in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. I just found out about this website and it seems really cool so I thought I would introduce myself.

I'm a 17 year old college student currently struggling with having so much free time now that it's the summer holidays. I have trouble with anxiety but I'm pretty friendly and wouldn't mind talking if anybody wanted to. :) I'm looking forward to hopefully getting to know some of you.

    Hey Cryptic, welcome to The Mix boards!

    That drop off when the summer hols kick in can be a bit jarring, but glad you've found your way here :)
    You're more than welcome to start your own thread about your anxiety if you'd like - we're a friendly bunch and I reckon there are a few people around who'd be able to relate. You could do that over in Health & Wellbeing. If you wanted ideas for what to do with all this free time, you could always ask over in Travel & Free Time!

    I'm James by the way, a moderator round these parts and part of the staff team. If you ever need a hand finding your way around, feel free to drop us a private message or head over to the Help Desk.

    See you around :thumb:

    James

    Hey Cryptic,

    Welcome to The Mix boards, I'm Elle, it's nice to meet you. There are definitely loads of people who can relate to your anxiety and this is a supportive community to receive support for that.
    I was just wondering if you've heard of The Mix live chats? There's a support chat (SC) for receiving support and a general chat (GC) for fun and general banter! The general chat is really good for distraction.

    Hope to see you around.
