About Me
I used to be an extremely positive person and love life.. then a few years ago everything started to fail and crumble down at once.. i guess thats the easy way of putting it if you want details ask!.. hm then i got very depressed over time and started cutting. i havent cut now since november.. and plan to keep it that way. im just going to take my bad experiences as life lessons and use them to help others.. im starting college soon to study child psychology and management in helping abused women and children.. i love new chances and im seeing college as mine. im trying to get back to that loving happy open trusting person i was.. not quite there yet. haha..... i love to talk and i am seriously open to anyone who needs to talk anything out and anything i can do to help i will.. so message me if need be. :)

Life is a journey; one that can be scary at times; and exciting too. Going away to college means you are growing up. It's okay to be afraid, it's normal in fact. When I went to college I was terrified... I was older, fatter and a single mom of 2.. I felt I wouldn't fit in... I found others like me too. Now I'm back at college at 53 and boy was I terrified; I'm older than my teachers... Now, I've met wonderful people and have a small group of supportive friends. It's nice; open yourself up to this new adventure and embrace all these new beginnings... it's a new start...be anyone you want to be, but be the you that YOU want to be. Learn and relearn; join some clubs; eat lunch with a fellow student; take your time; joining clubs helps; you should look forward; not back... I wish you happiness and courage; you can do it... debi

Close Self-Injury
ive been cutting for about 2 years now. i havent cut since november as of now and i plan to keep it that way though... it is a daily struggle... if i think back to just how bad it was for me im thankful i made it through.. i really did dangerous things. often and intensely. :-/

- Talking Working / Worked
Close Teen Anxiety
sometimes i have trouble sitting in a classroom when the teacher is like lecturing or small groups where i have to wait my turn to speak. or presentations. i guess i get little mini anxiety attacks when i have to await public speaking or when confined in a controlled environment with other people. haha i know that all sounds weird... its something im pretty embarrassed about because my dad is actually a public speaker.. and normally im so confident... idk..
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've been depressed for about 7 years.. but when i was younger i really didnt know i was (haha if that makes sense).. It got dramatically worse around 2 years ago and thats when I started SI. Depression is still a struggle for me and I feel like right now i somewhat have it under control... but idk..
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
Open Hypothyroidism
I was diagnosed when I was like 10.. Ever since Ive been taking the same medicine daily. Im not quite sure if its had an impact on my life or not. (the medicine that is)
Treatments
- Synthroid Working / Worked
Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
i was diagnosed earlier this year. my doctor never really told me much about it so as of now i really have no idea what effect it will have on me in the future so it kinda scares me. part of why im in this group i guess is to try and learn more about it..
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
i dont hate myself or the way i look.. but ive always felt overweight and have had trouble losing weight. ive felt confident but i think the struggle kind of diminshes my confidence. so i would like to lose weight before i go to college and during college.

Open Rape
I in no way have been raped thank god. I just joined this group to help others that have. I'm studying to be a rape counselor who specializes in helping children who have been abused or assaulted or women. (child psych is my first degree). I've just always felt connected with victims of assault and if i can help anyone in any way deal with what happened to them I would.
