Easter Weekend
Hi everyone,
We're mindful that it is currently Easter weekend, and while not everyone may celebrate this occassion, we recognise it may feel like a tough time for some.
Whatever your circumstances this weekend, whether you're with loved ones or spending time on your own, unemployed or working, taking time off or busy, we're here for you without jugdement.
How are we each taking care of ourselves this weekend? What's one small thing you can do to show up for yourself or others?
For me, its going to be taking a long walk tomorrow evening to go read my book in the park!
With lots of care,
The Mix Community Team

I hate this!!
I fucking hate that my abuse story is basically on the internet for all the world to see in 3 fucking abuse articles
No one understands how painful it is to see all that trauma
No one understands how shit it is with the way article’s describe me and my siblings in it!!

Rant about my intrusive thoughts
So I thought maybe venting about my intrusive thoughts and self destructive behaviour may help a bit, overall will it help me fully? I don't know. But lately I find my intrusive thoughts haven't been helping me at all especially to do with my self destructive behaviour. For example, I will tend to do things that will make me work 10x as harder eventhough I shoulden't do them. Like for instance recently my brain has been wanting me to press the refresh and power off button on my chromebook which turns the laptop off completely and back on again. Today I did this twice and I feel annoyed with myself. I have spoken to my mum about this recently and she said to be careful in case I lose stuff on there. I just hate myself that I do self destructive things all the time, I don't want to do them but I do sometimes and it hurts. I may have done this yesterday. I got so many silly habits recently and maybe thats because of a lack of routine and also the fact that lately I am not in employment so by not being busy my brain I guess rumminates and wants to do things. I don't know.

News about Trans Rights
Hiya folks,
As you may have heard, there have been some changes to the legal definition of what a “woman” is in terms of the Supreme Court (you can read about it here), which has sent ripples across LGBTQ+ communities everywhere, especially for trans people.
We know these sorts of changes can cause major uncertainty and stir up different emotions for different people, even if they are not directly linked to the situation.
We want to give anyone who feels impacted by this news a space to get out whatever feelings or thoughts could have arisen, as they are all completely valid and deserve to be given a dedicated space to be heard.
Let’s remember to be respectful to each other when putting any opinions across and to others' point of view! To read a bit more about what to do in case disagreements come up, you can read our post on it here

Goodbye for now ❤️
Good evening lovely people!
I just wanted to leave a little message to say I’ll be stepping away from the community. It’s not a forever goodbye, just a pause while I focus on some things offline.
Being part of The Mix has meant a lot me. I’m so incredibly grateful for all the support, kindness and seeing you all bring so much light in the community. It’s truly lovely getting to know you all, you’re all incredible people and I wish you nothing by the very best. I don’t know how long I’ll be taking a break for. Thank you to everyone who’s listened, encouraged me, and just being there on my journey so far! It has truly meant the world to me.
I’ll be having my last evening next Tuesday, before I step away. I may come pop by roughly on 29th April and 2nd May, as they’ll be big days for me. For now, I’m sending so much love and care to all of you! Keep looking after yourselves and each other!
Sending my very best,
Lilie
