Hey folks, with Christmas just around the corner, here at The Mix we are here for you if you need to chat about anything or get any support.

So I thought it would be a nice idea to start a thread where people can chat about things or even just offer some hugs. 

You are not alone and we are here for you :heart:

Sending hugs :heart:

    I really struggle with Christmas and I'm already feeling really anxious. My nan passed away around Christmas time and ever since, it feels difficult
    Sending hugs :heart: 

    We are here for you, dealing with grief can be hard over the festive period,

    I can relate. I lost my Nanna 3 months before Christmas, and it's her birthday in December. Your not alone. Sending lots of hugs to you :heart:

    Is there a new year thread? 

    My family always talk about it being new year.  But then both of my sisters started their new jobs in the new year and i still havent got a job and they have said a few times now that they working there for a year and i feel i should of got a job this year. And they reflect a lot and its overwhelming

    But i mean i did do my peer support training which was so hard to get onto and i completed allll of it and was intense and that stays with me. For when ever jobs come out. So i guess thats really good 
    “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 don't think there's a new year thread yet Shaunie but this would be helpful as new year is going to be harder for me than Christmas will be.

    Christmas is always hard for me as Christmas was always something my nana used to do special things with us and ever since she passed away 3 years ago Christmas hasn’t been the same since :( 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    I struggle at Christmas as well. None of you are ever alone. You are never alone. These are the things I struggle with:

    1. My parents arguing
    2. Food
    3. I usually get to see my aunt and cousin but haven't been able to since Christmas 2016. I miss them a lot.
    4. Out of all my siblings I only get to see 2 of them.
    5. I feel bad that one of my friends doesn't even spend Christmas with her family. She is in care.

    remember to take care of yourself during the lead upto and during christmas. 

    Self care is important, and the best gift you can give yourself. Nothing is more important than your health so if you feel yourself getting overwhelmed, or stressed, its okay! get yourself a cuppa or hot chocolate and just take a minute x it will all work out okay <3
  • DancerDancer Community Champion Posts: 8,104 Legendary Poster
    I agree that self care is very important. To do with the hot chocolate, add whipped cream, marshmallows, cocoa powder and maybe a biscuit or crossaint.

    Oh no, doesn't sound good. Are the train services providing additional transport?

    Aren't people supposed to be nice all year- especially close to Christmas? Certainly not the case at school. :(
