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!

Hey @EA ,

Welcome to the forums! Great to have you with us!

It's pretty hot here too in Melbourne, but I can't complain.

Feel free to introduce yourself if you feel up to it. What are things you enjoy doing? What brings you to this forum?

We'd love to hear from you.

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

Hi, thanks for the welcome.
My week has been a challenge, a daughter who hears commanding and persecutory voices as well as her BPD+cpstd, this week she's sold a pH bought a new one, changed providers and numbers and email addresses, snapped bnk cards, apple watch and laptop and now can't log into anything, This as well as the trips to ED have taken its toll this week and it's only Wednesday.
Again thanks for the message and welcome to this page, I'm hoping to get myself and daughter through the MH moment in one piece xo

Hi @Daija @MuM2bpd-cptsd

Welcome! Great to have you with us!

I'm hearing some of the challenges you are facing. I'm sorry your daughter is struggling with her mental health @MuM2bpd-cptsd ... sounds so hard. Does she have supports on place?

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

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

Getting the right support is an ongoing challenge, public MH services have left her in crisis and not medicated properly so I'm her biggest advocate, pushing the govt funded pshyciatrist to properly assess and medicate so she can be stable enough to start therepy and stop dismantling her life, her current GP has been fantastic and I've booked a prvt psychologist for DBT and EMDR...[edited by moderator]

Hey @MuM2bpd-cptsd ,

Thanks for letting us know about the progress of your daughter. At least you have some supports in place at the moment.

I can't relate to your daughter's entire situation, but I can relate to having BPD and that's complicated enough!

I hope things get better for her.

Do you have supports in place for yourself? It sure is a massive hurdle for carers, and carer's fatigue is very real.

Hope you get the support you need too.

Just a note, for anonymity reasons, we've had to edit part of your last post that may give away your location.
