tw sh/scars rant. im so angry :(
if sh/scars mention trigger you pls dont read. just a rant abt how i feel bc it rly upset me.
just went and got my nails done and I had a short sleeved top on bc it was rly hot but some woman decided to think it was ok to say i shouldn’t wear a short sleeved top bc my scars are rly noticeable apparently and bc apparently no one wants to see that. i just had a massive cry bc it rly got to me bc ive been through shit and she had no right to say that. it rly bothered me 
. i dont feel comfortable now wearing short sleeved tops . im allowed to wear whatever i want and i shouldn’t have to hide my scars bc of some ppl who have no respect. im so angry 
its so disrespectful to point it out either in front of many ppl. i felt so embarrassed .

Goodbye (turning 26)
I just checked in to find out how long I have before my account is closed and it turns out it’s today… I knew this was coming and I thought I’d come to terms with it but I’m honestly crying right now. I don’t know what will happen to my posts (the default is they stay up with my username attached right? I’ve requested this but don’t know if my message will be seen in time) and I feel like I’m losing so much even though I haven’t actually posted that much.
Anyway… just wanted to say bye and thank you for everything, to everyone who’s ever sent a kind comment or message especially. I probably won’t have time to go back and read them again now (or at least they’ll be hard to find) but I promise they really did mean so much and helped me a lot. I’ll miss all of you.
Bye

I'm so horrible
I'm just not okay right now. I am just such a terrible person. I now know why things keep going wrong, everything is going wrong because I deserve punishment.
I deserve all this pain.
I deserve all this pain.
Re: Newbies Corner!
I am kind of hoping to maybe get some support, I am just really having a hard time and wanted a safe place to come to.
I am proud of myself for going out on my own

Hello I'm new here
Hello everyone
This place was recommended to me by a close friend. I am a bit nervous as I haven't opened up about anything before.
Here is a bit of an introduction about me
I am working towards becoming a nurse, I have some conditions but don't feel like mentioning them as I know a lot of people are quick to judge based of someone having conditions.
I collect crystals, rocks, and minerals.
Thats all I can think of that is not boring to share.

Protecting your peace
I don't know about you but sometimes I can fall into the habit of 'doomscrolling' on my phone especially before bed! I'll just sit on tiktok watching so many videos but what if I come across content that makes me feel rubbish?
It's so important to protect our peace and take control over what we see on social media. So if you want some tips on how to create a feed that feels more you and makes you feel good, then we've just posted some top tips on our Instagram

Note: If you’re interacting with The Mix on social media, a good general rule to keep yourself safe is to keep your profile private, avoid sharing personal information and anything that could identify you.

Mine would be:
- Unfollowing people who I no longer relate to or agree with their views
- Prioritising self-care (at the moment I'm choosing reading over scrolling on my phone)
- Following people who make me feel inspired or empowered
- Seeking out positive news (like our Good News Friday posts!)

(Suicidal thoughts but no plan) I feel dead inside
I know that sounds like an edgy title a 13 year old would write lol. But I just feel so low to a point where it feels as if something has died inside of me.
I don’t enjoy being alive at the moment, and although I’m able to keep myself safe (currently I’m at the gym and will head to bed straight after my session) I just really want to die because I feel it’s my only escape.
Life just feels so dull, especially at work, working around mostly miserable assholes. Even worse working in a restaurant that is known to be the worse in town to the point where franchise advisors were writing fake good reviews and wouldn’t allow us to have an air-con because we underachieved our goals lol. If I was able to get a new job where I get along with my coworkers, I wouldn’t be so damn depressed

its okay. ( keep going ❤️)
its okay if life scares you right now and you don't rly know what to do next. its okay if everything seems to be hurting and all you feel is anxious and worried. and it's okay if you feel hopeless abt everything. its okay. it's okay. all these feelings have value and you don't have to pretend like they don't hurt you. our greatest strength lies in our ability to acknowledge our pain things that hurt us.
remember — everything you are going through is temporary none of them are here to stay. but when they leave you they will leave you as a person stronger than ever before. so let yourself feel all that you need to feel. do whatever you feel necessary for you to heal yourself. its okay if it takes time. its okay if none of it makes sense right now. keep going never give up bc you’re doing amazingly. you’re all so strong and deserving of a gd enjoyful life.
