Hello to all,

I am new here and my very first time within a community online forum like this. The world is a very different place for all and it’s not easy to communicate now. I am looking forward to the different forums and gain coping skills.

All the best 🌺

hi and welcome to beyond blue.

this is a safe space where users re non-judgemental and support each other - though I guess you knew that already? And yes, the world has changed a lot this year. I noticed you mentioned coping skills - you could have a look at the threads on grounding and mindfulness; they would make a good starting place. If you want to tell me or us more about yourself and what brought you here, I am all ears and listening.
