For all of us this year has been hell in varying degrees. Not one of us has survived it without it affecting us in some way. So how did we get through it..?

Our friends who we lean on when we're feeling down become ever more important to our sanity, in my case I still breath because of mine and they know because I've told them.

Loosing my son in July changed me forever but friends gravitated to me and held/hold me up when the strength escapes me.

Post anything bellow about your year and how you got through, thank friends and show the love that they've shown to you...

This isn't a sympathy thread but one born out of positivity and love.

I'll post the names of my friends shortly in thanks but let's here from some of yours first... GO!!!

I've worked to keep me occupied, sort of. But I live alone, so I've probably gone a bit mad(der)...

My friend who lives nearby has been essential. We have done socially distanced walks, and U think that's what kept me out of the darkest places

Lovely idea Ace. I'm not keen on naming names but I'd like to think the ones I hold dear will know who they are

I know in my case it definitely has. I only say this to show how deep I've fallen only to be retrieved by friends.

Most will undoubtedly know my son committed suicide through depression. As I still to a degree blame myself there were dark times I thought about joining him, it breaks the rules but thats him 12 months ago as my profile pic.

2 friends saved me in those times and to them I probably owe my life. Princess Peach and NotSoPosh have endured what must have been some of the darkest texts and calls they've ever recieved and to them I'll never be able thank and apologise enough

Anabelle21 your hug on Christmas Day was the best present ever, a new year beckons lol.

Some people are on here have been randomly lovely to me this year in spite of my grumpy miserable forum exterior. I appreciate it much more than they will know.

little house on the praire

I rarely get involved with people on the forums enough to confide in them.

My friends in real life have got me through this along with my mum my partner and my son.

You can't replace the love of your family and close friends. So glad to hear you had a network of support that made the difference

Having lived in Australia for 10yrs I've lost my close friends and family wise there's only my mother really and I couldn't burden her further as it broke her too.

These people gave without knowing me previously in large part and ran towards the fire rather than stand on the sidelines.

On a mooch

Three people got me through this, with a mixture of laughter and tears we helped each other, my son and two dear friends come soul mates who will always be part of my life, along with a few others.

Our lives have changed this year in a way none of us expected, not just covid, however you have to look forward to the future, absorb the positives and try not to dwell on the past.

The whole forum helped me through this year. Well, the forum, Gardeners World (so relaxing) and of course my mum and my kids.

Reading some really funny posts, some heart warming stuff at times and just generally being a distraction when I’ve felt a bit low, has helped to buoy the spirits.

I’d also like to thank those who persistently message me for a chat or to see how I am (when they don’t always receive much back) it is appreciated really.

I hope 2021 is a better year for everyone x

Just one friend, who's not on here.

A few on here start to,then don't try to understand me then leave me. Some ladies lately have given me a boost.

Awe that made me cry..... I’m pleased that a few encouraging words made all the difference at the time.... and here you are now safe and well. Maybe still a little fragile but amongst a community that will reach out to those who need it.

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

I don't make lists. The people I love know. The people I think of as friends on here are too many to list.

And any strangers are just friends I have yet to be friends with.

Every one of the people on this forum has added something to our lives and I'm so blessed to have y'all even on the periphery of my life.

And Ash. Stay strong and just remember

Oh, ThunderBotty!

All I've done is try to be happy and flirty, so that's lovely that you feel that way. You make me smile & I'm so grateful to you and the other lovely people on here that I've connected with this year - you've gotten me through.

It's been a Tough bloody year, as I've been shielding on my own for most of it. You, my fellow forumites have been my virtual friends xxx
