I also welcome you to the BB online Community.</P> <P>As you indicate in your introduction, this is a two way street when it comes to receiving and giving support. A place where we and our peers support and encourage each other and, in doing so, we often develop some surprisingly close on-line friendships. I hope you find that to be the case, as I did. There are many very compassionate and understanding members here who are always willing to help a fellow MH sufferer if they can.</P> <P>When you feel ready and confident enough to do so, I hope you'll post a little more about yourself. I personally suffer from PTSD and OCD, both of which are anxiety disorders. And also experience bouts of depression, which is common with PTSD. </P> <P>The forums are a safe environment for members to discuss their personal experiences, their illnesses and their concerns. Posts are moderated to ensure that continues to be the case. </P> <P>I hope to hear from you further and, once other members know a little more about you, they too are likely to jump on board to welcome you and offer advise and support where they can.</P> <P>Please take a look around other sections of the Forums and have a browse of some of the sections relevant to yourself - eg Depression, Anxiety, PTSD &amp; Trauma, Youth, etc. Feel free to reply to any other threads that you have an interest in, or have advice to add. Your input will always be most welcome. </P> <P>I'd also suggest you take the time to drop into some of the BB Social Zone and Staying Well threads, as thats a great way to connect with other members.</P> <P>See you around.</P> <P>Sherie </P> Mon, 02 Oct 2017 17:52:02 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hi/m-p/292073#M14273 Guest_5218 2017-10-02T17:52:02Z
