My name is Baet and I am 25 and from Sydney. My main hobbies are golf, helping people, video games (I am too old right?:P), heavy metal, socialising (spent to many years in my bedroom lol) and just enjoying life. </P> <P>I am in my final year at university. I am studying a Bachelor of Social Work. I am currently completing my final 1000 hours of mandatory provisional work placement. </P> <P>I suffered from serious depression and social anxiety from 2011-2017. I <SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">joined these forums because I have a passion for helping people and I can use my experiences suffering from mental health problems to better the lives of others who are struggling at the moment.</SPAN></P> <P>I really enjoy these forums and believe they are a great platform and provide a non-judgmental caring environment. Look forward to getting to know everybody. </P> <P>Have a great week guys!</P> <P>Baet <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Wed, 05 Sep 2018 05:42:29 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hey-everyone/m-p/371117#M18195 baet123 2018-09-05T05:42:29Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hey-everyone/m-p/371118#M18196 <P>Hello Baet,</P> <P>It is nice to meet you here and welcome (though you've alerady made a mountain of posts already!)</P> <P>I am glad you have joined the forums here. It sure sounds like the people here could benefit from hearing about your experiences.</P> <P>If 25 makes you too old for video games, I'm doomed at 26 lol.</P> <P>James</P> Wed, 05 Sep 2018 08:00:39 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hey-everyone/m-p/371118#M18196 james1 2018-09-05T08:00:39Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hey-everyone/m-p/371119#M18197 <P>Hello Baet and welcome! it is nice to meet you <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> <P>thanks so much for sharing your experiences around the forums and also well done for getting to the final stages of your degree. thats pretty amazing</P> Wed, 05 Sep 2018 08:45:34 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hey-everyone/m-p/371119#M18197 startingnew 2018-09-05T08:45:34Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hey-everyone/m-p/371120#M18198 <P>Thanks James and Starting <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":red_heart:">❤️</span></P> <P>One love guys, much appreciated.
