    Just had a letter re the ongoing situation. Horrible, it's 22nd fucking December and I just getting into the christmas spirit. They want me to see social worker and i've been warned if i dont I face court etc. I feel sick. I want to cry. Holding the letter shaking.

    Oh god I am so sorry that happened to you @independent_ that's awful especially if they threatened you with court as well. I'm always here if you need someone during this time <3. I'm sorry you have to go through that especially during the festive period too.

    Nothing feels right this year. It’s ok, just a bit miserable. Sending hugs to anyone who’s actually struggling right now :heart:

    Bless you, you really aren’t alone feeling like this, I’ve not felt festive all season. :anguished: This Christmas has been really hard for me so it’s near impossible to be happy. :cold_sweat: Sending hugs.

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Sendings lots of hugs to everyone today. Keep reaching out here on the community whenever you need to. We're all here for you <3
    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 ❤

    Sending hugs to you, we are here for you if you want to talk about things. :heart:

    " And everywhere I am, there you'll be, your love made me make it through, oh I owe so much to you "
    " So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

    I feel like I’m just wasting everyone’s time being here. I don’t think I need support as much as a lot of you, and I feel like I don’t deserve it either. I think I’m a really terrible person

    Hey @AnonymousToe

    I'm Talie - I work here at The Mix and I'm helping out a few days over Christmas. We totally hear you, and I wanted to let you know that lots of people feel this way, you're not alone in that.

    Even if you don't feel like it, you 100% deserve support, and no matter what's going on, big or small, if it matters to you it matters to us.

    Please reach out. The community here are great and always keen to offer a listening ear.

    @Aife posted some support options a few comments if you need them.

    Is there something you could do to distract yourself? Any techniques you’ve learnt? Maybe write out how you’re feeling, it doesn’t have to be for anyone. Sorry I’m not of a lot of help, I don’t have much experience with this. Please keep safe :heart:

    Struggling slightly with the way that so many other people are struggling. I just want everyone to be ok. I feel bad ever being happy because I know that in that moment some people will be feeling awful.
    That’s nobody’s fault, I just wish life was kinder to us all, you know?
    Sending lots of hugs to anyone who needs them
