Hey everyone,
If you haven't heard the news yet, The Mix and Mental Health Innovations are merging to become one charity! You can read all about it here.
As part of the merger, we've been working behind the scenes to make sure your data stays safe and that we comply with all the necessary laws and policies. Currently, your data — like your account info, posts, ranks and threads from the discussion boards — is hosted in Canada, since that’s where our tech provider for the discussion boards is based.
With the merger, we need you to opt-in and let us know if you're happy for us to move your data securely from Canada so it's hosted closer to our UK base under UK/EU data laws.
We'll need your help soon!
We'll be sending emails early next week for you to opt-in and give your consent for the transfer of your data. With your consent, we'll be able to transfer your accounts, posts, threads and rankings.
For those who don't opt-in, your posts will be anonymised and your account won't be transferred over.
We have a tight deadline to work towards! We'll need everyone to opt-in by Sunday 15th September.
If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below

Re: Struggling to sleep
@TheNightmare I completely understand how you feel because I am going through the same thing. It really does take a toll on your mental health, and because you are tired you feel moody etc and exhausted.
I think you are right, anxiety does play a role into.
From personal experience, I have tried using lavender pillow spray which does help to calm me a bit.
Therapy could definitely help as well- as most of the time these things are psychological.
I would also advise only using your bed for sleep etc. Keep your room as dark as possible.
Do not use your bed for anything else- because your body cannot establish the difference between sleep and not sleep.
Caffeine is a big thing too- try and limit at least 5 hours before you sleep.
Hope this helps
Thanks a lot for this, good information. Reword appreciate it.

Re: Explore your emotions through journaling
I feel… a failure
Something that helped me before was.... realising it’s true :’) but to remember to not let dad get to me.
To help me today, I need... keep going no matter what. to sleep ( maybe)? 😂😴

Re: Preparing for uni
There’s stuff absolutely everywhere, my mum wants to sort stationery when I’ve got so much to do today, so now I’m trying to do a million things at once, everything is going wrong and I have to get up and move everything around every few minutes because someone wants to walk through the house. I can’t deal with all this, I know it’s just pathetic but I need it all to just stop for a minute
