I never write and rarely talk about issues affecting my life which I feel ashamed of. Already though.. in taking this step of joining and writing, it looks as though things can change. I am glad I am making this step. </SPAN></P> Mon, 14 Oct 2019 00:08:55 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/beginning-today/m-p/490816#M26710 Lara010 2019-10-14T00:08:55Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/beginning-today/m-p/490817#M26711 <P>Hi Lara welcome</P> <P>I've been on this site for several years as well as being a Community Champion.
