Ceelllllll-e-brate good times! A place to celebrate ourselves and eachother :)

This week the Forums celebrated it's 1 year anniversay!

Together as a community we have reached -

- Over 1500 members

- Started 1301 discussions (well 1302 after this post )

- Responded 18,762 times

Above and beyond the numbers, together we have created a place where people feel supported, encouraged and comfortable to share their tough times and achievements.

What a huge achievement!

To mark the occasion, we thought we would start this discussion as a place where you can celebrate other members on their achievements - big or small!

We've had members achieve a variety of things - getting a new jobs, finishing courses and taking steps forward in their mental health. As a group we have supported each other, shown kindness and stood up against adversity.

So here is our new space - a space to celebrate other members for their achievements and give them a big high five!

Well done to all the moderators and behind the scenes creators (i'm sure there are a few!! and technical peoples as well!) who have given so many people such a wonderful place to come and feel supported, safe, cared for and valued! You might never know just how much this place influences people, but for me, it has made the difference between feeling alone in the world and being amongst caring people! Thank you so much!

hugs to the forum!!

I Second that @Former-Member, this forum has saved my life, on several occasions, and i know for a fact @hiddenite would not be here now if it was not for you valued support moderators, all i can say is thank you, i will never be able to pay back all the help and support you have given me since i joined. i look forward to comming on here every day, from the moment i wake until i go to sleep.

Thank you

i would like to celebrate @hiddenite, she has her girls play on tonight, and it is a big thing for her. but she has fought the fear and panic to go to it.

@Former-Member, i suppose we had better celebrate your little ones birthday. you must be such a proud mum, you are so good to your children, going to the library every sunday, your children are going to be highly intelligent adults. the world will be their oyster.

Yep.... I'm third ing what @Former-Member and @Jacques on celebrating the moderators. Thank you !
I've tried working full time for two to three months, can't do anymore though , the big one ....... Made up with my Mum, getting along with my brothers , I feel closer to my darling ex husband.... Who's turning into my husband ...... I've acknowledged I've had my home bullied out of me ........ Basically keep on keep on keeping things in a dialogue, not a monologue.
I've amazingly stuck to fighting keeping the stalker out of my life.
I feel safe and I need a huge amount of support and feel safe asking for it and getting it.

Also .......a bit left field here but loving how kind and positive all is. To ........ Reading @Jacques and @hiddenite messages.

Yes the SANE forums are a wonderful space to share read be more aware of others and share our own lives. Thanks to mods and yes tech support ... and all users and posters.

I am sure there have been many benefits that we are not directly aware of.

Quite a milestone. Well done by the administrators, managers, senior contributers and members. Sorry I have been missing in action for a little while - but I'm back now and looking forward to reading how everyone is going.
