Hey everyone,
New Years can be a really difficult time of year for lots of people for many reasons. I thought it would be nice to have a thread for anyone to share their advice to help those who find this time of year difficult.
If you have a supportive message to share to help those who find this time of year difficult, post it below

Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

It's just another Saturday, just another weekend like any other. We've made it through another 365 days that for some of us, we didn't think we would - that's amazing! It's something that I hope you can all feel so proud about, because we are all so proud of you!
Sunday is just another day. The day that comes after Saturday. It doesn't have to be a fresh start or the beginning of something amazing. It can just be another day
You've got this, and we can take it 1 day at a time until suddenly we find it's the end of 2023 and you've made it through another 365 days
I agree with @Past User, as new years is only a day and then afterwards will be a new start. Let 2023 be a new start for everyone to start again and also to enjoy. I'd say going into 2023 my advice would be to look after yourselves and prioritise time for yourself. I know that there is a stigma about looking after ourselves but it's just as important to check in on ourselves just it is as with others or loved ones. It is okay to not be okay going into 2023 as storms will eventually pass over time. Let 2023 be fresh and exciting. Let it bring you happiness and joy. Explore with passion and love. May it be filled with love and happiness for all.
Sending hugs,

What is important is that we try and protect our mental well-being the best we can - and this will look different for different people. But I know you will get through it and hopefully, 2023 turns out to be an amazing year for you all, full of happiness, love and wonderful new experiences and adventures.
Sending new years hugs to everyone, whether you choose to celebrate it or not

But I think this was expressed better by Dr Seuss:
"You’ll never get bored when you try something new. There’s really no limit to what you can do."
Some people decide to start the new year with resolutions, and some people don't. Either are completely okay - your mental wellbeing is what's important. For those who have resolutions, I wish you good luck with achieving them! If you find that you haven't been able to achieve them, please don't fret - what matters is that you've tried your best! For those who don't have resolutions, I hope you get your ideal experience wherever the wind takes you.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 2023, with happiness and awesome adventures
