How is it secret if new people can sign up to this site and then immediately be allowed to join the Facebook thing?

I'm not being critical, but just wondering how it works.

It is secret because only members in the group can see what's posted there and who's in there. In any way you put it there's no way really to prevent someone from joining just on the basis that they're new, unless there's a legitimate reason why we would think they're spammers.

It would've been great if "old" members like yourself gave it a try to at least see what it's all about and see whether or not you liked it (you have nothing to loose really), but unfortunately that's not the case.

I would really like to join it. There was a time when we had a chat window on the BBH front page and many of us would go in there most evenings and have a nice time just chatting and relating. It was great even though the window itself could be a bit tedious to use.

I hate the thought that someone I know might figure out who I am if they ever visit this forum and then sneak into that group to confirm it. Anyone trying to find out about BB related matters would soon find their way to this forum - as I did. Sorry if that seems paranoid, but my life is still a very upside down tangled mess from trying to cover up my warped existence of decades suffering with BB. I can never be a normal person, it's all gone too far for me.

Totally understand your concerns, but if privacy is really an issue for you you don't even have to post any pics or anything that could reveal your identity to anyone. So really there's no reason why each and everyone of us here shouldn't join the group, which is a place to sociolize and feel part of a community instead of hiding in isolation which brings all kinds of thoughts, including thoughts of ending our lives.

I agree and I'm glad you understand why I've asked these questions.
As soon as I've got a spare couple of hours, I might join up. I have never joined Facebook and have no idea how all these social things work, except for instant messenger type apps.

We can't wait to have you and everyone else on the group join us. We're all amazing people, for the fact alone that we're dealing with this on a daily basis and still manage to stay positive.

Just so know it really takes only a few minutes to create an account.

Thanks jess! I agree it's a different thing altogether to interact in real-time. I'll have more spare time soon and promise to join up when that time comes. I'll easily get addicted to it I think.

I was so excited when I found this forum, being able to openly discuss things for the first time. I still feel excited about having this opportunity, and the real-time conversations are what's missing I think.

I hope more people will join up!

I just noticed there's not much of a mention about the Facebook group on the front page of this site. Maybe a banner would help bring more people over.

I agree. There used to be one on the front page but it seems like it's been removed; not sure why.

Glad you joined Stankie. We're still hoping for more people to join.

Come on people don't think you're too good to be socializing with other sufferers like yourselves...

I can't tell you how accurately this describes my situation, its been years since i got bb that i have a hard time remembering who i used to be.
i have planned a summer vacation to ibiza this year though, i want to forget about this issue for a few weeks and live a little, have a smile & enjoy some music.
