I've fell out with my mum and she said she is never going to contact me again and she hasent for 2 days now so I think she means it this time because I had to say to family members that me and her had fell out (and at this point we hadent) it was to get money for drugs and I think she knows I am on drugs the way my money is going so quick. So I don't think I have a relationship with my mum anymore.

How are you feeling today?
I'm sorry to hear you've fallen out with your mum and haven't heard from her for a few days. This sounds really tough to be going through. Is there anyone else in your family you can talk to who can possibly reach out to your mum?
I hope you hear from her soon, keep us updated
Nope, there is'nt.
I just thought I would check in with you to see how your doing today?
I'm sorry to read your going through a difficult situation. Its understandable you would feel unable to have a relationship with your mum, she is still your mum and I hope she can see that as well as your are still her child. You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, would you consider having a relationship with your mum in future? Sometimes time can be a big healing power in situations.
We are glad to hear you are safe and don't harm yourself or others. Is there anything we can help you with here at The Mix? We really do care about you and we would like to keep you safe.
We hope you keep us updated and things will settle down soon.
Plus my friend and her partner are in their room and I'm in the lounge so I feel lonely and they've spent a lot of money on crack tonight so I know they are just having that to themselves that makes me want to buy but I have no money 😡😥
Me and my mum have made up now I think.
Nope, there is nothing Themix can help with just like to be listened to.
You mentioned urges to hurt yourself, have you though about using distractions such as writing on yourself with pen, listening to music, biting into a chilli weird can help distract the mind from the though of harming oneself.

Hi Lubna I've been an active member of this message board and this forum for 18 years now, and I and many other members have had thousands of discussion where we've been candid about our drugs us. It's a safe place to chat.
Though it's not something I've done a lot of, I have used crack in the past, but at the risk of sounding like a hypocrite I feel I should point out it is one of the most harmful recreational drugs there is. I have known, and still know people who use it and almost all of them have suffered negative effects to their lives. Please be careful.
Cocaine is a drug that does have a habit of inducing selfish behaviour.
