in Start here and say hello!

Hi everyone,

I’m new to the forum and wanted to say hello. I’m looking to connect with some like-minded people for slow-paced, low-pressure text chats and online friendships.

I used to be a big social butterfly, but these days my life is a lot quieter and slower.

I navigate CPTSD, ADHD, depression, and anxiety, alongside physical chronic pain (mainly my SI joint), which means getting out and about to meet people in person is incredibly tough for me right now.

I’d love to find people who are down for chatting about hobbies, life etc or just having a gentle text conversation where it’s completely fine if it takes a while to reply.

It would be great to connect with others who understand the balance of managing neurodivergence, mental health, and physical pain but still wanting to have a life outside of being stuck at home in the same four walls

Looking forward to getting to know some of you in the threads!

    Hiya you with the unpronounceable username :)

    Nice to meet you here and indeed: slow is the way to go, don't let anyone (or society) tell you otherwise. So what is slow but happy with you today? I've been enjoying the birds that sing in the garden (robin, goldfinch, and two days ago there even was a greenfinch which I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for bird apps LOL).

    Oooh, you mention hobbies, there is a nice chat thread called Kaleidoscope about crafts and we've also started a book club recently. I am curious about what you like to do to unwind.

    See ya!
