A goodbye from me

Hi guys,
So this is a tough one to write, but I’ve been asked if I’ll do a thread so people can wish me goodbye properly. I’ve been with the community when I was homeless, the mix saw me through that and my mental health struggles, difficult times and then my nursing journey.
As many of you may know I am now a qualified psychiatric nurse and will be starting my job as a CPN in a week. Now is the time for me to spread my wings and take all the knowledge and support that I’ve been given with me. Hopefully I can be that supportive person to others.
Everyone from the mods to the community team and you amazing community members have been a huge part of my life and I will be forever greatful to have had this place and be part of the family. So while it is time to say goodbye, I will take you guys with me in my heart and won’t ever forget The Mix.
Lots of love
Jelly

Congratulations and good luck, and we’re still here if you ever want to pop back in
Saying goodbye to you feels so difficult. You were one of the first people to welcome me on The Mix and I’m sure it would’ve taken me so much longer to settle in if it wasn’t for you. Thank you for always being kind to me and for always checking in to see how I’m feeling, it never went unnoticed and I’m feeling very grateful💙
Good luck with everything you decide to do and whenever things get tough and maybe you’re feeling a little anxious remember that you are capable of doing anything . I do really believe that you are.
Real proud of ya Jelly and I’ll miss you 💙
We know you'll be absolutely fabulous as a CPN - you are so kind, caring and supportive and we know you'll flourish in that role. Best of luck with everything and sending you lots of hugs! Take good care of yourself you wonderful human
All the best for ur new adventure,

Take care and enjoy every minute of this new chapter in your life, you’ve worked so hard and should be incredibly proud of yourself.

You’ll be very missed here but I know you’ll be giving lots of other people your immense empathy and wisdom, and helping them through their toughest times. Wishing you the very best, you’ve got this, you absolute star
It sounds like you have found a role that is perfect for the person you are. I am sure your words of wisdom and kindness will touch many.
Best of luck
You deserve so much happiness in your life! I will never forget you Jelly💛
As a moderator I've always appreciated the times where you were a voice of reason in a difficult or chaotic situation, and your ability to genuinely connect with people and somehow say exactly the thing they need to hear. You've also been a wonderful person for our more junior members to look up to, and it's nice to see you taking the talents you have for leadership and emotional support and building a worthwhile career with them (you'll make a great CPN!)
We'll be cheering for you. If you do fall into hard times, trust that you're able to move through them and rebuild once the dust settles. You've shown that so many times.
