Hi, I'm Amber...... not been around much in the past few months- but like to lurk and see what everyone's talking about.
I'm going to try to post more again as I have finally found myself wanting to stop SH or at least thinking about quitting a lot. Support from everyone around would be greatly appreiciated!!!

Hi, I'm Rita and I am 18. I was actually wondering if I was too young to be in the vets section, but I've noticed there is a few of similar age. I've actually self harmed since the age of four (roughly) although I didn't know what I was doing when I first began (obviously). However, I've been in recovery for over a year now... but I returned to RYL feeling extremely triggered. SO I basically thought I'd pop in and say hi, and I'd like to hear from anyone really.
hey, i'm brian. i used to be "gypsy" on v2. i lurked a whole lot on the vets board in v2, only posting very infrequently. in fact, it was even in my sig for a while.
i am 19, living alternately between vancouver and winnipeg, canada. i'm a third year civil engineering student. i'm interested in art, architecture, and music. basically i'm looking for something i can get some meaning out of. i hope to break out now that v3 is here and post more.
I'm sistercarrion. I'm known as and sign off as carrion. you may see my 'real' name abouts from time to time when i'm feeling brave, but i don't use it online much at all.
I'm 31, and live in the NW of England with a long term partner, our 3 year old son, and two demented mogs. I'm a bit of a (old style) trad goth, and i loves me music! I DJ, promote and run gigs, clubnights and events.
I'm diagnosed Bipolar ii, and mostly have problems during my depressed phases (although i do get anxious mixed states sometimes during my hypomanic bits, which can be the most destructive bits ). I also have OCD related problems, and panic and anxiety attacks. My SI tends to run in the background.. currently i am not cutting, but there are other ways that I SH that are pretty much constant.
I've put in a lot of work towards self-management, but unfortuntely am on a shedload of tablets currently. However, hopefully this will be lessened over the next year. Feel free to PM me about it, as I like to support where i can, and share my experiences if they are helpful. I'm also currently in the midsts of doing some retraining with the eventual aim of trying to get back to working. I'm also getting involved with placing sculpture in my psychiatry department to enrich the place a bit, as well as getting involved in allotment stuff.
I'm Wiccan, and my spiritual life is extremly important to me. I adore wild places and old buildings. More loves: making headresses, Top hats and bowler hats, feathers, shiny things, Da Boosh, Doctor Who, torchwood, Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, collecting odd stuff, Neil Gaiman, Hallowe'en tat, corsets, and my tourquoise and purple hair.
Ermm yeah.. that ended up longer than i thought it would! I've been on RYL for a bit.. and this new version is seeming a little scary to begin with!

im amy ive been here since about november of last year i post on here everyonce in a while but i dont really like asking people for help because then i feel sorta retarded but anyways im a photographer and ive SIed for almost 2 years now and its been about a month since i last cut maybe less
Welcome amy glad youve managed to post, please try not think your bad for asking for support.
We all need it at some time, Even the vets who have been here a while , still need to post. And we and you would loose nothing by asking , no one will push you to post, but know that you can and its a good way of keeping in touch and getting used to how ryl, an vets work.
Well done you for not cutting for about a month thats great.
Take care
Dave

Hey everyone! I'm Amber, but most people call me Turtle. I'm 21. I was on the old site, quite a long time ago, I don't even remember what username I had there. I don't SI to often anymore. I tend to go like 6 months without it, get frustrated and SI for a bit, and then quit again.
Anyway, so I'm here. I tend to read a lot more than I post, but I'm trying.
...Rowie!
Ive been a Vet since April 2006, so just over a year. Ryl has helped me so very much and I have made many good friends here since I joined.
Not much I can say really.......
I am willing to listen and help where I can.....willing to reply when able to
Much love

Hi, I'm Tanya. I'm 18. I'm from the USA. I use to use this site when I was much younger. I'm currently trying to get in college but having no luck with that.
I live in scotland which is good in itself but bad in others hehe.
I have been self harming since whenever (round bout the age of 12 or something). I had stopped for a couple of months but things are starting to pull me backwards and now I have a new problem to deal with as well.
I am really good friends with debbie (S_pod) and yeah, we did meet through here lol.
I have been a member since 2005 but recently has been the time I have started to post more and things so be nice and Im actually still a little scared cos I still feel stupid sometimes when I write something so if I am please tell me and I will stop rambling on.... maybe like now. Seriously, though Im just a really nice person, well so ive been told and yeah I tell it sometimes like it is cos I cant stand idiots but sometimes I just need to shut up and get on with things.
so take care and Im gonna try and fit in best I can
Bye byez for now
Ann xxxxxx
I'm 27 too (sorry nikaroo you're not the only oap!) I gave up si when i was around 19, but a recent job at a secure unit for teenage girls took me right back to those years again when i used to do it all the time... I have counselling booked for a fortnight if I can just hold on til then.
Don't know what else to say, wish I'd had something like this when I was a teen...
Ello!
My name is Olivia(I prefer Livvie or Liv) Im 20 years old from Maidstone in Kent.
Lol I have nothing of interest to say!gah! My PM box is always open if anyone needs anything :)

There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
