Welcome to the forum! Glad you found us
A few tips on things that confuse newbies:
Cake day is the anniversary date of when you joined.
The 1515 or other numbers at the end of peoples posts are because there’s a 15 character minimum to post. So people put 15s after until they get to the minimum characters to post.
To tag someone, put the @ followed by the name.

Honestly, don’t read too much into it. This is mainly a precaution to head off spammers. You should have seen what it was like before the software had this feature. Naaasssty.

Welcome. I am 52 also. Originally diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia. But now I understand it’s just schizophrenia in the US with the new DSM 5.
What country are you in?
