Hey everyone, I’m Owhen 😊 I’m new to this forum and still finding my way around. I’m really curious to learn more about how things are run here and how I can get involved in the discussions and support. Any pointers on navigating the space and getting started would be super helpful!

I’ll be sharing a bit more about myself soon, so you all can get to know me better. Really looking forward to connecting with everyone and being a part of this amazing community! ❤️
 
Hi Owhen,

Welcome to CWE! Everyone here is wonderful and very kind and helpful. If you have any questions just post
your question and anyone who can relate to it will respond. I've learned a lot from everyone here and they have
all been supportive and kind.

Wishing you the best of luck and May God Bless You,

Sue
 
HI Owhen it's great to meet you. I'm sure you'll be able to get and give a lot of advice on here!
 
Hi Owhen, it's lovely to meet you!.

You asked about ways to navigate the forums, well.. apart from the forums in the top, (which you can just click on and interact with ), you can also subscribe to forums and threads- and when someone posts to them, you can see it in the alerts section.. it's a really good one to use. I use it myself (ah and you can get emails about new replies and threads, too!)

Anyway, I am ranting on. Welcome to the forum. It is a comfort to have you here, yes, you heard me. a comfort.

I see this forum as a bit of a family, and now you are also part of it
 
Hi Gina,

thank you so much for the warm welcome and the helpful pointers! I really appreciate the guidance.
especially as someone still figuring things out around here. It’s comforting to know I can count on the community’s support, and I’m starting to see how closely-knit this space is.

It means a lot to hear that being here is seen as a comfort—it makes me feel less alone. I’ve noticed how active and supportive you’ve been, and I hope I can contribute even a fraction of that to the community someday. Looking forward to connecting more and learning from everyone!

Take care, and thanks again for making me feel part of the family already. 😊
 
Hi Valerie, it’s great to meet you too!
I’m looking forward to both learning and sharing my own experiences here. It’s already feeling like a place where I can connect on a deeper level with people who understand. Can’t wait to see how we all support each other!
 
Hello & welcome to CWE. It's a great place to get information, or just rant/let out your frustrations if you don't feel well. Even family often can't understand how we feel/the issues we're struggling with.

Thank you so much.🫂.
And oh trust me, I know so much about the whole family thing.
