Re: A guide to ARFID - Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder 💛
@Amy22 @AnonymousToe - you're both so right that there is definitely more awareness needed in this area. I've also seen quite a few posts about it on Instagram & TikTok lately so it's positive that the awareness is building.
@AnonymousToe - has your sister been able to reach out for any support with it?
@lunarcat522 - thank you so much for sharing what you're going through with us and I'm glad that you feel this post will be helpful in educating people on the topic. That was our aim! It sounds so tough to be having that difficult relationship with food at the moment. Had you heard of Beat's Hummingbird online support group before? It might be worth checking this out as a way to talk to others who are experiencing the same things. You're deserving of that support.

Re: I did it again TW: kinks
Thank you so much @lunarcat522 I am slowly starting to feel better and I think really I may have been overthinking a lot recently.
Over thinking is normal

When will the bruise go away?
A few days ago, my uncle had my keys. I asked for them back twice, then I asked a 3rd time, and he punched my hand, which nearly hit my chest. However, I put my hand there to protect it, so he landed on my hand. He did apologize straight after doing it. Basically, I did something that annoyed him, and he wouldn't give my keys, which I asked for a few times. He kept telling me to "fuck off," then he threw hands. It happened a few days ago, my hand isn't hurting or anything, but I noticed, and other people have noticed a bruise on my finger. I don't know if it's from what happened or not. I only just noticed the bruise on my finger. I was checking my car tires before, and my uncle thought maybe I had dirt from the wheels, but it's clearly not dirt on my finger; it's a bruise. I just want the bruise to go away, but I don't know when it will. I'm not sure if it is from what happened or from something else, but either way, I just want the bruise to go.
Name a kitten!
Hey Everyone!
For those who don't know me, I'm Talie or Italia - but you can call me Talie. I work here at The Mix alongside the community team.
Exciting news, I'm picking up a wee kitten today!
I'd love the community to help name her
I know lots of you have pets and they have some great names, so I thought you'd be perfect to pick a name for this cutie, who doesn't love a bit of kitten content?
How it will work
1. We have until the end of Friday 3rd of May to suggest names in the thread below.
2. On Saturday I'll create a poll with some of our favs for you to vote on - and by Tuesday hopefully, we'll have a name.
3. If you like a name someone else has suggested, give it a like and we'll consider that when putting the final list together.
Guidelines
I read an article that said that animals recognise names that end in a vowel sound more easily, so the only guideline is that the name needs to end in a vowel sound (not necessarily a vowel letter, but a vowel sound)
e.g. the name Kate - ends in a vowel but sounds like a T - so that wouldn't be ideal.
About the kitten
This kitten is a female, black and white, long-haired, and I hope she'll be good at hunting mice. She seems playful and sweet, and based on her parents, I think she might grow to be quite big.
Here is the first picture and I'll put more photos in the thread over the next few days once I've picked her up and she's settled in.
Thank you so much
Have fun!

Re: Revision Body Doubling Sessions! 📚
I don't think my school are doing study leave :') when would these be (as in rough dates?) If there's any throughout the time I have may half term I'd probably use them but if it's while I'm at school I cant
Yeah I did my A levels last year and we didn’t have study leave, I don’t even know if it’s a thing anymore 😂
