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

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!

Yay @Maggie! So deserved! Your posts are always so warm, kind and caring!

And another big yay and so well deserved @soul! I especially love your seemingly never ending supply of funny memes and pics lately!

Thank you so much, my friends. I found this Forum during a time of need and it has provided me with such a safe and loving environment in which I can vent and pour out my heart. It has helped me in ways I can't even begin to explain especially during times when I was so close to the edge.

To be able to give a little back has been a privilege. I would so love to sit down in a beautiful park on a lovely sunny day and have a picnic with you all.

Brilliant choices @NikNik.
Congratulations to @Maggie and @soul! Only those who have experienced very similar or virtually the same conditions can truly understand and provide support that really helps. You both truly deserve this recognition. Hugzzz.

Tonight I want to celebrate @TheVorticon !!

TheVorticon - you seem to be cruising around on your skateboard (like this cool pup above ) providing really empathetic support and making people feel heard. Whether it be a simple 'thinking of you' in 'Riding the a wave' or sharing your own experiences to benefit others, like in 'Lacking motivation', you help people feel less alone.

Your contributions and kindness are so valuable to this community!

Great choice @NikNik

@TheVorticon you 'pop' up every now and then like a Pokemon out of your games - and just like some of those hard-to-find 'characters' you are a treasure when you emerge. Very well deserved TheVortican - wouldn't be the same on here without you
