Hi, I'm new to this. I have no idea what I'm doing and this is probably incorrect... Can somebody help me figure this out? I feel lost and like I don't belong.

Hi,

Oh dear, I think that I just cancelled my own post.

what I wanted to say was a caring welcome to you here 🙂 I know you said that you feel lost and like you don’t belong. But if it helps, here on the forums, you most certainly d belong. It’s a community here...

You’re sounding nervous and unsure. I recall my first post was nerve racking too...

There’s clearly something bothering you. Would you like to tell us a little more what is going on? You can use this space to share your troubles.

kind thoughts,

Pepper

Welcome CreepyLilGhoul to beyond blue forums. Can you be more specific. As to where you feel like t you dont belong. Do you need advice on depression or another affliction.

Thanks for welcoming here, it does feel nice to know I'm doing the correct thing. I was just really confused because I signed up to this so I could know more about what's going on in my life (I suffer from MDD and GAD) but the site was kinda confusing and I didn't really understand what to do or where to start. I suppose I should be more confident and try to work it out myself but I'm scared of doing something wrong and people hating me for it or something like that.

Ah, sorry this isn't more specific or anything... My feeling of being lost was a kinda gut feeling that was nagging me in the back of my head, like it was saying that this place isn't for me because I'll mess stuff up? It's really scary and conflicting and I feel really hopeless.

Hi CreeyLilGhoul,

It’s lovely to hear from you again. How brave of you to write...good on you.

Yes, I get what you’re saying. I think when we first sign up, it takes some time before we get used to the forums. Take your time with things...people here tend to be very caring and patient so I highly doubt anyone will be upset with you for not knowing the ropes. Everyone here was (or is) a new here at some point so we understand.

I was thinking maybe it would help if you let us know what you’re looking for e.g. support, certain info, connections, etc so we can help you out a bit better. What do you say?

Kind thoughts,

Pepper
