Hey all 
I had some time away from mix and wanted to make sure you know I am having a fresh start.  Some things I said before I think upset some of you  and I’m going to be more truthful from now on. I understand that’s important On a community like this.
I also said some things to get support more quickly and understand this maybe caused upset with the community I’m sorry for this and will be more truthful this time

    Welcome back!

    Glad to hear you're looking at being more honest, this is good for the community but also good for you as it will help you get better support :) Do you mind me asking what so far that you've told us is truthful?
    Kind of difficult to answer but sure so I’m aged 13  suffer from anxiety and depression and feeling lonely. 
    Get bullied in school 
    maybe @TheMix can help me write the rest

    Hiya @Past User welcome back! It’s great that you’ve reflected on your time here and decided to be more honest, it’s really difficult to open up about problems sometimes but when you do in a place like this, honesty is so important :)

    It's really appreciated that you've decided to apologise and start again. I didn't realise how young you were, just out of curiosity have you ever tried childline? They have a similar message board accept it's more tailored towards younger people.

    Oh sorry yeah. Agree with Aidan Could you make a post on what is the truth about situation. Cause j just called you daisy but i don’t know if that’s true cause your dog was called daisy. Sorry not trying to be rude just would be helpful. As might accidentally say another thing from the past It’s okay to lie about your name if you want to for privacy though. I did that on childline chats. Or yeah I’ll just try to totally forget what was said before

    Hey :) 

    Its good to have you back , I work with adults with dementia so know how scary and frustrating it can get when there “Violent” . I have found it’s normally because there frustrated about something and that speaking to them in a calm tone or distracting them with something that makes them smile or happy , even a cup of tea can help diffuse the situation <3
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    I’m still Fairly new in the role so I don’t know too much but am happy to help where I can 💜 if you don’t mind me asking do you know what type of dementia they have ? I work with all different types and sometimes the way you calm them down can be different depending on there Outburst / type of dementia
