Never thought I'd be here...!
Hello!
I've been on this website for quite some time now.... I think I was probably 14 when I made an account here? Anyway, I have come back -- not for my own sake but for the sake of others. I'm currently about 2 or 3 years free (I have temporarily forgotten just how long it's been!) and I think a good portion of that is because of these forums.
I never thought that I could say that it had been x years since I had hurt myself. I thought that I was stuck in a round of weeks without it, then regressing, then going x weeks without it again. It was a struggle; I'm not going to lie, it's a struggle even now. But to know that I've dug myself out of the hole and am living life...! It's a wonderful feeling.
I still refuse to take medications for my issues, but I've learned to cope with playing the piano to writing my fingers off to singing my lungs out!
I don't really know what I was going with this, haha. Anyway, thank you to everyone that gave me hugs here and was so kind and reached out to me in my times of need. I do believe that RYL has been a huge reason I was able to succeed in my recovery.

PS - Sorry if this is in the wrong place, it's been a while!
