Update - Very positive!!
Hello :)
Just thought I'd pop in with a quick update. Most of you nowadays probably won't recognise me, but a few years ago this place was pretty much where I spent my whole life. I had SIed since I was 11 (2001), and joined RYL back in 2006 (having been a lurker in the days of Ruin). During my teenage years I went through some very rough patches, my SI got worse, and I nearly ended up being kicked out of school because of it. Mental health services majorly failed me, and I felt that I was going to be written off and left to fall down the route of self destruction until I eventually killed myself.
However, here we are in 2012 and I can honestly say things are going great!! I've been SI free for about 3 years (other than one very small slip), I've finally found a job I love working in a childrens home, and have met some fantastic people over the last few years. I'm so happy at the moment compared to where I was a few years ago. Obviously the memories of the past never go away, but they do slowly fade and it is possible to move on :)

Jenny, this is just wonderful to hear [I used to be surprising mystery by the way].
I am really pleased to read this. I was actually thinking about you the other day, wondering if you'd been back on RYL when I kept seeing Jelly in people's usernames, I was like, nope, not her, darnit.
:D

I remember you, welcome back. I'm glad you're doing well. :)

It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

Thanks guys - I guess I've just got lucky over the last couple of years....finally found some people who cared enough to support me rather than being terrified of me because of my SI. Still think about it a lot, but my current job is the biggest incentive not to cut again - I dont want to risk losing it.
