Hi, just a new member who wants to chat to someone

Hi everyone,

Just feeling a little bit of pressure and feeling a bit down and looking for someone to chat to. Am I in the right place? Sorry if I am not. If not, can someone point me in the right direction?

Hello Kodak, one benefit to this new format is that it's much easier for people to post a new thread, unlike the old format where they seemed to have trouble.

We are here to listen to what you need to say and hope we can help you as many people probably have been through similar circumstances.

Geoff.

Hi Kodak68, welcome to the forum😊

You are more than welcome to chat with us, we are here to listen; plus in the bb social zone there are some interesting topics, which could provide some distractions. I like going there to see what the others are talking about

Hi Sophie. Thank you for responding and sorry i took so long to respond-life got in the way a bit as i am sure it does for everyone. I feel like a bit of an imposter here cos on the outside my life is really good. And i dont want to waste anyones time. And im usually pretty tough and can look after myself but sometimes i just wish i had someone that understood me 😔

Thanks Sophie, sorry i took so long to respond. I just wrote a long message but i think i accidentally deleted before i sent it

Kodak68,

It's okay, let it all out! Even if you feel like life's travelling alright, don't be afraid to have a bit of a vent or express how you're feeling. I understand where you're coming from - I'd generally refer to myself as pretty tough too, but sometimes, as you said, it's nice to have somebody to talk to who understands what you're going through and can listen to you with patience and empathy.

By all means, feel free to have a chat with us if you'd like!
