FRIDAY FIVES!
It's baaaaack! So Friday Fives is all about acknowledging our favourite posts of the week and are a weekly high-five to the members who posted them!
Thoughout the week, mods, mod squad and staff have been nominating their fav posts and then I've picked my favourite 5 out of their nominations.
So, this is about thanking YOU, our members and our regulars for creating such a strong community here and acknowledging that it's you who make this place special (and a place that over 13,000 people visit every month for help).
So, thanks!
Hey all! Time for some fabulous Friday Fives after a fortnight off 😛
Our winners are:
@scared01 for providing support to a number of users! We love seeing you so active on the forums
@WheresMySquishy for also chatting and helping those in distress
@PhoneMomma for recognising that loss can go beyond living things
@squiggly for their thoughtful response based on their lived experience with BPD
@SomeoneNADJS for having a bit of fun in the games section!
And that's a wrap! If you see a post deserving of a Friday Five, tell us here! In the meantime, try not to feed anybody to the tigers 😛
Yay, congrats to each of you! So glad to have seen all your greatness in action!
It's Friday folks, and we know what that means... heres 5 fantastic posts from this week ❤
@Eden1717 Giving awesome peer support, even when they're having a really tough time themselves
@JazzInMay Always offering such thoughtful and spot-on support to so many people, in such a caring way!!!!
@Anonymous Providing support that has some many helpful suggestions and just making people feel OK to talk about what's happening!
@Bananatime04 for sharing photos of your puppy with camera filters, these are amazing!!

Just wanted to send a quick reminder to nominate any amazing posts you have seen this week for tomorrows Friday Fives 🙂 Can't wait to celebrate more of our community members tomorrow!
A little late in the evening (but hey, it's still Friday :p). I thought in the current climate, a flowers theme would be nice.
First up is @Saltwaterdreamtime for seeing some positives in the midst of a very tough situation.
@Eden1717 for your compassion and understanding in this post. We particularly liked your line "you don't have to suffer in silence" - it's such an important thing to be reminded of.
@Asche for sharing so much insight into your experience and wisdom advocating for mental health awareness. This was such an empowering conversation to have, and you have really given us food for thought.
@Bananatime04 for this generous response to a user who was struggling with similar issues to them. Letting people know they are not alone is so important, and something you did so well.
And finally a shoutout to @Anonymous, @Janine-RO and @scared01 for sharing some lovely, self compassionate quotes this week!
Have a good week everyone!

Hey guys, just to let you know that we've seen this, and I think you both raise really great points! It's been a pretty hectic few months for a few reasons, and this is a great reminder of how important things like Friday Fives are to the community, thank you so much for bringing it up. I'll bring it up at our next team meeting tomorrow so we can have a look at different ways to get the FFs back on track!
@Bee @drpenguin @ecla34 @WheresMySquishy
@xXLexi_Lou122Xx yeah, I was wondering the same thing! I wonder what's going on
