    Hi I'm Elysia1794, I'm here because I'm struggling this year has been very difficult a lot has happened and I need help. I have PTSD I was diagnosed at 16 but I think I've had it since I was 9years old. While still at uni a big family secret has come out and I now know several of my family members have been abused by another family member who I have been incredibly close to, so I've lost contact with the person. My family has been to court and it has meant what once was a big close family is now a family where only certain family members have contact. As well as this I lost my Granddad from the other side of my family and the grandmother from this side of the family. My partner also took an overdose as she was having problems with her family, shes ok now but this has been a very rough year. I need help and support and I'm looking for it anywhere I can. Please help me

    Welcome! Anonymity is important here, so it's always ok to remain that way. You and I are the same age! Great to meet you

    Also welcome to all new members!!! We love you!

    Hi, I'm Sophie, i don't really know why I'm here, I guess just for an extra bit of support/distraction really? I'm a relatively happy person but when I'm not kept busy i find it difficult to stay in a positive mindset, so itd be nice to have somewhere to go when the people currently in my life arent around.

(I have just linked 3 below but there are a lot more under get information mental health)

    Hey @Notme welcome to the boards! Let us know if there's anything we can help you with :)
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Welcome to the board, @Notme Do ask us anything and we will help you. Enjoy your time with us.

    All the best,

    Welcome to the boards, @tiamcconnell it's lovely to have you here - and what an appealing avatar picture you have! :rainbow2:

    I've just started horse riding; we have a Russian cob. She's so broad, it's like riding a boat! 😂

    Now, here are a couple of useful sites linked to our forum. They are a good read, and could be so helpful to you.

    Hello again Tia,

    I just want you to know that until you start posting on the boards to increase your post count, it's unlikely you will be able to receive or make private messages.

    Reach out to us on the boards. Make a post about what help you need in, say, Health and Wellbeing, or post on the ranty thread in Anything Goes, or below that on the music forum. There are plenty of places you can post on, all helping increase your post count.

    The forum is quiet this week and might be because people have school exams / revision. But there are usually people around.

    Every evening except Fridays is chat, and each are very well moderated - so not troublemakers. 'Live chat announcements' are on the index page, a topic posted usually by lunchtime showing which mod is going to be in support, or general chat. It only takes a few minutes to make a chat account, but it can only be done once chats have started. Go here when they open.

    http://www.themix.org.uk/get-support/group-chat

    Wishing you all the best, and hope you enjoy the boards, wave.gif
