    Welcome to The Mix @mt15, its really lovely to have you part of our community.

    Feel free to take a read of our Community Guidelines for some guidance on what you can post about whilst reaching out or giving support to others here. Generally, you can make a post about anything you're going through as long as it's within our community guidelines. The Discussion Boards are open 24/7 for you to use and get support from other members.

    In terms of Group Chat, we run these Monday-Thursday evenings from 8-9.30pm. We have a few different types of Group Chat running and these are General Chat, Support Chat, Support Circle and Young Carers Chat. You can find out more over on our website - https://www.themix.org.uk/get-support/group-chat

    I hope that's help, let us know if you have any questions :)
    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 ❤

    Also want to say welcome to the mix @mt15 - hope you get settled in here. You'll quickly realise how easy the boards are to operate, so feel free to join in our discussions here if you want (there's a range of different ones, some asking questions, others just random threads).

    Look forward to seeing you around and sending hugs
