Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

Hello Forum Friends! 💛

So, I have been yappin' away with my fellow peer support workers about how many amazing shifts, changes, and adaptations you have all been making throughout your mental health journeys, and we thought it would be wonderful to create a space where you can Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

This can look like acknowledging someone's courage when reaching out, a challenge they have overcome, a creative project they have completed, or even a thank you for the ways that they have supported you on the forums.

Essentially, if you see someone do something that makes you smile - share it! 🤩

Of course, you're more than welcome to let us know if you don't want to participate, as we understand that some people like to celebrate more privately. As always, this is a choose-your-own-adventure activity. ✨

We are very excited to see you celebrate each other (because you deserve it!). 🥰

Re: Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

Hey @AuntGlow, I love this idea 🙂.

I hope it's ok to share this, @avant-garde has helped me recently, the last couple of days my tank has felt empty but having someone to chat to has kept my mind off of other things. I haven't been on here for long but I've felt welcome and accepted and I've enjoyed making connections with people 🩵.

@RebelliousAngel

I've been more active on here because of you, mingling with the community more and less to my own running thread. @Jynx and @rav3n would be proud of me for that.

You've helped me venture out and feel accepted here, not just by peer support workers but by the community.

I would call that a win

Re: Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

i'm looking forward to this space too!!

just thought i'd share some example ways to celebrate each other (in case you're stuck on how to get started):

  • shout out to @insertforumite for making me feel less alone this weekend
  • @insertforumite has been working on their painting, and it looks amazing!

hope this helps with getting started 😊

Re: Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

I am so glad to hear that @avant-garde has been there for you. 😍

It's so grounding to know we can turn to someone we connect with, who can also take our mind off the hard stuff for a moment, isn't it?

Beautiful work Avant. 🥰

I know you haven't been here long @RebelliousAngel, but I can definitely see your positive impact - it seems like @avant-garde equally appreciates your energy and encouragement. Thank you for being you. 💛

@avant-garde this had me all teary reading this. I'm so glad to have made a connection with you and it sounds like it's been great for both of us 🩵.

Thank you for the beautiful words and I'm proud of your for venturing out 🩵.
