Hey, people. How's it going?
I'm a dev in my early thirties and had been here some time ago with another username. I've always had my ups and downs and had this place as a place of acceptance.
Lately I've been struggling a lot with mental health issues (anxiety, depression, negative thoughts, etc.) and thought that coming back would be a way to find comfort and some sense of belongingness again.
I know that's not the purpose of the forum but just in case anyone is facing similar problems and want to talk, I'm here.

Welcome back, even if it isn’t under the best circumstances.
How long were you a member before? Did you make any real connections the first time around? I have met some truly great people that have enriched my life on here. I have left and come back for the people and the community so I think I understand a little bit of what you mentioned.
I’ve had a couple struggles as of late and would be open to talking if you’d like. I don’t know how long ago you were here but I’ve been on here for 15 years or more under my old username; mrniceguy.

Finding belonging with other devs IS the purpose of this forum. No need to apologize! Welcome back. I hope talking with other devs helps.

And it works brilliantly, I signed up to meet and interact with the PWD. Never would have imagined the comfort and sisterhood I would find with the devs. Year and a half 1 and have met 3 devs IRL, one even stayed at at my place for a weekend.

Welcome back! The sense of belonging that I have experienced among devs is priceless! If I didn´t have them as friends, I would feel pretty lost in this world, I think.

I've never had the opportunity to meet any dev in person but I suppose it's amazing to talk and share experiences in person and not only behind a screen.

I very recently returned after being away for years and I can definitely see how that sense of belonging might occur, from a PWD perspective in my case. Welcome back, in any case. Not sure how much help I personally would be, but happy to talk
