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

Re: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

@Spirit_Healer thank you for your message,

I'm sorry to hear about your hospitalization, even though I understand your psychiatrist's perspective on it as a 'reset.'

It sounds like you've been through a lot, and I truly admire your strength in acknowledging the challenges and taking steps towards positive change.

My ex husband is in hospital as well. His stress was a bit that it was the stress of Christmas Day and end of the year.


Leaving toxic relationships, even when incredibly difficult, is a courageous act of self-love. It's wonderful that you can deal with it at your age. I speak from self recovery myself. I'm proud of you for prioritizing your well-being and moving forward.


Wishing you a peaceful and healing stay at the hospital. Focus on your recovery, and know that better days are ahead.


Please stay in touch 🌹

Pause my New Year. My New Year starts after my settlement court case 24 January 25.

When it is all wrapped up, I will come back to this thread and wish everyone a happy new year 🥳

Re: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

Hi @Former-Member and @avant-garde . Pleased to meet you.
My life experience has taught me that some days are just for breathing through ….. and that’s okay.

Things change, with time and with effort. What can seem like treading water can be waiting out a change, and we don’t always know that is what is happening.
Keep swimming, and float when you’re too tired to swim. Wait for life changes and see what the new currents bring.

Best wishes for the 2025 tides. You’re not in them alone.

I’m glad you found the forums ❣️

@Faith-and-Hope hi and nice to meet you too. I've made it to the new year although I almost didn't. Hospitals are no fun and I'm struggling. Thankyou for your kind words. At the moment breathing (all be it very hard) and just trying to take each moment as it comes is all i can do and even that feels like too much sometimes.

I hope your year is amazing.

I'm very thankful to have this community support.

Thankyou for the tag @Judi9877

I agree on. @Shaz51 @Shaz51 you are a brain on remembering people's birthdays and new people .....

I agree with you doing hand crossthreading but I'm hand sewing dogs which iv stopped after doing 8 - iv got 8 more to do before they are going on a quilt.
