I also like reading, and doing crafting activities.

Lovely to meet you all
