I wanted to say hello as I am new here, and it’s my first time trying something like this.
My objective is to use this platform to express my feelings when I’m down, and hopefully contribute to your posts in support.
I often feel lonely and hopeless, socially isolated and thought this may be a good start.
God bless you all, I hope everyone finds the help/support needed. 🙏

Welcome @lovingjesus it's nice to have you join us!!
I think a lot of our community members can relate to feeling lonely, hopeless and socially isolated at times, myself included - so you're definitely not alone here 💙
Look forward to seeing you around the forums!
Also wanted to give you a lil tip - if you want to reply to a post, you can tag the person by using the @ symbol and typing their username like this @lovingjesus so that they're notified of your response.

@lovingjesus just wanted to say hi. I am pretty new here too. It seems a good place to make some connect, especially when feeling isolated.
