Hi there, I'm new here!
My name's Pammy.
I live with the most amazing boyfriend ever in the southern US.
I'm 20 years old, a full-time philosophy & humanities student, & an elementary school teacher.
I've struggled with self-harm for the past 8 or 9 years (although I was in remission the past 2), so I guess that makes me a vet.
I was diagnosed with depression & social anxiety disorder in my mid-teens, but both have improved significantly as I've gotten older.
After a recent significant weight loss, I've added some disordered eating/binging/restricting to my litany of psychological issues.
But I'm also an optimist- things are always getting better, & I'm slowly growing into the person I'm meant to be with every struggle, every day.
Hello. I'm Duck, I'm 28, my latest diagnosis is schizoaffective - they change their minds a lot, I've been some sort of weird all my life.
I have a degree in psychology and I am studying for a postgrad health sciences MSc. I got out of hospital (was on section) a month ago today.
I haven't deliberately SH-d for a few years now, but I have been lurking for a while and this place looks interesting. I like running, reading science fiction, and I'm a bit of a science geek.
I'm Kirsty, 23 tomorrow, and getting married in 31 days!
I generally hang about online in the evenings, I work full time. I live in Aberdeen with my hubby to be, and we hope to have a house and pets soon!!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all
xx
Nobody knows, nobody cares that I die on the inside
Nobody sees the lie that is me, as I smile on the outside
I'm Rachel or Smudge and I am 23. I live with my husband (who I hope will completely understand how I feel one day). I'm a tea-room and bookshop assistant (which I hate). I hope to go university one day and I am currently having psychotherapy sessions for my depression and self harm :(
Hello all,
I've been around the site forever, but haven't ever been active in the forums. So no one knows me and all that jazz :P Quick intro, My name is Kat, I am 22, a pre-med student (God willing I get into med school x_x). I am married going on two years, I SI'd for almost 10 years and, and haven't in the last three years :) Still struggle with an eating disorder at times, its easy for me to slip back into addictive behaviors as well. Just really needed to find people (friends? :P) I could talk with that understand sometimes you just feel crazy and can't explain it. So I'm here, because I have never felt any judgement from anyone on here :)
