Tonight's My Last Night!
So I've been going back and forth about whether I should make a big deal of this, but in the end I really wanted to say a couple things, so here I am:
Tonight is my last shift moderating ReachOut. I'm moving on to a new job and unfortunately that means I don't get to be your mod anymore (I did ask, but my manager was like.....no. That is not how this works )
I wanted to just post a little note to say thank you for the past few months.
I've not only had an amazing time being your evening mod, I've actually learned so much, professionally and personally. The amount of wisdom and strength this community has leaves me awestruck every single day. As part of my job I have to monitor several different sites and communities, and it is no joke when I say that you guys are the highlight of my shift. You always make me laugh and always make me think.
You have all built the most amazing community here, so thank you so much for welcoming me into it and letting me mess about here for a few months.
You guys are the best.

@Kaz-RO I only just saw this thread now! I just want to say a massive thank you for everything that you've done for RO - you've had such a positive impact on our little community. I've learned so much from reading your posts, which I'll take with me to improve as a Mod (and future metal health professional).
Good luck with your new role, and thanks again!
@Kaz-RO I am so sad that you're going while at the same time I am so grateful for the little bit of time that we got with you! You shared so much of yourself with us and the lessons you've learned. That knowledge is now in all our heads and because of that; so is a little bit of the great Kaz-RO. Gonna miss you HEAPS.
Thanks guys @lokifish, @N1ghtW1ng and @j95.
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I actually live with PTSD myself - in fact, at this point I'm very much 'recovered', and I live a great life with a full time job I love, great relationships, hobbies and study. A lot of the stuff I tell you about is stuff I've learned in my own recovery, or from friends and family members in their recovery. So basically I'm saying that I'm cheating when I tell you about stuff
Getting to come here and work with you guys has been an awesome chance to spread my wings a little now that I'm in such a good place in my own life - you guys all know from being here how healing and amazing it can be to chat with others about this stuff! So I'm extra grateful to all of you for that.
@Kaz-RO We'll miss you!! I'm so glad you got to work here for a while at least 🙂 Good luck with your new job!
