Come celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SANE Forums!

Come celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SANE Forums!

Hey there fellow forumites! 👋

As we wrap up 2024 with our contemplation caps on, we invite you all to reflect on your most meaningful moments from the past decade. Why the past decade? Because SANE Forums is celebrating its 10-year anniversary! A decade of sharing stories, making connections, and learning and growing together.🫂

Whether you joined the community 10 years ago or just this morning, we want to hear from you! Sharing our experiences is one of our favourite forums staples after all.

As part of our way of showing thanks to the community, we wanna shower you with gifts! All members who contribute to this 10-year Anniversary discussion thread will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a $50 gift card - there’s a total of 10 gift vouchers up for grabs!

If you’re a stuck on what to talk about, we’ve got some lil prompts here for guidance:

  • What experiences have brought you strength over the past 10 years?
  • What lessons have you learnt over the past 10 years that have had a positive impact in your life?
  • Share a piece of advice or support you’ve received, or perhaps a post you have read on the Forums that has stayed with you?
  • Share your reflections on what was happening in your life 10 years ago, or some reflections on where you were at when you first joined the forums - or both!

Can’t wait to hear from you all!✨

Re: Come celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SANE Forums!

Such a great milestone.

I've been here several years and learnt some coping strategies, had ongoing support and encouragement (and looked forward to connecting each day)... but the biggest thing is probably slowly learning to express myself, communicate my experiences, and find the words to reach out for help. I hope that in return I've sometimes been able to help others. I'm still working on my social skills so sorry if that sounded a bit dry. I cherish you all.

Happy 10th birthday SANE forums! 🎉

I don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t come across this community 4 ish years ago.

10 years ago I had just got married and was starting life as a mrs which bought about so many changes for me. Unfortunately married life was so very short lived and that started the steady decline in my mental health. Lots more changes and transitions that I really struggled with. But when 2020 hit us all, my mental health took a swift downward dive and I found myself at my lowest and in crisis.

That’s where I came across the forums. I instantly felt welcomed. @Shaz51 Was the first person to greet me and make me feel welcomed.
I’ve since found my people. They say real life connections are so important, but my online community that I have found here is a vital part of my support community. I always feel heard and understood and it’s an amazing feeling to share a personal struggle and know that others just get it. Mental health struggles are such a dark and lonely road to… im gonna say crawl along, cause gosh that’s what it feels like at times. But this community is so special.

So whoever originally birthed the concept and put in the nerdy manpower to build the forums, I thank you!

Re: Come celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SANE Forums!

i joined SANE 10 years ago, i was at my lowest point, suicidal, no life, no meaning, no future, no hope. SANE has done so much for me, more than anyone here will ever realize the moderators and management at SANE turned my life around and gave my life @meaning and for the first time ever hope.

I have met and became friends with so many beautiful people here @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Bunniekins @tonys @Bill16 @kato @WombatBoots @Crazy_Bug_Lady @CherryBomb @PeppyPatti @NikNik @Mazarita @hiddenite @Shimmer @Queenie @CheerBear @Faith-and-Hope @oceangirl @MDT @TAB @Delicatessen @Sophia1 @Meowmy @Jynx and i know many others i have missed.

i never thought i would ever make it this far, i still struggle lots but i do take time to be thankful for what i have in my life and having such a wonderful forum like SANE when things fall apart.

hugs to all, i am so grateful for SANE thank you to all the people past and present for making it such a special place for me.
