Re: Shit person, shit night, ruin everything
Hey @Chloe234 you have nothing to apologise for 
You're going through a lot right now and I can hear how much you're struggling. I'm sorry last night didn't work out as planned but I promise you didn't ruin the space or anything like that. Please do sign up for next week whilst there's still places Chloe - you deserve support
Nobody at all is expecting you to be up-beat. This is incredibly hard to do when you're going through so much and have so much weighing heavy on your shoulders. We're so glad you're here with us in our community and we want to be able to support you. Please do keep reaching out and using our services. It's okay to not be okay. We've got you.
I'm sending you so many hugs I hope you're able to be gentle with yourself Chloe.

Re: Shit person, shit night, ruin everything
hey @Chloe234 - like the others have said, you are absoloutely NOT a shit person. you are so amazing and such an important person both here on The Mix and in the world too. it's perfectly okay to not feel upbeat as perhaps you once have - in life i think we all go through the ups and downs and sometimes downs might last a bit longer than we would like. but I just wanted to say you are such an amazing person and we are lucky to have you here with us, even if you aren't feeling amazing in yourself right now.
sending lots of hugs

Re: 11/12/24- Christmas Support Thread
@eylah I'm really hearing how resilient you've needed to be over this past year- you must be feeling really exhausted. There's no wonder you are feeling not so excited for your birthday or Christmas- I think that's really normal after everything you've been through
Perhaps you could celebrate your birthday in a way that feels special to you. It might be helpful to acknowledge the significance of this first birthday without your mum and allow yourself to feel your emotions. These first moments and events can be tough after someone close to you passes away, but it's important to feel them properly. I am so sorry you lost your mum, Eylah. I can hear how much of an important role she played in your life for you.
Would it be helpful to chat about a plan for tomorrow?

Christmas Support Thread: TODAY (6:30-8pm) 🎄
Hey everyone
We know the holidays can be a bittersweet time and it can bring up a lot of big feelings for many
This is your reminder that this evening at 6:30-8 PM, we're hosting a Christmas Support Thread right here on the boards.
Here are some things you might want to bring to the space:
Feelings: Share how you're feeling about Christmas.
Worries: Discuss any specific challenges you're going through (including but not limited to, neurodivergence, family dynamics, money struggles, worries around food at Christmas time, loneliness at Christmas etc.)
Hopes: Talk about what you're looking forward to this festive season.
Peer Support: If you're feeling up to it, we also invite you to come along and offer support to others.
How it works:
Just like our Friday Support Threads, our Christmas Support Threads will be moderated by our team and volunteers on the discussion boards.
Tonight will be moderated by myself and @Maia
See you then!

Re: my first birthday without my mum 💔
Hello @eylah
I can imagine it's a lot to read all these replies but it's beautiful to see how many people want to connect with you while you're feeling this way. I hope that you can spend your birthday being kind and loving towards yourself. And if you're able to do something that can bring out some laughter or even a small smile to your face, that's already a win. I'm sending you the biggest hug
