Hi @Ellu, 

I thought your post on valuing yourself was really positive. I must admit I cringed a bit because I struggle with this but I know how important it is to find the positives in ourselves. I still have a long way to go with this and it is a good thing to be reminded of it. I also wanted to say welcome to the community and it is really lovely to read your very supportive posts around the place. Best wishes 💜🤗

Dear Teej

Thank you for your comments. I am relatively new to the forums, and I am a bit different because I come from a background where I am bi-polar and had my first episode at the age of 15 (I am 63 now). So I have been living with mental illness for 47 years... my heart bleeds whan I read some of the posts from people going through a really bad time, and I want to try to help. No, I am not a health professional, but I do have a fair amount of lived experience to draw on. I hope I can make some friends here and enjoy the mutual support given by people in these forums.

Hi everyone!

Tonight I want to celebrate @Former-Member!

@Former-Member, thank you for being such a welcoming, supportive presence around the Forums lately!

I was particularly impressed by your acknowledgement of @Getting2's brave steps along a rough road here - I especially liked the way you understood the painful experience of self-loathing and encouraged him to be gentle with himself.

Thank you @Former-Member
