yep, thanks be for the moderators

can't help wondering if the pre-xmas rush or holidays have claimed other participants

or the sydney thing, that kind of set me rocking back a bit

What do you guys feel like your triumphs for 2014 are?

[BatGuano]

think it was loopy who said ppl posting have the same problems even with diffrnt diagnoses

I finished my ECT treatment.

I got some nice responses to some of the posts that I put on the forum and I think I added something positive to some of them. I hope the forum people get a bit more of an idea of who I am.

Biggest achievement of the year is going from no family to a big family on the Sane forum. Thanks everyone.

[BatGuano]

not exactly triumphant, but more just steady work and progress

also the commonality, the feeling of being in a community

diverse and dispersed, but still together

Good on you for percervering through your ECT treatment @kenny66 Was it a hard to make that decision?

You have added something really special to the forums @kenny66 So generous with what you share, the support you give and the understanding you show.
