Re: September achievements, with a theme of perseverance!
@toffuna101, very well done! It's great that you donated to Mind, I'm sure that they appreciate your contribution greatly 
I'm really happy that you acknowledged that you needed support and that you've reached out to Samaritans as a result of this - this definitely wasn't easy to do, I really hope you get the support you need 
and best of luck with sixth form and your job applications! 
And listening to music is such a great way to get past the difficult days - what kind of music do you like to listen to?
@Amy22, I'm really proud of you, you're doing so well! Honestly the process for finding a job is so difficult - I've been rejected plenty of times as well. Allow yourself to feel disappointed, what's important is that you pick yourself back up again, and this is what you're doing which is amazing! I'm sure you'll end up getting a job eventually with your perseverance how has it been at your local neurodiversity hub? And puzzles are really cool, I personally like playing sudoku! What kind of puzzles did your friend introduce to you?

Re: Mix pin badges (Just an idea!)
This is a lovely idea! I can see these being such lovely pins and also a great way to help other people learn about The Mix!
We'll share this with the marketing team at The Mix and see if they might be able to bring your idea to life
