I'm new here. You all seem to be old friends, bantering back and forth. I'm not sure if it wouldn't be intrusive to just jump into the middle of things (ie. the potluck, MEN needed, etc) since I'm a stranger. Any advice?

Thank you! Along with being schizo-affective bi-polar I'm autistic and I'm worried about being offensive. My wife is my only friend in RL and I'm hoping to make some here. Just nervous I guess.

I've the same diagnosis as you. I think we're a bit rare around here, not sure. (Only been on ds about 2-1/2 weeks)

I started out on a schizophrenia forum, but it's pretty dead there. Schizo's are apparently less social.

I've been here a year and I feel like a stranger so it doesn't matter how long you been here. Some have been here a month and get more hits than a baseball

COME ON IN! The water is wonderful!

just go with the flow mate, jump in, have fun, or sit on the sidelines, it is totally up to you, the banter is most likely the more manic of us bouncing off each other, look forward to you JUMPING IN!!!

I'm still new here too, JonSnow. I think you should jump right in, too. It helps to release a few frustrations by pounding on this damn keyboard. The worst that can happen is you pissing someone off and the two of you (or more...people pick sides quickly here..lol) might state your sides of opinion. If that happens, it will be entertaining and if anyone picks on you too hard, let me know and I'll kick their ass.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
