newbie
Hello everyone. :) My name is Ashley and I am 19 years old. Next year, I'm planning on going to university for linguistics so that I can eventually be an ASL interpreter. :)
I have been self harming for about two years now, the only reason I started was because I was really stressed out about school work and angry at myself. I took a year of university, and when I was there my mental health went downhill drastically. I took a year off to focus on myself and feeling better (and to figure out what I actually wanted to do with my life :P) but it didn't work as I had planned. Everything just kept getting worse and worse.
I'm tired of hating myself and I'm tired of injuring myself, and I've tried recovering before, but always relapsed. Afterwards I would be so discouraged and I felt like I could never recover. I keep telling myself that I am going to do it this time. I just need to work on forgiving myself and accepting who I am.
Sorry this turned into a rant, haha. I look forward to (hopefully) getting to know some of you! :)
