Hey everyone,
Here's our July Post of the Month nominations
What is Post of the Month?
For those of you who aren't familiar with Post of the Month, each month you can nominate threads and replies you've seen on the boards. We then put up a poll and the reply with the most votes wins Post of the Month.
1. @Jellyelephant's thread 'Past User
It's great to hear you have found someone you really like and who is supportive with your mental health
Long distance can be challenging but it can work - my brother and his girlfriend were long distance for 2 years (UK and US) and she is moving here this month
I think Shaunie gave some great advice and things to think about. I know my brother used to note down good things that happened to him in the day, so that he could look forward to telling his girlfriend all about it in the evening. It's always nice to have something to look forward to
In terms of tips, The Mix has a really great video about long distance relationships https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=42&v=DxdQbHlHTzQ.
Take care
You can vote below and remember to keep an eye out for posts to nominate this month. You can nominate a post by flagging it, selecting Report, and then choosing 'Post of the Month nomination' as the reason.

It's really kind that you like my post, it honestly means a lot as I made them to hopefully help people!
Everyone's posts are brilliant, and good luck to the winner!
But as you said, everyone's posts are amazing, and special in its own way!
So good luck to the winner! You all deserve it! I wish there could be more than one! But if you don't win, there's always a next time, and it doesn't mean your post isn't good, because you were nominated, which means someone/or some people have really liked your post! And so the other two who didn't win, equally came second! Which is something you should be really proud of! As not ALL posts are on here
Take care! And good luck to you all!
