The last night of boards
So, the Mix is going to be closing boards at nights tomorrow, which means that there's going to be no more night time support or community talks at night, which i know is gonna be a big blow to a lot of people. And i know a lot of people are going to be leaving with these changes that come into effect, and for some, it might be there last few days here. It'll also be the last night time on boards tonight.
-
When i first made the venting threads before they got switched into a weekly thread, i used to be on it at nights mostly, along with a few other users, and we ended up getting nicknamed the midnight crew.
-
And so i thought, let's have one final last hurrah, just for tonight, before boards closes at night time's for good. So whatever you want to talk about for tonight, feel free to vent, or chat about whatever stuff you want 😂

Re: Discussion Board Changes
I still don’t get why they need to be switched off as opposed to posts being approved in the morning but I’m wasting my energy continuing to ask.
Why are the boards funny too, why when I go on the home page is it the new layout but on threads etc and whats new it’s the old layout still.
Re: Discussion Board Changes
Absolutely - night time is the loneliest time for lots of people. It’s often that loneliness that leads to a crisis in the first place, not being able to share how their day was, how they feel etc. There was a recent time when coming here to the venting threads before i went to bed was actually one of the only things preventing my mental health from getting much much worse.
Re: Discussion Board Changes
ppl who are in ‘crisis’ will be waiting long hours to try getting to talk to someone from shout. bc they take bloody long to respond to ppl.
-
ppl might come here in ‘crisis’ but they might feel better after posting abt what they’re feeling so taking away the community at ‘night’ is just absolutely ridiculous.

Re: Discussion Board Changes
Tbh though closing spaces at night can reduce the chances of people being safe
Re: Discussion Board Changes
well at least pre-moderation will be quick for the 3 remaining users
Introducing myself
Hey. I go by Ethan [he/they], and I'm 20.
I love writing, art, music (my favourite bands atm are La Dispute, Marilyn Manson and Will Wood and The Tapeworms), gaming (rn i'm mostly playing Dead by Daylight), religion/theology, and my wonderful girlfriend!
I suffer from a personality disorder plus symptoms of cPTSD and suspected (by myself) OCD, and I'm also autistic + ADHD. I decided to join the forums because I'm struggling pretty badly with my mental health right now and I hate feeling alone in that
tw// sh. i feel like im not gd enough.
i feel like im not gd enough for anything. i always try my best at helping ppl even when im not doing so well myself but. ppl always take my support for granted. ( not on here dw ). i will always support ppl no matter what circumstances i am in but. when ppl ask me for help but then wont appreciate my support it rly frustrates me bc i put all my effort into supporting ppl but it just gets unappreciated which makes me feel like a rly shit person bc i obviously aren’t gd at supporting ppl if they aren’t appreciative of it.
-
i am trying my best despite everything that is going on in my life n having to deal with everything on my own it does get rly difficult sometimes bc looking after myself n having to look after my own flat it does get time consuming n sometimes it just feels like what the fuck. n why am i doing this at my age. but i carry on n i try to push through despite everything not feeling like im getting anywhere in my life which sucks.
-
i am 1 month n 3 weeks free from sh which i wanted to add bc despite having lows in my life i also have positives to. bc despite having nobody around me currently who is a supportive person. i have managed to get to 1 month n 3 weeks free from sh which im rly proud of bc thats a huge thing for me.

i hope my mum is proud of me up in heaven bc i feel like i arent making her proud even though i am trying my best to make her proud every day. despite all my challenges i just want her to be proud of me up there.
