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!

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!

 

If you see a post you think deserves a Friday Five, nominate it here!

High fives to @Anonymous for your response to Hozzles here! In particular these couple of sentence: "Try and be kind to yourself ♥️ it's ok for this to be a time where you just focus on getting through it and looking after yourself, one step at a time. And you're definitely not alone in how you're feeling."

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! 

 

Image result for you're awesome

Maybe some of the community could do the FRIDAY fives sometimes? It might make the balance on the forums a little bit better... But it's just a suggestion, no need to put it into action if it's not possible! 🙂

Hey guys!

What happened to the Friday Fives? 🙂

We’ve missed quite a few now, so I was wondering if anyone has been nominated yet, or if no one has had the chance to post them yet?

Missing the good vibes here. 🙂
