Rain Keeper
flooded in a mental state of hell

It is Official!

To my fellow friends who have stuck by me and supported me through the past years and have followed me through the last few recent months...


I have come to make the announcement that I am now a Certified EMT!!!!



Can you saw WOWZER!!!

I want to thank each and every one that has wished me luck, supported me in my tears, given me hugs, or have just thought about me in your thoughts.

I have known conquering my fears and having faith in myself would have to come first. It has now been just shy of 10 months that I have not self harmed.

I think back to the times I wrote about "just one mark" or "just one Burn" or "Just one cut" and the desire to do so. Your encouraging words kept the actions from going into play.

And now....Now that my scars are turning lighter shades...now that I can own up to my actions...Now that I know I have that strength inside to let the emotions ride and calm....I am happier, more confident, and a changed woman.


Going on 32 years of mental hell and self torture....I have come to be a person of great mental wealth...still learning, still having a struggle here and there, but knowing that this mountain can be moved!!!


Thank you everyone....thank you my dear friends of RYL...


Let the rains come!!!


Rainy


the flood is here and i can't keep the rain

Very well done!




I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.

Amazing. Enjoy your new job!


Always seem to get things just that little bit wrong.

That's super-awesome! Congratulations!

As someone with interest in pursuing some EMT training, could I ask how your history of self harm affected your acceptance in the training programmes? It sounds as though you've made it past SH, and congrats for that as well, so maybe it's a non-issue for you. I'd love to do something like EMT work where I can help people, but I'm definitely nowhere near a place where I can stop harming. So yeah, any advice you can give from personal experience would be nice. ^^
