How RYL Helped Me

[Mystified]

I don't know if this is a good place for this post or not. Recently, I've decided to start using RYL a little bit more often. It's been quite a while. Back in 2007 I was a self-harmer, and I was in a really bad place. I was a senior in high school, with my whole world deteriorating along with my mother who had Cancer and passed right after my graduation.

Anyways, I had no where to turn. Until I found RYL. Then, all of a sudden, I had loads of people to talk to. I had support from people who didn't even know me. People who understood me. Understood why I did what I did. At the time, I felt like I would never stop. Looking back, I realized how much RYL helped me stop.

There were many reasons why I finally stopped. But I stopped in the summer of 2008, after about 2 and a 1/2 years. RYL was through that whole process with me. In a time that I normally would have felt extremely alone, I didn't. I KNEW I wasn't alone. And in the end, it helped. All that support, all that understanding...it played a huge role in making me feel like I COULD.

Anyways, I just wanted to say Thanks RYL.
