in Introduce Yourself
Hiya, i dont feel overly comfortable sharing my name, you can just refer to me by my username lol but im 16, she/her and i have anxiey.
Ive never done anything like this before but my anxiety seems to be getting bad again and i wanted to give this a try! I wont go into specifics about my mental health immediately, just thought id introduce myself.
Im at college, and i want to be a sex educator in the future. I draw and im getting back into reading for the first time since lower school lol. Im in a relationship of 1 year and a half with my bf who makes me very very happy :)
apologies if i sound a little awkward, im not very good at introducing myself but im excited to try this out! x

    Hi @sheepbaby

    first of all you aren’t awkward at all I would like to welcome to the mix family. There support chat every night at 8 o’clock until 9:30 every night if you want to discuss your anxiety further or general chat which is there for you to have fun and chat with others. First of all I would suggest you check out the forum for new members I forgot what it’s called but hear you will find out what you need to know about the boards.

    Welcome to the community @sheepbaby, my name is Elle, it’s wonderful to have you here! 

    Jaide has given you some great advice above. If you would like to join the group chats you can find them here: https://www.themix.org.uk/get-support/group-chat
    The people you meet on the boards, you will likely see around there as well. 

    You’re not awkward at all, your intro is great :)
