Hi

Hi everyone,

I know I have been posting here a lot lately but then thought that most of you don't know me and thought I would introduce myself and tell you a bit about me in case you are interested.

I'm Kate, from Australia. I have just finished uni and am currently job hunting. I do have a past - I suffered abuse during my teenage years and the pain led me to SI. However I managed to stop just over 4 years ago. I still have thoughts and urges when I get extremely stressed, and to be completely honest have struggled again lately, but overall I am doing a lot better. I did see a therapist for 6 months about 5-6 years ago but had a very bad experience. I think if things became bad again I would seek out help but believe I am currently in a place where I don't need it.

I am really hoping to be able to get to know you I'm nowhere near perfect but hope that I can pass on some of the tips that helped me get to this point, and give back the support you some of you that I received from others around me when I stopped. Also, just somewhere for support. I was very fortunate to have a good group of friends to support me but they don't really understand what it's like when struggling.

So I'll stop now. Really just wanted to say hi

Hi Kate, thank you for sharing your story , it's always good to post.
Hope you have a good day.
