What people say after joining Lifted Spirits.

EarlLifted Spirits member

“LIFTED SPIRITS - My now chosen family I was struggling alone with mental health, until one day I came across Ryan’s ‘Lifted Spirits’ server. I can honestly say Ryan and the community within the server have helped me, with advice, someone to talk to when it’s needed the most, but most of all, meeting great and wonderful people. I’m in a much better place, where I now can pass on the help, skills and knowledge to others who have joined. We are a family. Without you and your server Ryan I would not of made the progress I’ve made. I’m grateful for everything you have done for each and every one of us!”

“I have only known ryan since the beginning of August this year and ryan has helped me massively since then. He has helped me with my mental health, my gym work and my general wellbeing. Ryan is someone that if u need help u can go straight to him and he'll listen to you and help you with what ur struggling with. At first I wasn't too sure about it, but over the past few months, me and ryan have got to know each other better and we know how to help each other, he has also helped me to get my happiness back. I just want to say if anyone is struggling with their mental health, heartbreak and anything else and just need someone to talk to, RYANS your guy to go to.”

KalebLifted Spirits member

“Ryan and the community have helped me more than they know. I'm not a very vocal guy anyway but I spent the last few years in a depressive state just going through the motions. I didn't look after myself physically or mentally just bed rotting if I wasn't working. I was not in a good place. By the time I had joined the community I had already kicked myself into getting more physically fit which had a positive effect mentally but joining I was able to socialise with similar people all going through their own stuff and supporting each other. Although I haven't spoken much about my own mental state I know everyone is there if i need them. And that is so reassuring. The quiz nights are so fun and helped get me socialising a bit more and feel more comfortable as I'm quite a socially awkward quiet guy. Being able to train in the gym with Ryan literally meant more to me than I think he will ever know. It was the first time training with anyone and was a huge step out of my comfort zone which was amazing. He really helped me see my progress and was so kind and encouraging. I even got the confidence to train in a vest which I had never done before. I'm really hoping to get more involved in the community and would love to be able to train with Ryan and other people in the future. Thank you so much to everyone. Even if I'm quiet a lot you're all helping me so much.”

“I was at my lowest point in my life and saw a video from Ryan on tiktok with a link to the discord server lifted sprits. I was nervous when I first join the server as I didn't know what to expect but when I did reach out to say how low I felt and what I had attempted to do the community came to my aid and helped me with great affect if it wasn't for Ryan and this community I wouldn't be here now they really did save from my deep dark place. There is always community members that can help no matter what you are going through. I can say pritty much lifted spirits discord server and Ryan saved my life and for that I'm really grateful and appreciate everything Ryan is trying to do to grow the community.”

JarnoLifted Spirits member

“I randomly came across a video from Ryan in a period when I was struggling with my mental health. I wasn't sure about it, but when I got some more videos on my for you page I decided to join the communtiy and at least give it a try. I have some trouble talking to people I don't know and especially in a, for me, foreign language. But everyone was so welcoming and made sure I felt safe and let me grow into the communtiy at my own pace. After some time when I felt comfortable enough, I shared my story with the community. And everyone was so loving, supportive, and tried to help where possible with advices. And also at times when I don't really feel like talking about things going on (as I also struggle with opening up at times) the community helps a lot, with things to keep me distracted like quiz nights, movie nights, the games we play, and just talking and joking in the general chat. Also the feeling of 400+ people having your back when you need them, really helps. When I joined the community there were like 60/70 members and now there are over 400. I'm glad more and more people are finding value in the community and I'm proud of everyone who makes this possible”

BethLifted Spirits member

“I joined Ryan's community back at the end of June 2024, after being in a narcissistic and domestic abuse relationship, and the relationship ending at the end of May 2024. I joined the community to get support and have a safe place to talk about my feelings and what I went through. Since joining the community, I've been supported by those in the community and had a safe place to talk about what was on my mind. I've also been there and supported others in the community where possible, whether that be through heartbreak or their struggles with mental health. Ryan's community on Discord is a safe place for everyone, and a place where I have made new friends, both online and in person. There are meet ups for walks, where you can meet those who you've helped from the community, and further strengthen friendship's you've made along the way. If you're struggling with heartbreak or mental health, then this community is for you!”

MarkLifted Spirits member

“When my relationship came to an end in September 2024 I didn’t see it coming. It threw me off so badly and I couldn’t see a way forward. I came across Ryan on tick-tock and his messages resonated with me so I took a leap of faith and joined the discord. 6 months on I’m a new man after making so many new friends, joining in with the daily chats and also joining in with the meet ups. I’ve made new friendships for life on the discord and they are like family to me. I’ve made a super special connection too and she has saved me countless times. Thank you Ryan for everything and may our friendship grow for years to come 🫶”

LauraLifted Spirits member

“I came across the community on tik tok and it looked like something I'd like to be involved in. Personally I was at a point that I didn't want to join dating sites but still wanted connections with with new people and hoping to go adventures with others. I'll be honest, I was very skeptical at first as this was definitely new to me but turns out to be the friendliest bunch of genuine strangers. From the start of a day, there is always someone to say good morning and ask how you are. If you feel stuck, there are always offers of help or reaching out of support. Joining the VC at the end of the night, genuinely makes me go to bed happy, Something I haven't felt in a very long time. When I reach burnout in my personal life, I usually isolate myself and it can be difficult to talk to friends. The group have taken me under their wing and made me feel welcomed enough to reach out, open up, not judge and lift me back up and have some really good laughs. Then, meet ups!! rocking up on my own and I couldn't have been made to feel like more part of a family from the start. I didn't ever think it would turn out to be a genuine friendship group and a lovely community to be part of. Thank you all of you for being the gorgeous souls that you are and to Ryan for making it all happen ✨ 💜🖤”

JessLifted Spirits member

“I left a 13 year relationship when I found Ryan’s Tik Tok page. I was lost and trying to figure out who I was again as a person. Ryan was very nice, and so I decided to join his server, Lifted Spirits, to talk to others who may have been going through the same experiences as I was. I was nervous at first about opening up to others, but everyone on the server was so welcoming and understanding. I have never met a more wholesome and accepting group of people before. I am very grateful to Ryan for creating this server and keeping a safe space for people like me. They have become my second family and I enjoy every minute I get to spend with them. I am looking forward to being able to help new community members in the future just like they have helped me.”

ShazLifted Spirits member

“Before I joined the lifted community, I came across Ryan’s TikTok page, and I spoke to Ryan for a few weeks on there, he later introduced me to the lifted community. I can't put into words how grateful I am for this community. After leaving a 4 year narcissistic relationship in October 2024 , I wasn't sure how to move forward, but the support and kindness from the community have made an enormous difference in my life. They have helped me feel more confident, positive and more understood, and have given me the strength to face each day. Having people who understand and support without judgment is a gift I can never fully repay. Lifted-Spirit, is where everyone comes together for each other, they are no longer strangers they are a second family to me. Making journals and small daily tasks on the app helped me enormously, and looking back at day one till today shows how much progress I’ve made as it’s all thanks to Ryan and the people in the community. Ryan I can't thank you enough for the emotional support you've given me. Your calls and messages were more than just words, they were a lifeline when I needed it most. Hearing your voice and knowing that someone cared made a huge difference, and it's something I will never forget. Honestly, your kindness changed my life, and I wouldn't be here today without it. Your compassion to me and the community members has been a light in all of our lives, and I feel so fortunate to have you and the community by my side. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything XX🖤”

JessLifted Spirits member

“I was going through a difficult break up and somehow tiktok knew as I saw a video and jumped at the opportunity to join. This community has massively helped me come to a massive realisation of what I can accomplish in my life and to continue to move forward when I just want to give up. I've really struggled from past abuse and trauma, but knowing people are out there to help has changed my way of thinking and helps me come forward and open up. I used to be scared too go out and just shut off from the world as I thought that was keeping me safe but it just put me into a massive spiral and I hit rock bottom and I knew I couldn't continue this behavior, as soon as I saw one of the meets ups I jumped at the opportunity and took a chance something so out the blue for me too do especially solo and am so glad I did ryan and the community made me feel at ease and like I had known them for years, they all made me feel safe and so welcomed am glad I jumped at the opportunity! I really can't thank ryan and the community enough for putting a smile back on my face and a skip in my step 🫶”

SealeyLifted Spirits member

“When my relationship came to and end in February 2025, it felt like my life was over, my mental health took a massive nose dive and I saw no way out but I came across the Lifted Spirit tiktok page and it changed my life completely. Everyone I've spoke to has given me great advice to follow using their similar experiences and it's been a massive help to get me back on track to being the person I was before the relationship. I really couldn't have done it without them and especially without Ryan for creating the group ❤️”

RoxyLifted Spirits member

“I joined this community after seeing some of the videos on TikTok, they really resonated with me and I thought I’d give it a go. Within the first week I was on a meet up, hiking up a mountain something which was completely out of my comfort zone but I’m so glad I did. I was met with the most inviting and welcoming group of people who genuinely cared and supported me. It reminded me that I wasn’t on my own, and that simple acts of kindness can actually go a long way. This community showed up for me, and I’ll never forget that. I’m really grateful for some of the people that I have met through joining this, some of those I speak to every day and class as good friends. It’s honestly such a great feeling to be understood by other people in similar positions and not met with any judgment. Well done Ryan for creating such an amazing safe space for everyone to heal and grow!”

RachaelLifted Spirits member

“I came across the community through Ryan posting on TikTok in November 2024.. I had just come out of an 11 year relationship which should have ended years before and a lifetime of trauma. As much as we butt heads from time to time, Ryan was and continues to be my rock and so does the community he's created! Being apart of the community l'm not alone, l've stepped out of my comfort zone and gone on so many hikes, days out and made so many friends. For the first time in years I'm finally starting to see me again, I'm not feeling as lost as a person. I will forever be grateful to you Ry for being the amazing person you are, the community you've created and the rubbish banter you all send my way 🖤”

AntLifted Spirits member

“I Joined Ryan's server through Tiktok due to heartbreak and my mental health. I felt so lost and couldn't see a way out but Ryan helped me and made me realise im worth more to life then to give up. He told me to join the community and in that community I have made friendships that are like no other. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for coming across Ryan's post on Tiktok. I will be forever grateful for the community and the friends I have made for life that I now call my family. I can't thank Ryan enough for what he has done for me and to help me grow in this community.”

LouissLifted Spirits member

“Started to struggle with my mental health around 20 years old. Developed PTSD which lead to me trying to take my own life a few times. Struggled on a daily basis and thought that I was the only one. Upon recent started to go through ADHD assessment. Prior to becoming apart of LIFTED I never thought I would fit into any group of people. I struggle to make friends and struggle to have long term friendships. I never thought there was a place for me. When I joined the lifted community I have never been so wrong. Connecting with people who felt the same way. Who have been through what I have been through. I have made friends and been able to speak about my past without anyone judging me for it. Everyone just wants to help you progress. I have been able to give advice to other people who are struggling with what I have experienced. All people want from you is to get better in LIFTED. I’m so happy I’ve become part of the family. I’ve done things I’d never thought I’d do such as gaming with people regularly. Going to meet ups and even going to the gym with fellow members. Ryan and everyone has helped more than they will ever know.”

KimLifted Spirits member

“I came across one of Ryan's videos on tiktok when I was struggling mentally. It mentioned about the community that he created and how it was a safe space for people to talk openly and connect through similar experiences. I watched a few of the lifted spirits videos and felt like I needed that support. I struggle with social anxiety so I'm not the most active person on there, I tend to just be in the background and join in every now and again. But I know for a fact whenever I have needed anybody to talk to or even if I just need to vent there is ALWAYS somebody there no matter what time it is and I appreciate everybody on the server for being so friendly and welcoming. This server has helped push me out of my comfort zone, form new friendships and helped me on the way to being myself again. I decided to take the leap and join one of the meet ups which happened to be The Yorkshire Three Peaks. I felt overwhelmed at first and questioned my decision but I stuck it out and I can honestly say I've never felt so supported and I'm so glad I made that decision. I hope to make it to more of the meet ups and to keep opening up and continuing the journey of finding myself again. Thank you Ryan for making this safe space”

“When I joined LS, I was in one of the lowest moments of my life, having just come out of hospital for my mental health. From the very first introduction, I was met with warmth, understanding, and genuine support. Within weeks, I made meaningful friendships, joined check-ins, and took part in events that slowly rebuilt my confidence and sense of belonging. Since becoming part of LS, I haven’t experienced a major mental health crisis, because for the first time, I found a family—a community that accepts me, supports me, and truly cares. LS isn’t just a server; it’s my safe place, my support system, and my home. I am deeply grateful to be part of it.”

AdamLifted Spirits member

“When I joined the server I was going through probably the worst period of my entire life, fresh from an 11 year relationship, was homeless at the time and my mental health was at an all time low, I first saw the server on tiktok where it was described as a safe and supportive space for breakups and also a good place to find people to game with, so I joined and honestly, it's been one of the best decisions I've made in my life From the moment I joined everybody has been so supportive and helpful, not just through my dark times but also through my successes as well, no matter how small. I have never felt judged for any of my issues and have found the weekly mental health check ins to be such an amazing support group that it is now a weekly ritual for me. I was never a person who did public meets or any large group activities due to my insecurities and my social anxiety, however since I have joined I have been to 2 separate meet ups and achieved things socially that I never thought I would be able to Ryan and some of the guys here have also helped me regain my passion for gaming again and hold regular events and streams in the discord. I can honestly say that I have not just found a support group, I've found an amazing community and honestly, I've found a family, I owe everything to Ryan and the group for where I am right now, I couldn't have got here without them”

KerryLifted Spirits member

“Hi, I’m Kerry. I’m a mum to one incredible child who has autism and is truly my world, and I’m also a devoted dog mum. I joined this group a few months ago during a very challenging period in my life, following my separation from my ex after nearly 20 years together. Living with ADHD made that transition especially difficult, and learning how to be alone again was something I really struggled with. Been part of the group became a safe space for me offering support, understanding, and connection when I needed it most. Being part of this community has helped me grow in confidence, strength, and self-belief. It’s given me the chance to heal, learn, and feel less alone. This support group is my way of giving back. I hope it can be a place where others feel seen, supported, and understood, just as I did. You will usually find me playing COD.”

FrankLifted Spirits member

“I joined Lifted Spirits on the 8th December following the end of my marriage. My first active day was a Tuesday, no real expectations of what will happen, thinking it was just a random tiktok add, I joined the weekly check in and found myself talking to strangers, many of whom I now call friends. The community has let me cry, vent and importantly heal. Shared connections of gaming, tv and bananas ive never felt more support and social than I do now, my confidence has grown immensely (which my tiktok proves). Im honored to now share my experience and help support others on the journey, making new friends along the way”

ShelbyLifted Spirits member

“Hi, I’m Shelb and I joined Lifted Spirits at the beginning of December 2025. I joined after recently leaving my violent ex, desperate to make new friends after losing them all due to the relationship. I’ve found the server extremely welcoming and helpful. Everyone is so nice, you get along with everyone! There’s no judgement, and whichever corner you turn, there’s support there waiting for you. I would definitely recommend Lifted Spirits to anyone who’s struggling with mental health, relationships, or simply looking for some support. I’m glad I joined the community when I did; it helped dig me out of the hole I was stuck in! I just wish I found the community sooner!”

EmilyLifted Spirits member

“I joined the community after what felt like a long and very lonely summer. Within a few days I felt so welcomed and like I had finally found a place where I belonged. After a couple of weeks of being in the community I was asked to join the support team. I did find it quite nerve wracking at first, but Ryan and the team eased me in to the role nicely. I am now the support team lead and host the weekly Tuesday Check Ins. I love getting involved in the community and supporting members as much as I can. It has given me something positive to focus on now instead of wasting my all of my free time “doom scrolling”. I have been on 2 meet ups in places I wouldn’t usually have travelled to as I rarely stepped out of my comfort zone and in doing so I have finally gained what I consider to be meaningful and worthwhile friendships, with people that I wouldn’t have ever come to know had I not joined the community.”

JessLifted Spirits member

“The community popped up at the right time. I honestly didn’t know I needed it until I joined. It’s nice to talk freely and openly without being judge/looked down on. Best decision I made!”

RyanLifted Spirits member

“I came across this amazing community, through my mate paulos, has he was friends with bev aka lost zombie and introduced me to here, and then I started to get to know a few people and led on to more people who are amazing and made me feel wanted in life, and never made me feel not wanted or make me feel like i'm someone i'm not, as I have had people in my life who where horrible to me and causing drama and everything but in this community its so welcoming, and everyone helps with what your dealing with in life, and this is what I love, u all make me feel loved and everything and u push me to the person I am today the best I ever been in years and everything, I met the main person ryan last year near Christmas that was amazing, and I cant wait to meet many more in here, i love u all to bits and cant wait for a better future and meets and greets, i'm always here for others and to help aswell, i'm glad I have the opportunity to be part of the engagement team aswell and u never know I could be a mod in future, but ye your all amazing and never in doubt I will never leave this server because I love it here than any other, so to u all out there keep going strong we all got u and keep your head heald high, biglove guys 🫶❤️🖤💚💙💜🫡🫠🙏🏻🫂”

“Lifted Spirits came into my life at the exact moment I needed it most. When I felt lost and unsure of what my future looked like, it gave me hope. It reminded me that even after deep loss, there is still life ahead. Through the support, encouragement, and genuine connections I’ve found, I’ve gained the strength to keep going. I’ve already made some incredible connections, and for the first time in a long time, I’m excited about what the future holds. Lifted Spirits didn’t just help me through my grief — it helped me believe in a new beginning.”

SouthyLifted Spirits member

“So, im southy, always said since day 1 im just a clown, I joined lifted in april 2025 after deciding to change more of my life. Battled with MH since 2018, i was a year into a fitness change and seen tiktoks of walks and thought id get involved as my social anxiety is hard in person but online i find it easy to ‘clown’ around Within a week or 2 i met up with a few members mark and yes his soon tobe wife jess (whos scary) me an mark hit it off well straight away due to his past in driving HGV’s and thats my current job, I then joined the engagement team and was helping welcoming people in. We then hosted a gym meetup where met more people and pushing myself out of my small circle, I am now one of the OPS managers in the server and head of the mod team. We all work well together by putting ideas into place to make this safe space even better for everybody coming in. Not everydays the same, we have good days and bad days but we are a community of people who not only understand each other but are there for each other. One thing i live by is we can rewire our minds just have to find out how. I talk from experence, 2 years into my life change has been a fitness improvement where i have managed to loose 13 stone, If i can do it we can all do it together as a community.”

SiriLifted Spirits member

“I joined lifted may 2025. After seeing a tiktok asking if youve ever been in a narcissistic relationship. I had just left said relationship 2 days prior to joining i had also had a bad year with losing those close to me. Lifted helped me find me again. The me id buried and long forgot about. Ive made some amazing connections with people. Done crazy things I never thought id do. Met some of the amazing humans of lifted in real life that have now become like family to me. Your not going to get on with everyone. Ive found people who will just sit with me when I need it. When I vanished lifted didnt leave it was still there when i came back. Its become my safe space to vent. I have found my fellow crazy people who put up with my loud mouth and sass. But will also sit with me when im quiet. Im now part of 2 teams. Gaming as lifted helped me find my love for gaming again and the social media team as without tiktok I would never have joined lifted. I joined both as I wanted to give back to the community that helped me in so many ways. One thing I will never regret is joining lifted. It is the best thing ive ever come across 🫶”

ConnorLifted Spirits member

“I joined Lifted Spirits in July 2025, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. The team creates such a positive, uplifting environment while still being incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Since joining, I’ve noticed real changes in my confidence, mindset, and overall wellbeing. I’m truly grateful to be part of something so encouraging and inspiring.”

KellyLifted Spirits member

“Joining Lifted Spirits in April 2025, has honestly been such a good move for me. From day one, it just felt like a positive space with real people who genuinely want to see each other win. The community is super supportive and no pressure, just growth and encouragement. I’ve met some amazing people, and feel more confident since being part of it.”
