First post...here goes

I have used self injury as a way of coping since I was about 20. I stopped for several years as I didn't want to hurt those around me. But began again this year as following a break up in a relationship I felt I didn't need to worry so much about others finding out. (I'm very careful where I self injure) I have been seeking help from my docter and mental health services as I'd like to deal with the underlying reasons why I feel the need to self injure or self destruct in other ways.

I'm taking Mirtazapine 45 mg daily that seems to be helping quite a bit as I'm no longer feeling as actively suicidal.

I'm quite socially phobic and a lot of where I'm at now I think is to do with quite a lot of abuse and trauma in my past.

I've looked around the forums a bit, everyone here seems fairly friendly and I'm hoping that I'll be able to use the support here when I'm struggling with my thoughts and feelings. I also hope that maybe sometimes by sharing my experiences, knowledge or opinions I may be able to help others when they are struggling

So a big hello to eveyone. I have to warn you that I'm more than a bit crazy, but hopefully you'll find that I can also be good fun at times!

Ooh not sure I want to use my real name so for now I'll use the alias Life-hurts

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

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

Hello and Welcome To RYL



I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. ~ Girl Interrupted

When you dont want to feel, death seems like a dream. ~ Girl Interrupted
