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 was looking for a way to make the world a bit kinder. I love that RO is such a safe and supportive community built by so many amazing people
It's nice to meet you @Potatoes_are_good! Welcome to the forums!
Potatoes are indeed good.
I'm so sorry that you've been feeling sad lately. We're here to listen and support you if you need someone to talk to.
I joined ReachOut because I wanted to expand my peer support skills, make new friends and use my knowledge and life experience to make a difference to others. 🙂 It has helped me so much and I hope being on the forums will help you too.
@Potatoes_are_good welcome to the forums, and thanks so much for starting this thread! I'm loving reading about everyone's reasons for being here, and what they've gained from being on the forums. It's such a generous and welcoming community, and I know that I have learned so much from everyone here- it's a really safe space for chatting about what's happening for you.
I also very much agree with @WheresMySquishy - potatoes are good! Is there a story behind that user name? I love it!
heyo and welcome! i've only been on this forum for a few months and i joined because i was looking to help some people from my own experiences. can definitely relate to feeling the blues for an extended period of time and even to this day it catches me off guard sometimes. but we're all here together 🙂
Heyyy @wanderingwasp!,
Thankyou for the warm welcome and I can’t wait to meet new people within this community/forum.

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!
hi @panda_6940!
Appreciate your kind words and thanks for sharing😋. I think that is an absolute awesome reason to join this forum and I’m sure you’ve supported so many people. But yes hope to see you around more frequently!!
