Hi @Former-Member ☺ Nice to 'meet' you.
There are heaps of people around who will be able to help you settle in if you have any questions. One tip I was given when I joined is to put the @ symbol in front of someone's name to tag them if you'd like.
Hope you find the forum helpful.

Re: aeiou says hello
It's a pretty big place @Former-Member - it can be easy to get a bit lost I think, especially when we first join. You started a new thread, uploaded a profile pic and posted on the intro thread - you're off to a great start!
There are social spaces for chatting about anything and everything really, and in that section are some general chat threads. You can search for specific topics using the search bar if you'd like to also, or share some of your experience and story if/when you're ready.
Amazing colours in your profile pic!

Re: aeiou says hello
my story
i have bipolar 2 and ptsd. i don’t know in what order. i have asperger too, but i don’t think that’s a mental illness?
bad things happened to me in my childhood and i forgot about that for a long time. i studied and worked and then i got sick. i lost my job and they were cruel to me about being sick. now i’m at home and trying to get better. i want to work again some day.
i like painting, photography and being outdoors.
are there people here who have ptsd or mental illness and asperger- or are on the autism spectrum?
are there people here who have ptsd or bipolar?
are there people here who got problems at work?
thank you.

Re: aeiou says hello
I'm sorry to hear about the bad things that have happened @Former-Member.
There are lots of people here who live with bipolar, others who live PTSD (I have PTSD) and people who also live with developmental disorders. Some people live with a combination of different mental health diagnoses/challenges. There are also lots of people who are not working because of their mental health, people who are trying to return to work, people who do work... Something I've learned from being here is that, as much as our experiences are unique to us, we're not alone in our struggles and with the challenges we face.
I'm heading out for a while but when I come back I'll post a link to some threads you might be interested in reading or checking out, unless someone else does.
Looking forward to seeing you around ☺

Re: aeiou says hello
@Former-Member great picture! I have bipolar 1 and generalised anxiety disorder. And I have trouble with work, off and on. I felt quite lost here at first. Just navigating and getting to know people was new for me. I haven't been on any other forums. It's worth persisting. Hopefully see you around

Re: aeiou says hello
Hi there @Former-Member
I have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) which is a little similar to Bipolar 2 (I was diagnosed originally with this). I also have complex PTSD, Major Depression and Anxiety.
I haven't worked since July last year, and my GP still won't let me return to work as I am too unstable plus work is one of my biggest issues right now.
I also really like photography. I broke my really good DSLR and haven't being able to get it fixed
