    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

    I totally feel this <3

    My mum just orders me around to move things and it’s like she owns me. She gets annoyed when I have emotions and stuff but I just don’t wanna be her possession!!

    Sending hugs to all those who need them. :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 "

    @Chloe234 please don’t leave unless you actually want to. I want you to be okay! I don’t think you’re causing problems, you just need some support and that’s okay. You’re not always gonna be available to help other people - that’s just part of being human. We’re here for you, and even if you do leave, we’ll welcome you right back whenever you need it. Please take care :heart:

    You are very welcome here in the community and we all care about you so much Chloe. You're part of our The Mix family here :) We've just sent you a DM from The Mix account to check in. We're here to talk anything through <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 ❤

    It’s crazy but I miss going to school (on a gap year rn). I miss the routine and the way that people are constantly checking up on you. I just miss the support of it, I suppose. It’s been months but I still haven’t got used to this. I just wanna feel like a child because people care about you just because you aren’t 18 yet.

    @Chloe234 Thank you so much for sharing what you are going through. It sounds really difficult to be reminded of losing your step mum in this way and it's understandable that this would be triggering for you. We're all here for you. Are you able to speak to the people you are driving with and let them know that this will be hard for you? Grief is hard at all times of year but especially around Christmas and when something reminds you of the person you have lost. You might find these articles helpful:

    Remember you are not alone in this <3

    @AnonymousToe, adjusting to change after leaving school can be really tough - you're not alone in this. It can be so difficult to feel isolated, but remember you have a whole community of people here who care about you and want to listen and talk things through <3 I have replied to your other post with some tips that might help :)

    I’m stressed and I’m stuck. A bill came out this week that I didn’t know about and now I have no money…. Literally no money until student finance comes in on the 8th and I don’t know what I’m meant to do :(

    @Millie2787 that sounds like a really stressful situation! I am so sorry to hear that. Is there anyone that could possibly give you a helping hand until you get your student finance? Perhaps a close friend ? I am sure they would understand and be more than happy to help <3 Could you make a list of the things that you might need until you get your student finance payment and see if someone would be willing to help you out?
