Introduce Yourself! v.2.0

Not open for further replies.
Hey guys, well I am really tired, but I thought I would say hi, and introduce myself.

I am Taylor and I suffer from Bulimia with Anorexic tendencies. I also suffer from depression (currently in a state of numbness), anxiety (mostly revolving around social settings). Drug abuse. So on, so forth. I don't know if this is aloud, but I have not self-harmed myself since August of this year, and that was due to a suicide attempt, but before that I had not SI since November 2010. I am recovering.... hopefully.

I am super duper tired.

Thanks for reading my lame little pity party ;p
 
Welcome I_am_PLUR :D

Iv'e found this community to be very supportive, caring and there is much love here as there is much suffering. You have come to the right place I wish you all the best and hope that you can attain the same growth and personal healing and support that i and many many others here have<3

Honey, you and I sound very similar, I have had all of those problems as well. And that was no lame pity party, I'm glad you told us a little bit about yourself and I'm looking forward to getting to know you a bit better. We're all here for the same reason, to support each other through our various trials and tribulations. So, you have come to the right place :)
Welcome to The Dark Side <3

^that's nice to hear! So many can't get over that hump. It isn't a reflection of themselves but merely indicative of how powerful that shit hits us. I really admire anyone who attempts to kick. Its such a rough road and we all know that we're in for it when we make the decision. We kick anyway.

Much respect!

*sigh*

here i am, kicking AGAIN for the 1324141th time..why does it have to be this way..



its not the kicking part thats tricky for me, its the staying sober/clean thats so tricky..
 
Rock Monster, you just have to keep trying man. Each time you kick and have some sober time, you learn a little bit more about yourself and about being clean. So you get better at it each time. Therefore, just keep trying! <3
 
n3o is right man. It's all about picking your self up and finding the strength to go one step further. You don't fail when you use again. You set a new goal to bypass, and we all have faith that you can kick this addiction for good.
 
Hey TDS.

I'm Tripman, you'll see a lot more of me in the coming days in here. I've got some shit to figure out including changing my last name to my mums after my dad got convicted of pedophilia recently.

My life is a bit messy currently.

I mod BDD but I have been through 8 mental health diagnosis but most "true" of which are PTSD and sleep disorder.

Hope you'll welcome my stay.
 
Hey Trips, lovely to have you over here as well as in BDD! Hope you enjoy it here and it helps you :) <3
 
Hey Tripman, you are very welcome in TDS and I look forward to seeing more from you in here. I am a big fan :) <3
 
Hi, what brought me here is that I have panic attacks, anxiety, insecurity and social phobias that stem from my insecurity i suppose, been mentally and physically and sexually abused, and have had some bad drug experiences.
 
Hey Sappy, welcome to The Dark Side <3
I just replied to your thread, and your post above just answered one of my questions (about your anxiety).
I'm really sorry to hear about your rough past and I hope you're healing well from those bad experiences <3 I look forward to seeing more of you around the forum :)
 
Thank you : ) yeah, im a basket case of stupid shit all rolled into one person and its so hard to break free and be myself sometimes, but its getting easier the older i get. and yeah, i love this place so ill be around
 
I thought I would make an introduction here since I can relate to some of what I have read in this ection. I made an intro in NMI, and want to show some support here in TDS. I have been a drug user since age 12. I am currently only using medical cannabis for chronic pain. I have had some experience with the darker side of drug abuse. I have certainly experienced significant depression at times, and entertained suicidal thoughts. I have been lucky to have the support of friends during those darkest times, and the benefit of positive thinkers to inspire me to stay among the living. I doubt if anyone in my life really knows how bleak I truly felt, or how close I came to following through with my plans. I am not a religious person, but must believe that there was some other force keeping me from bringing about my own end. Those who believe in Christianity would tell me that I have a guardian angel, and I am unable to refute the possibility. I have come close to death on a few occaisons, and would not be alive today if not for some kind of protective intervening force. I have stared into the empty eye sockets of the grim reaper as it grinned at me. I continue to live each day as the gift that it is. I still have my down feeling times like everyone else, as well as plenty of good happy times. I do find myself starting the downward spriral into the dark places inside, and today choose to shine light into those dark corners to explore what I find. I know myself better for taking the journey, and know better what is within me. I have read quite a few thread in TDS and admire the honesty and openess I have seen expressed. May you find the light to bring you through your own darkest times, and take the support offered by the wonderful people here offering their experiences, and shoulders to cry on. Find something to be thankful for each day, even if it is just the fact that tomorow could be a better day. Thanks for reading my rambling !
