    @Past User Thanks so much for starting such a kind and wonderful thread!

    I think it's important to remember not to put pressure on yourself during this time. It's okay if you're struggling, there's a lot of pressure to be consistently happy but you're doing brilliantly. Sending love and strength to everyone that needs it right now <3

    My message is just to take Christmas at your own pace! Don't force yourself to visit those who make you uncomfortable and don't be afraid to say no.

    Lastly just enjoy the day! It only comes once a year, it'll come and go before you know it so make the most of the things you enjoy, with people that you care about <3

    I hope you can spend a wonderful Christmas holiday with the ones you love in a safe, comfortable environment. If you need to talk, The Mix forum can help.
    All the best, please take a nice rest from the demands of work and studies.

    Lovely idea!

    Christmas can be a tricky time for some, but use it as a time to practice self care, relax, do things you enjoy and have fun :) and remember that if you do struggle this time of year, you CAN get through it <3

    I love this thread - such a lovely idea!

    If you are finding this time of year difficult remember there are people you can reach out to who can help you through this. You're not alone <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 ❤

    You don't have to do anything you don't want to over Christmas. I know not everyone has this luxury though, and I'm sending love if you're being railroaded into things you don't want to do (especially being around people you don't want to be around) - it really sucks. <3
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.

    Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, whether it's a happy time or difficult time, whether you spend it with family, friends, or by yourself. Know that you have value, and that you have a place in this world! x

    Also, I received a message the other day from a friend saying that I inspire them and their friends, which really touched my heart <3
