Hey all,
I know someone has done this post before, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the forum! Anyway, was just wondering how/where you found out about Minds Like Ours and what (if anything) prompted you to join. I thought it'd be really interesting to see how many people were referred by other MiLO'ers and who just stumbled across us by accident.
Sooooo, where did you find Minds Like Ours?
Thanks, Bex x

When you posted on the peer support Facebook group about the idea you and James had, I think a day into it and two days after the documentary? So I'm almost an original

I was there from the beginning! had a short twitter convo with Bexicles about waiting lists after Diaries of a Broken Mind aired. About a day later she'd birthed (yes I said birthed) MiLO and here we are!

Ooooh birthed! Lavvly.
I wish you could look back at Twitter conversations like you can on Facebook, I would love to see some of the Twitter conversations I had with MiLO'ers all the way back in June.
I do have a copy of the tweets between James and I though, when this first came about.
And Laura, I completely forgot I even posted in there, that's so amazing!
Kayleigh, that's so lovely <3

So Vony you were referred by Joe and Joe was referred by Kimberley? That's so incredible when you think about it. Twitter does some incredible things!

Totally by coincidence, I had never really used that group, just got the notification and here I am I hadn't actually seen the documentary until I saw this group, because I didn't have access to TV at the time

I saw the documentary and I followed Bex on twitter after that. I sent her a tweet once she started talking about MiLO and thats how it all began...

I was there pretty much from the start too, I was subscribed to your YouTube channel Bex and you made a thank you video about diaries of a broken mind. I'd just watched the programme (think it was on a couple of nights before) and followed your links in the video to see what it was all about! I don't even know how I ended up subscribed - you only had a couple of videos before that, maybe one had just been a suggested video or something (I watch a lot of MH content on there) and I subscribed on the off chance, just to see if you'd do anything more. Clearly I forgot about it and then that video just popped up on my feed a couple of months later! Am I glad I spontaneously did that now!

I'm pretty sure I was googling someone's YouTube channel from the programme. Started looking for the episodes I'd missed online, and bam... Discovered you lot of lovelies!

Derren Brown posted the MiLO intro video on Facebook - that's how I became aware. I've barely posted though, due to crisis after crisis...
