    This sounds great. Well done @Dancer. How does your hair feel now? Hopefully, your hair feels a lot better now! :3

    It definitely feels much better. Much easier to brush and feels smoother. I struggle to be able to wash my hair by myself so I need to get help with it so it doesn't always get done as much as it should.

    I think everyone on these boards should be proud of the community you've all created here, coming back to The Mix after Christmas it's just heart-warming seeing how well the people on here have taken care of each other and just been wonderful people all around. :blush:

    I think it is amazing that you even went for a run @Dandelion! I can guarantee you I never go for a run. Certainly not in the mornings or when I don't feel like it. Make sure you recognise your achievements and be kind to yourself :3

    On Friday I got a letter confirming that I got a place in the sixth form at my school. I now need to choose what subjects I want to do for A-Level by the end of next week.

    @Dancer well done of getting into sixth form! I remember you being super worried about that last year, so this is huge <3

    Phoned GP. I’ve needed to do it for a while, to have a review of my meds and also to update on how I’ve been feeling lately. It was a different GP which was a bit worrying but she was really nice, she really listened too and she’s booked me an appointment with a mental health nurse.

    @Emma_ - Aww thank you so much! We are all really proud of you too :3

    @Adam_S – Well done for waking up your mum and sister. I am sure they really appreciated that. It sounds like you waking them up meant that they could get to work! Really important and supportive of you :3

    @independent_ - I am really proud of you for managing to find the courage to reach out to your GP. How did the review go? It sounds stressful that it was with a different GP but really glad to hear they were also supportive. Good luck with your appointment with the mental health nurse. Please feel free to let us know how you get on! :3

    @Past User - Yay! I am really proud of you for managing to decide on your university choices. It is really important that this was with careful consideration as you deserve the best possible experience. It was really nice of you to make tea for your grandparents and how lovely that they both enjoyed it too! :3

    Didn't completely freak out when an argument (that was very close to becoming a fight if the teachers didn't immediately intervene) happened at school today.

    Went to my compatibility meeting. Really helpful. Said everything I wanted to say/needed to say. At points I found it very hard to get my words out but was very patient so i managed to say everything. The other manager who did it last time wouldn’t wait, probably cause he felt bad for me but I just need time.

    Feel so so much better now I’ve been completely honest with how I am feeling and made plans for how they can support me and what I had do in times of distress.

    I was very worried I’d be left alone with it all again.

    Literally feel like weight has been lifted.

    And I am very proud of myself
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    I did my role play for Health and Social Care today. I did the part of a care assistant in an elderly care home and I helped an elderly woman who was having problems getting her cardigan on due to a problem with her joints (it was all just role play.)
