I've introduced myself here before, but I haven't posted around here, so I should do the intro thing again.
I'm Anna
I'm 20
Living in Dublin.
Russian.
I love cacti, cats, green tea, coffee, pythons and sleeping.
Studying psychology.
Can ramble about random subjects for great lengths of time.
Also, green tea.
Any green tea appreciators out there, I want to hear from you. Maybe we can drink green tea together or something. That'd be awesome.
Hello... I'd rather not share my real name. I'm 22 and a mum of 3 (had one baby at age 18 and packed up self harm, had twins in 2009). I recently started feeling very stressed and started feeling trapped and build-up of emotions only now it's worst as I have the added shame, guilt and pressure that I SHOULDN'T be feeling this way under any circumstances as a mum and an older person. I feel like I've been flung back into the place I was as that teenage girl and I DON'T want to be her. I was sure I had escaped her and left her behind :( Anyway I need some support and I want to get back to the wonderful happy person that I've been for the past 4 years, but I feel very lost and very angry and full of horrible self-hatred and very dark thoughts about myself and those around me (not my kids - it's my husband, family and friends). I am convinced that everybody hates me and is talking about me :( I know it's probably in my head and I desperately want to overcome this. I really really want to get back to where I've spent the last 4 years but I feel so stuck. I hope I can get some support here to get back on track. Anyway, that's me. I am sorry for the big offload. I don't talk about this IRL because I feel so ashamed and don't want to bring people down or get scolded. Please be supportive. I really need some help. I feel like I'm drowning :(
Hi, I'm Lost, but I want a new username and can't think of one.
I'm 25 and live close to Salisbury. I've got a young daughter and a passion for tattoos. I'm also a student and hoping to go to uni to study nursing.
I'm quite liking the vets part of the forum and I think I'll stick around for a while! I'm quite happy for anyone to PM me but I can be rubbish at replying to things sometimes, I'm not mean, just very disorganised and forgetful!!!
Hold your breath, count to ten, fall apart, start again...
My name is Shaylyn. I'm 28 and joined right before recover started but have been away for a long time. During my time away, I basically quit all forms of SI and I am currently married to a former member Tyson aka Unimportant. We will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary next month.
I take anti-depressants and have been on the same ones for a few years. Luckily for me they still work. My husband was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder shortly after we were married (which I see as a step forward) and currently struggles with it daily. He has not found a doctor he trusts or medicine to help. We take things day by day.
That pretty much sums things up.
do you know how far this has gone? just how damaged have I become? when I think I can overcome it runs even deeper
I may well have done this before, but I have horrific memory problems (think Dori from finding nemo) so here we go again
I'm Mara (& co), 24, SW England. I have many many rats & they keep me sane, well some would argue that, but they keep me happy so raspberries to those who don't agree :)
Previously unicorn-tears
In a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace,
falling into empty space
With no-one there to catch you in their arms

Well, I have done some posts and stuff, so I might as well introduce myself I am shattered1 (JAR -initials). I am 38 and live in the state of Iowa in USA. I struggle with self harming, disassociation, and I am beginning to wonder about something else...but not willing to face that yet. So, that is me. Take care everyone.
*waves hi*
Shattered
Different parts & ages: The little girl, "J" who's full of hate, Someone who actually knows happiness, One who's depressed & has no self confidence, "The shell" who just goes through the motions of daily living, numb. Without emotions. All these parts form the person known as J.A.R. I'm no longer whole. These parts need to be combined to make me whole; it's just not known how or if this can be done. Maybe I'll never again be whole, maybe I'll always remain the way I am.
Shattered.
Hmmm....
Well, I'm Ash, 24. I've been away from RYL for God knows how long and have only recently come back to lurk and see if I recognize anyone. In all the years I've been here I've never really had the guts to post in vets (don't know why). So anywho not sure what else to say about myself, I like long romantic walks on the beach.....wait, wrong site. Ahem. So yeah.
Hi guyses

hi
my name is bluekatey
im 46 years old
i have been cutting for 31 years
started when i was 15
i dont really have much hope of
stopping because i have tried and went to
all the usual things like counseling and tried meds
but none of it has helped
hopefully i can at least make friends and
learn some distractions to at least reduce my cutting
and maybe help someone else.
