Yes, you read correctly, @CherryBomb is leaving SANE in a few weeks.
She's moving on to exciting new adventures and we wish her the best of luck with the next chapter.
Cherrybomb is moderating over the next few nights, and will be around here and there for a couple of weeks after, while she wraps up.
So, feel free to leave your well wishes below.

I'm sorry to hear to that you're struggling with this news.
Please know that my decision to move on was not based on wanting to leave behind beautiful souls like you. I really adore this community and people like yourself, and it saddens me to say goodbye. The reasons why I'm moving on is to focus on study (need to finish my PhD) so I can continue to grow and contribute to the mental health sector.
It's hard saying goodbye after developing connections with awesome people like yourself. But I'm really glad that I was able to share some of your journey with you. I learned a lot through being here, and though I won't be around much, these lessons will last a lifetime no doubt.
I'm going to be around the next three nights, so hopefully we can chat and hang out. Can we have a special Friday Feast? Chocolate only please?

Aww **hugs** @BlueBay
I feel like I'm leaving a family behind. I've got mixed feelings - it's kind of bittersweet feeling
Yes, we've not met, but we've gone through A LOT together, so it's understandable that we feel close.
I hate goodbyes too! I'll be modding until Friday so hopefully we can chat and have a party in the Friday Feast. Hope you can make it.

Oh @CherryBomb this is great for you but really sad for our whole community here. It will be like losing part of the family - and a very, very special part of that family. I do wish you all the very best for both continuing your PhD and in all your future endeavours. You will be very much missed here but I have no doubt that you will go on to achieve great things in your life and make a real difference in the mental health area.
Thankyou for everything you have done for me and for other members here....
