Quote of the month: 

 

“Give yourself the time you need to go on the journey of wellness. You can be happy again. Keep on the track that you are on, and also welcome. This is a very friendly and supportive community” - @powderfinger.  

“You will find lots of lovely, supportive folk on here and several with similar stories /,experiences to yours. Have a look around the different threads and you’ll find social ones that are a bit more lighthearted as well as more serious ones.” - Eve7  

As our forums community grows, we continued to be amazed by the support and care we see on the forums. Thank you all of you for making the SANE Forums community a welcoming and safe space for all to come and share their various experiences ✨

@Former-Member 

Hi, I love reading the monthly wrap. It's awesome. We have so many amazing members that do do much for this online community. I also love hearing about the live online topics. I keep forgetting that they happen. I'll try make it to one soon. 

Thanks for highlighting the appreciation for all of us. I often feel I'm not giving back as much as I'm getting. It's lovely to know these things. 

Thanks for a great January wrap.

don't know how i missed this - i guess i wasn't tagged.  

it's so hard to keep up with everything lately.  need to press 'support' for just about everything these days - otherwise you miss things
