Tell me why you joined this forum and why you love it!

Hey guys!

I just joined and I don’t really know what to do here yet, but I thought I’d introduce myself and say why I joined. I’m potatoes_are_good and I joined this forum because I’ve been feeling consistently sad lately and I feel like I can’t talk to anyone about it. But I would love to talk to you guys who are going through the same thing or people who are just supportive 😊

 

So I’d love to hear from you guys and know your experiences and why you joined here, and has this forum helped you?

Hi @Potatoes_are_good  !

 

YOU ARE CORRECT potatoes are a S-tier, high-quality food. So versatile, so good. 

I love this forum because it has exposed me to so many different people, mindsets, backgrounds, and experiences. It made me more aware of what others go through on a daily basis, and its given me the opportunity to provide and receive support whenever life gets too much for me.

 

Speaking of, we are here to listen to you no matter what it is. Hopefully, you are feeling better, but if not I'm happy to hear why and talk about it.

I joined this forum because I wanted to help young people navigate life's challenges.

 

What I love about this forum is how resilient you all are even though you might not think it. It is inspiring to say the least. 

 

This forum has helped me a lot when I needed help, particularly when face-to-face help wasn't available

Hi @hunginc!

 

Thanks for sharing, yes I definitely feel this place has helped and that I feel comfortable on this forum, purely because I find face-to-face help is sometimes overwhelming and not always available.

Welcome to the forum @Potatoes_are_good ! It's great to have you here. Sounds like some tough times you are going through right now. Please feel free to share your thoughts and emotions here, we're all here to help you!

I joined this forum because of all the mental health issues I've seen my friends go through during the last few years, which made me more passionate about making a difference in terms of mental health in the community. This forum has really helped me gain a wider awareness of the kinds of issues people are going through and increased my understanding of these issues.

Hope to see you around! Smiley LOL
