Short Sads
Hey everyone!
I reckon we are so good at supporting each other and this section of the forum is an absolute testament to that. A place where a lot of people reach out for help for the very first time ever and it's pretty awesome to see how great you all are at supporting people through that.
Life isn't just full of big new tough things though. Things don't just get better as soon as we start out on our path to recovery, it's called a path for a reason, there's many steps! And sometimes we can stumble a bit and you know what, that's okay :).
A couple of weeks ago I made a thread to celebrate our achievements together. And @tsnyder made an awesome one for us to talk about the new things we're exploring in the world too!
This thread is kind of like the dark side of those threads - but it has a silver lining!
This is a place to let us know about something tough that you're going through and -this is the important bit- for us to support each other through those tough bits, to remember how to turn negatives into positives and to work on finding solutions together.
If you're feeling like you're stumbling a little or like you might fall, i want you to come here to let us know about it and to draw on the AMAZING support you folks give each other.
So post here with the smallest fear or what feels like the greatest failure and we will support you with everything we've got!
It'll probably look like this:
It's all good @j95 there isn't really a wrong or right way for starters, we just found a way that is healthier for us than the old way, that's all. It takes practice to learn a new way of doing anything, and making new threads instead of using group threads is a pretty big leap for us, so it'll take some practice, and that's okay :). We can all support each other to do it too by making threads for each other when it's too hard to make one ourselves and i kinda like that 🙂
Hey crew, I am thinking of freezing Short Sads.
It seems like we're getting the hang of making new threads for tough times issues but I'm worried that as new members come on they might not realise that we've decided to work through things in a different way. So if we freeze short sads then it helps people get into the habit of making threads from the get go. What do y'all reckon?
I'm dont normally get it off, but sneaky sneaky, I asked for it off months ago and I don't think my boss realised it was my birthday @Bree-RO
Well I'm going to see my old carer, not sure if she remembers that it was my birthday because I mentioned it last time or just wanted to catch up with me again, then I'm going out with friends for dinner to our fave rib place, my partner promised me she'd get me an icecream cake because I have never had one, I'm not 10 but they seem pretty cool
Happy birthday @j95!
Hope you enjoy the ice-cream cake. They taste delicious and are 100% suitable for all ages! 
Hey @j95 for sure.. I think it's okay to miss your Mum, I feel the same way on my B Day sometimes about my Ma too. Do you get the day off for your Birthday, what do you think you'll get up to 🙂 ?
You reckon it's self care or sleep time?
