Hi there, I'm new and just thought I'd say hello. I have a few mental health conditions but I'm mostly struggling with loneliness lately after getting out of an abusive relationship. Despite all of that I think I'm a pretty good person. I'd like to make some friends and chat with some people.

Hello CherrieRoyale, welcome 🙂 

I think it's great that you can see the good in yourself, despite living with mental health challenges and the experience of abuse. Loneliness is a relatable feeling and experience - a rather normal experience, in fact, after having been through the pandemic for the last year and a half and having recently left a relationship. 
 

I wish you all the best with your journey into and through recovery - you deserve the best of company and you deserve safety and respect!

Good luck 🙂

Welcome @Malus!

So nice to have you join us here in this space 🙂
I've found, as I'm relatively new here myself... that searching in the 'forums topics' a useful place in finding different areas of interest to be involved in connecting with others. 
Hope it might help with any feelings of loneliness. 

Thanks for introducing yourself here 🙂
