Happy 10th birthday SANE forums! 🎉

I don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t come across this community 4 ish years ago. 

10 years ago I had just got married and was starting life as a mrs which bought about so many changes for me. Unfortunately married life was so very short lived and that started the steady decline in my mental health. Lots more changes and transitions that I really struggled with. But when 2020 hit us all, my mental health took a swift downward dive and I found myself at my lowest and in crisis. 

That’s where I came across the forums. I instantly felt welcomed. @Shaz51  Was the first person to greet me and make me feel welcomed. 
I’ve since found my people. They say real life connections are so important, but my online community that I have found here is a vital part of my support community. I always feel heard and understood and it’s an amazing feeling to share a personal struggle and know that others just get it. Mental health struggles are such a dark and lonely road to… im gonna say crawl along, cause gosh that’s what it feels like at times. But this community is so special.

So whoever originally birthed the concept and put in the nerdy manpower to build the forums, I thank you!
