Hi everyone,
I am new to the forums and wanted to say hi. I’m actually a little lost a the moment so would appreciate some pointers on how to make the most of this wonderful online space 🙂
Thank you so much,

Hi @Pepperpot and welcome to the forum ☺
It can definitely be a bit tricky to work out where to go/what to do on the forum when you first join, so it's great to see you looking for some pointers.
Maybe it would be helpful to understand what you're looking for here if you'd like to share? There are lots of social chats that are great for company, threads about specific interests and hobbies, conversations about particular mental health challenges etc. There's this thread here where you can introduce yourself if you'd like to also.
One tip I found helpful when I first joined was to use the @ symbol which will tag someone if you'd like to reply and want to tag them.
Looking forward to seeing you around
