Quote of the month:
โthat's exactly what brought me here to this online community - to find connection and share similar lived experiencesโ โ @Strivetothrive here.
โYou're not alone in how you're feeling and I hope you can move forward and able to function better too and improve your quality of life. โ โ @oceangirl here.
โYou will find so many people here with similar stories and life journeys. Whilst we are all different and have our own unique experiences, it is certainly a place where we all have our own stories to tell and our own experiences to deal with - so you will not only be believed but supported by people that get it and can empathise.โ โ @Zoe7 here.
Tagging those who supported last monthโs wrap to receive a notification:
@Judi9877 @26aqua @Peri @Determined @Shaz51 @Bow @Snowie @Former-Member @Emelia8 @Mazarita
