Re: New on here
If you would like to tag people so they get a notification that your talking to them. You just put the @symbol in front of their names just as weve done for yours.
Feel free to use the sane searchbar to have a look for things of interest such an alcohol recovery (we have a few of those) or have a look through the different sections and join in where you would like. Im happy yo introduce you to some other members on other threads if you feel more comfortable that way.
Family coming over for me is super stressful too. Something that helps me is to literally fake it till you make it meaning try to interact and smile eve if you dont want to and also take regular bathroom breaks just to gather yourself up. Any other ideas that you think might help with coping tomorrow?

You still need sleep to function so try to get a few hrs in if you can.
What are you studying?
