New Here! How Does Social Space Work?

New Here! How Does Social Space Work?

Hey everyone! I joined the forums last night. I'm still getting my head around how this all works.

I'd like to use the Social Space to motivate me and feel less alone. I saw that there are discussion topics but I'm not sure how to post on them. Do I create a new post or reply to an old one?

I've been having a hard time with my mental health recently but I'm really trying to turn things around. I tendered to my plants for the first time in a while. Some of them had died. I guess that means it's a new beginning and time for a fresh start. I might sit outside on my balcony to study today. Time to enjoy the Spring weather. 🌻☀️ Stay safe everyone.

@REDLINEZ750 I'm only in my first year it's stressful but so rewarding. Unfortunately being overwhelmed by other things in my life is starting to affect my work but I know I'll be okay soon.

Yes my balcony sunrises are beautiful, they light up my whole room. ☀️

Thanks for your advice and your dog is ADORABLE! 🤗

Sounds awesome and it would have been so cute and fun to do the animal enrichment 😊 Being around animals is so therapeutic for me.

Yep @puppydoglover animals and plants and nature. For me that includes rocks lol cos I started studies in Earth science.

Yes I am the same. The beach is my favourite place I find it so calming. How are your studies going?

@puppydoglover sometimes members when they are posting might forget to add names because there are just so many people so the best thing i can suggest is just add a few posts yourself in a thread. everyone here is friendly 😄

Aw that’s nice to hear about another dog, I know of a few forum members that have assistance dogs, I wonder what kind of dog you are thinking of getting next year?

sorry for late reply, I hope your week has been good so far 😊

Re: New Here! How Does Social Space Work?

hi @puppydoglover welcome to the forums 🙂 good advice and welcomes from everyone

it's a bit of a maze at times and there are rules and moderation and some ppl here are moderators and others are members - i do not know if the moderators have clinical background or are tech ppl.


It is important to remember you are always free to reply and also not reply and engage with whoever you like or don't like - and that the space can work for u as u need 🙂

Re: New Here! How Does Social Space Work?

@Chasingsunsets Thank you. I'm back outside on my balcony enjoying the morning sun with a coffee now 🤗

Cavoodles are full of sweetness 💓

For my assistance dog I'd prefer either a labrador, golden retriever, poodle mix or border collie. I am highly considering adopting a dog with the right temperament as I'd feel great to give them a forever home and their personality would be more stable than a puppy. 🐶

I hope your week has been going well too.

I'm finding work hard at the moment but talking about my future assistance dog on this forum is motivating me to get back into it so that I can keep my job and have the money to spend on it.
