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:

@outlander

she’s just a black cat with a spicy attitude. Keeps things interesting for me. I never know what I’m going to get. She makes me smile. I would be lost without her.

I do creative journaling. Mostly just cutting and pasting pictures and stuff from magazines. Writing my favourite quotes with pretty flowers and drawings. Just anything to keep me busy and distracted from life for a while.

I’ll have to think of something to start a thread with. Maybe I’ll read through some others and see what they’re saying. Get some inspo. I’m sure I have a lot, it’s just whether others want to hear it lol 😂

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

Thanks for welcoming me to the forum. I am wondering if there is any parent like myself who had to deal with a teenager of borderline personality disorder ? I don't know how to help her andshe is having an episode right now. Is there any support that someone would know I can get , it seems that families of 16 year olds are being pushed back in this society, it feels awful. I only want to help her and support her. She has been staying at her friends for the past weeks due to her anger and misunderstandings, but now the friend has left there is only the adult left at the house and I am worried. Can anyone please advise me or someone has been through the same ??? Bpd will not be cured easily I read . It feels hopeless. Any advice please or what action I should take ? She

Hello @Mayar40

I'm hearing what a hard and scary situation this is, and that you're feeling the lack of supports right now. I see that you're wanting to connect with other parents, and while I can't offer guidance from my own lived experience, I did want to share a few threads that may be useful while we wait for other members to respond:

Daughter with BPD - SANE Forums

Re: Raising Awareness of BPD - Flipping the Script - Page 65 - SANE Forums

As well as some resources which I know have been shared with others in similar situations:

Home - ReachOut Parents

Information for families and friends (carers) - Spectrum

Lastly, you might find it helpful to post in the Friends, Family and Carer's space as a more direct way to connect with peers

I know that was quite a bit of info to throw at you, but I hope that some of it is helpful to you and helps to reassure you that you are not alone this

Hi @TarekA

There are posts on all kinds of topics here. There is a search function at the top of the screen. @Ru-bee Can tell you where to find that or you can make a new post introducing yourself and talking about what you need help with and helpful community members will respond.
