HI All
My time here is nearly approaching the end and The Mix will be scooting me out of here. It feels horrible to reach such a point when everything seems to be falling apart and all feels so unbearable. Its like nix will emd my account here and I'm scared those ending thoughts will overwhelm.. I wont do anything yet and no plans before you spike!
its the way it is ive reached the age limit now.
Its been a nice place to post things and thank you so much to each and everyone of you that has helped, supported mez seen or posted on my posts things are tough people but keep plodding on. Like the butterfly we all hide away but we will emerge one day into a beautiful thing flying right above 🦋..
I have no clue how ill manage this but I'll try..anyone has tips on coping with this let me know...
So thank you everyone.... and bye in the next coming days.

I’m so sorry 🫂 it’s awful what’s become of the mix. You’ve got this! Wishing you the best in everything <3
I'm so sorry. I know it's not the best, but there's a place called side by side you can go on instead after the mix. You shouldn't be without support @Invisible_me. I'm wishing you all the best in life cause you deserve it.
Its horrible.. im being chucked out at such a fragile time.. I ain't got a clue how ill cope.
I honestly dont even bave ghe energy to look at other sites.
sending you so much love and support @Invisible_me - i can imagine how hard it must feel for the aging out period to land in a difficult time for you. wishing you all the best and hopefully you're able to find an alternative support site, as you deserve to be able to continue having some form of support, no matter where that comes from. 😊
@Invisible_me i wish you well with your future.
gd luck with everything. @Invisible_me . side by side is a community for adults if you needed somewhere to go for support. its like the mix but for adults. 🤍
Thank you .. it feels unbearable...its horrible.. itll be the end of it after today. I will give side by side a try. 😢😢
@Invisible_me ughhh, im so so sorry, it breaks my heart and makes me sad that you have to go especially during this time 😥, Im so so sorry . I wish you best of luck with everything, I and other members will see you round side by side hopefully so its hopefully not a complete good bye. Im so so sorry its got to end like this here for you during a horrible time too. If there was anything I could do to help I would . We're all going to miss you round these ends. Ive not been too supportive to you here too, whilst you have to me which is deeply appreciated. Im so sorry for being late to reply to this too. Good luck with everything ❤️
AAsw @Redemption that touched. No your welcome. Its okay no im sure you hsve helped be defo.
IIts Horrible honestly.. like im genuinely struggling so much with everything . Its come at a wrong time.
and the mix has just been like yeah go and do what ever you like. It feels like they've given me permission. I don't any plans yet but its intense... im trying to hold on.
Ill Ms the boards to!
@Invisible_me I'm feeling a bit like crying because of you going through a horrible time and having to leave, I hope you dont mind but checked your profile and I noticed you're a long term member here too , I didn't know for some reason. I really do empathise for you. I hear you completely.
@Invisible_me boards is going to be a lot lonelier without you. Like Redemption say's, a lot of us are on side by side, and it's a supportive community sort of like the mix. It's not the exact same, and might take some time to get used to, but you absolutely deserve to have a support community. You don't deserve to be kicked off here at all, especially when your going through such horrific stuff. As i said, i really do wish you the best, cause this isn't fair at all on you.
Ive messaged you on side by side if you want a chat, I'm always here too @Invisible_me but if not that's absolutely fine. You absolutely don't deserve to lose here or the horrible period you're going through. It will get better
Hi no I don't mind ... irs okay if you didnt know...
Aww I'll definitely miss the boards. Oh will it be lonely without me. I hope ive helped others.
it feels scary moving to adult boards after what I've bern through knowing grown adults could be on there scares me a bit! I feel safer with young people.. it sounds silly I kniw. Although a lot of people from here mighty be on there, I don't know anyone
It's completely understandable being scared given everything. The Mix has been what you've been used to for a long time now, and losing that, and having to change to a different platform with older users is completely understandable that it's a scary thing. It's not silly in the slightest feeling more safe with the Mix's age group. For what it's worth, and i know it might not make things any less scary, but they have strict rules and automated moderating systems in place safeguarding wise, so it will be safe, like it is on the Mix.
And you have helped a huge amount of people on here, and made a world of a difference.
Also, happy birthday for tomorrow.
YYeah I've been used to this and got to meet people so now having to go somewhere new is scary.
I know they'll have moderation erc but its thst feeling isnt. Thanks for understanding!
IIts Mot my birthday tomorrow
Oh sorry, that's my bad. I thought cause you were aging out that it happened on peoples birthdays. My apologies, i'm not 100% familiar with how it works.
And that's completely understandable. Meeting new people is always a scary thing, as is change. I really hope that everything works out well for you in future.
Hey @Invisible_me i’m so sorry you’ve been left feeling so alone. I feel you on moving onto other communities, i also have a side by side account but I also feel I don’t know anybody yet - if i tried a bit harder i could probably get to know people like i have here but it is a tough transition that I will eventually have to make as well. But from what I’ve seen, people are supportive like they are here and people do make friends. I suppose knowing that some people move there from here I do look out for them when I go on there (which admittedly isn’t very much yet).
It is so hard moving on isn’t it and I worry I’ll feel the same when the time comes. I remember though, when i had to leave childline I was ok about it but I think that was because I had here.
You take care, it will definitely be strange without seeing you around here.
I know the feeling of having to move onto other things. I will definitely miss you on here and like everyone else here has mentioned you deserve support. I know side by side is another alternative and its also something I might be looking at as well. Im always here if you need someone <3.
IIts Okay...
Hey.. its just the way it is.. frel alone isolated. Ohh are you? Maybe we'll cross paths.. its a bit difficult to navigate.
im on side by side. so if you ever need someone to talk to im here for you. 🤍
Are you, maybe cross paths there if i see you
Hey @Invisible_me, you have been so brave to open up about everything here, I'm sure the community will agree with me when I say that. I know you've said Side By Side can feel scary due to it being an adult-based platform, but do you feel open to giving them a go? It sounds like you might get to see some members of our Community over there too, and I know they will help you settle in where possible. How does that feel?
@Callum it feels scary to.. they'll be grown men on there is dont mean to be rude or judgemental or discriminatory but with everything that has happened it makes me feel very conscious.. im sorry..😩 things feel so hard.. and from tomorrow I'll. Be all alone..
If anyone is on side by side and sees.me.round reach out and say hi!!
my name on there is same as here. you can msg me on there if you like. 🤍
@Invisible_me It's sad that you have to go, and you will be missed. I hope that you're able to find another community for support. 💜
