HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

Following the past threads by our awesome friend @Zoe7

Well what can we say…WHAT A YEAR!!!

I can imagine so many of us here will be happy to see the back of this year!

It certainly has been a year of ups and downs - and struggles but also rewards.

We have had to deal with our own lives as well as the impact of restrictions, ever changing times and all the highs and lows going along with those.

The one constant for many of us has been right here on the forums - so in keeping with our usual support of each other - no matter whether you celebrate the end of the year and look forward to bringing in a brand new year or not -

join us all here today/tonight to say goodbye to 2024

and welcome in the new year 2025 with (hopefully) some fun, laughs, stories, conversation, music, photos (whatever you feel like contributing.

I will start - So often we get stuck on all the negative things so in the spirit of renewal and growth – what is a positive you can take from this year and move forward into the new year with?

For me it is the amazing friendships and support I have right here on the forums

Happy New Year! to all my forum friends and new ones I might make this year...

@Shaz51 @Oaktree @Glisten @PeppyPatti @MJG017 @BPDSurvivor @tyme @rav3n @Ru-bee @Jynx @Healandlove @ArraDreaming @creative_writer and anyone else who might want to get to know me/us!

I'm writing this from my hospital desk...was admitted yesterday. My psychiatrist calls this not an 'admission', but a reset. This is especially true, as eight weeks ago, I was not well enough for admission to an open, private ward. Now I am.

I have been given well-wishes from my colleagues and friends, those close enough to be privy to parts of my struggles.

This image resonates with me at this point in time:

I have made positive changes in the last part of 2024, and now commit to continuing in this positive trajectory.

As I observe and reflect, my romantic and parental relationships contained some toxic aspects, which I have begun to work (chip at) hard to change.

Given that my partner has now ghosted me for 8 weeks, I decided to move on last week.

I moved out of the family home for the third time. I'm not looking back.

2025...here I come!

Happy new year @Spirit_Healer! It sounds like you are really focused on looking forward, and I think that is such a postive way to improve anything. Keep being you and 2025 is looking brighter every day. I'd say good luck but it appears it's just resilience and strength at work here.. It never hurts to have a bit though so 'good luck' to you.

@Spirit_Healer I hope the new year is going well for you so far. Admissions can indeed be a good reset, sending you lots of love and hugs. I do hope you find the admission to be healing 💖. It does sound like you’ve come so far

Thank you, @creative_writer @Shaz51 @MJG017 for your support!

It's been a lovely New Year's Day here, with lots of sunshine and not too hot, too.

We had a Yoga and Sound therapy teacher run our groups this morning, she brought childrens' bubbles and wands for us to learn to focus on our breathing, and then taught us some 'cooling breaths' from yoga (Praniyama breathing) as well. It was really good. I'm glad there was a staff member to run groups on the public holiday.

@Spirit_Healer sounds like a wholesome day. It is amazing that they have group sessions on a public holiday. Yoga and engaging in activities with did as a kid can be soothing for the mind. Engaging in activities from our childhood brings back nostalgia
