One year on sane forums

One year on sane forums

Hi forum

I am not going to tag a bunch of people on this because we all have our own threads and follow other ones too. I don't want to crowd people out. I realised yesterday that it has been a whole year since I joined sane forums. I want to say thanks to the mods and members for their contributions and their help. I have noticed that it has always been a great support when I need it. My whole goal in seeking help for my mental illness was so that I could manage it on my own. It might seem counter intuitive but by coming on forums and talking to all of you about my life and experiences, I have been able to manage far better.

Even as I write this I know that we are all people in the real world but this online community has been really good - a retreat more or less.

I have goals and aspirations for the rest of the year, but in the past year I have completed my degree, boosted my physical health, got two casual jobs and also managed to secure a couple of dates. None of that would happen if I didn't have a community to speak with on here.

So whoever is reading this, thank you 🙂

It has been a real priviledge getting to know you over that time @MDT - keep up the great progress and I am sure you will achieve everything you set out to achieve

Re: One year on sane forums

I am glad that the community could help you so much with your self-improvement project. Try to remember though that is was not us who did any of this for you, it was you who made these accomplishments occur. Congrats.

I'm so glad you joine this Forum one year ago @MDT. It is very uplifting for me to read of the progress you have made in so many areas of your life. You have really stepped outside your comfort zone on a number of occassions. It gives me hope.
