Hi beautiful people,

New to Beyond Blue and I'm happy to be here 🙂 Never been involved in a forum before but i think i'm getting the hang of it.

Very tough times in the world today, I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Billiee,

I'll echo what James said in welcoming you here! We're a friendly bunch and lots of people are keen to talk through some of the scary and stressful stuff going on right now. Hope to see you around the forums 🙂

Best,

Gems

Hi S123,

Welcome! Here is a fine place to post and introduce yourself, though if you would prefer you are always welcome to start a thread of your own in the "welcome and orientation" page. Let me know here in the replies if you need any help!

In any case, welcome again 🙂

HI Sam69,

Your doing great! I'm also new, looking around and getting comfortable with the forums. You've made a start already so well done. Keep up the exploring, posting and sharing.

Hayles 🙂

Sam69, HaylesB, S123, welcome all!

The forums are organized by general topic here on the"All Posts" tab of the main page (https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/online-forums). The "Welcome and Orientation" and "BB Social Zone" ones are full of threads of new people introducing one another and talking more socially. All the rest further down the page are categorized by topic (depression, anxiety, relationships, etc).

Any thread you ever post in will be saved and you can see it with the "My Threads" button, and whenever someone adds something to a thread you have posted in it will rise to the top of this list. I usually like to keep this one bookmarked 🙂

Welcome again!
