in Introduce Yourself
It's been a while. Hi I'm Tori. I used to be a regular untill I got long term sectioned, had intensive therapy, got back on track and started my life. I now have 2 amazing children, despite my user I don't dance anymore due to my disabilities. I'm 24 so am I even allowed here any more I don't know? I hope so as I love it here, I know things are changing, and I'm not sure what that means for the mix, hopefully nothing major as I hope I can start being more active here again.

    @dancertori im pretty sure it’s still the same rules of if your 25 you can still use parts of the service but not other parts like circle and stuff so if your 24 you can use any :)
    Want to hurt me… go ahead
    Wish to bully me…I’m used to it
    Want to talk crap about me…go on then
    Want to make me cry…feel free

    @Dancertori welcome back. We had some great times in chat a few years ago, I’m so glad to hear you’re doing well.

    You are still very much allowed here, there’s no strict cut off age, 25 is the guideline and you can’t use certain services (like circle) once you turn 26, but you’re very welcome here on the boards and in chat - after all, no one ever really leaves the mix!

    Welcome back, as everyone else said you more than welcome to come back on here (obviously there may be some services on here you may not be able to access due to age). However, you more than welcome to use the boards and chat to any of us here too. It's a pleasure to meet you too <3.

    Hi @dancertori welcome back, it's nice to me you!
    Likewise with what everyone has stated you're welcome here in the Mix and to chat whenever you like on the discussion boards. Congrats on your children and also the hard work that you did to get where you are :3

    You are very welcome here @dancertori, it's so lovely to see you back here :)

    Everyone has answered your question perfectly here so I just wanted to confirm you are still very welcome to use the community. We support anyone from the ages of 13-25 and we've got a bit more info on what happens when you turn 26 over in another thread 'What if I'm over 25?' which you're welcome to take a read of.

    It's so nice to hear how much you love it here. Keep reaching out whenever you need to, we're all here for you and you're always part of The Mix family <3
    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 ❤
