Hi everyone,
As most of you know, I've been going through a challenging time recently, and the support from this community has been nothing short of amazing. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has left supportive comments, offered advice, or even just sent virtual hugs. Your kindness means more to me than words can express, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. Every reply or virtual hug has been and always will be deeply appreciated.
Navigating this period has been tough, but with your support, I've been able to push through. I see this as just a part of my journey towards achieving my goals, and your encouragement has been invaluable. Some of the messages I've received have even brought tears to my eyes. Any progress I've made is largely thanks to this incredible community, which has been there for me in tough times and will continue to be a part of my journey towards reaching my full potential.
There have been moments when I haven't been my best, but I'm committed to growing and becoming kinder and more understanding. Earlier on, I considered leaving the community, but now I can't imagine being anywhere else. The past few months have shown me just how helpful, amazing, and supportive everyone here is. I've felt safe sharing deeply personal topics because this community fosters such a wonderful, non-judgmental atmosphere—something rare and precious these days.
I know I can be extremely repetitive at times, but I'm glad you all understand that it can be helpful to revisit things. To anyone else who might be struggling, I wish you all the best. I'm so proud to be part of such an incredible community.
Thank you all for being such a positive force in my life.

This means a lot honestly because I often don't recognise my progress or improvements I've been and I focus on the negatives but like you said I have made progress and I really appreciate you recognising it and letting me know about it. Thanks a lot for real.
@Slinky I'm glad you I have come far, it's nice being told this as I won't have known if it wasn't for you all telling me bro. I'm really glad I encouraged you to open up how you feel too mate like I really didn't know I did that. Really appreciate your replies to my threads too.
you are doing amazing we see your progress ❤️
Echoing everyone else too, you are doing so well and we see your progress. Keep pushing through those negative thoughts and be proud of how far you've come this year
Hi @Aoife
Thanks for your supportive message. It’s great to hear that our services are making a difference and that the community is thriving.
I appreciate the encouragement and will keep pushing through. It’s reassuring to know my progress is recognized and valued.
It means a lot to know my progress is noticed. I’ll keep pushing forward with renewed motivation.
keep going
Keep going!!!!!!
@sinead276 really appreciate it all, I won't have noticed any progress myself without you all telling me but also I don't think I won't have made as much pressure without here so I genuinely appreciate it.
We are all so proud of you and how much you have achieved. It is so amazing that you are starting to realise how far you have come, I know this isn't easy when you are in a tough place.
Keep going with your journey and remember to always be kind and gentle to yourself.
@ameliaJayne it's no problem at all. I appreciate everyone here's kind words too. When you say what I have achieved can I ask if there's anything youve noticed I have achieved? But yh, it's sending me a little bit emotional again telling me how proud of me and telling me about my progress like I do struggle to recognise any progress or anything myself.
