Hey Guys. =]
I'm Samantha, I go by either that or Sam. I am recently 17 years old and I live in Chicago. About myself, there's not too much. I'm a pretty boring person, honestly. I am attending both high school and cosmetology school. Upon finishing these, I intend to got to school in California to become specialized in special effects makeup and prosthetics. Basically, movie/television gore and Halloween props. Interest wise, I am really into body modification of all kinds. I'm also a crafty person, not saying that I'm any good at any of it, but its something fun for me to do.
I found RYL while looking for local support groups, figured I might as well try posting here as well. I decided to look for more interactive help because most people I have tried to talk to about it just don't understand. Often, they just get angry and refuse to talk to me, which just triggers me and makes the situation worse. Thought it would be nice to talk to people who understand and who could hopefully help me find ways to control my urges. =]
I've been self harming for seven years, hasn't really seemed like that long until I think about it haha. I had managed to avoid harming myself for around three or four months, but recently relapsed due to someone I trusted completely betraying that. I am diagnosed with severe generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder. Both I have been working on finding medication to help with for the last year, I have yet to find one that works with me.
Hopefully this will work for me and allow me to help others as well. I look forward to getting to know you. =]
