When will people fucking realise that life doesn't fucking change. Life doesn't get "better" and it never fucking will so why do people even say that shit, there no point in saying the lies just to get people to stay alive. It doesnt help no one. Why cant people see that, why cant people see that most shit they say is fucking bullshit. People leave, they always will. They rock up one day and act like they care and that they are there for you and then the very next day they up and leave like they never gave a fuck about you. They see how complicated and sensitive you are and then decide that they can't be bothered dealing with you. No ones stayed in my life for even a year and I doubt anyone even will. People are so fucking fake like no one gets the fact that I give people a chance like they fucking deserve but everyone turns into backstabbing idiots that soon treat me like crap. Im so done with people. I cant deal with it. Clearly people that pretend to not be fake are gonna turn it so why should I bother anymore, it just makes me re question who is and who isn't fake and a lier. Im tried of people always proving that im better off by myself, its always "ill never leave" and they might not but they sure make me want to leave. I've reached that point where I wanna just fucking cut people off and disappear because it sure feels better than to be made feel crap all the time. I know im hard to deal with and people have to put up with me but fucking hell can people not just cut me some slack for once and make like actually feel bearable and worth living because at the fucking moment all I wanna do is vanish forever. Ive reached breaking point and I dont even know what to fucking do about it other than just live with suicidal thoughts and urges until I have the gut to actually do it.

Hey!

I'm Callum and am so happy to be a part of the wonderful Mix community. I'm so glad that there are support systems like this available to everyone in this crazy world. I have personally been through so much already just as a teenager and really want to connect with others and help those that need a gentle hug (we all need it from time to time). I am kind and a great listener and have always been told that I would make a great counsellor/therapist

. I know how hard life can get, trust me, I've been there, and I really want to help others and show young people that we are not alone, and that we have each other's backs no matter what.
I enjoy dance, music, yoga, baking, being kind and helping others

I have also been diagnosed with Autism, so know exactly what it's like to live with neurodivergence.

A new path

Hi everyone! I am Terry, who has been a Discussion Board Moderator on The Mix for nine months (Time really flies)! I will leave this role because of personal career path.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at The Mix and am grateful for the wonderful experiences here. I have learned a great deal and worked with amazing people who are so supportive and helpful.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the support, guidance and encouragement I have received during my tenure here. I have truly valued my time at The Mix and will always cherish the relationships and experiences I have gained. I wish The Mix would continue to support more people!

Autism

I feel like I am not normal and worried that I will struggle to function as I move on from school. I am currently in year 13 in sixth form and I have been making decisions on what to do after I leave school. It seems as though some people think me being in sixth form has been a burden on the teachers which I guess is true as I have additional needs compared to my classmates so it can take up a lot of time. One of the worst things is sensory overload as I don't seem to be able to control it and people can be very judgemental about it or don't understand so they think that I am being difficult or attention seeking.

Leaving The Mix for good

Hello, just giving everyone a quick heads up. I'm leaving The Mix so if you do see my account and posts dissappear, that's why. I didn't want to leave without saying anything as I didn't want to worry anyone. I promise I'm all good, I just need to realign and refocus myself.

I wish you all the best ❤️

Re: October achievements!

Happy November everyone!!!

For me I'd say getting through the first proper month back at uni in one piece and having a rather productive month (although I will admit I'm tired with all my assignments).

No matter how big or small you're October achievements are, you should all be super proud of what you have accomplished

Sending lots of hugs
