Hi Claire,

Nice to meet you! Who recommended this site? A psych professor? If so, that is really cool. I´m a psych major. Actually, I am done with my bachelor´s now and more kind-of in limbo at the moment. I am visiting in Norway right now but I have to go home to the U.S. next week.

This is a good site. You will be glad you found it.

It was in the booklet we got out in our first lesson/introduction, as a resource for information...but i came on because i've found myself back in a position where i'm cutting again, i stopped for over a year but i gave in.
I'm quite interested in doing a degree in psychology at university but i'm not too sure because it's really hard to get a job in that field of work over here in the UK.

It´s hard to get accepted to a graduate program in psychology here too, but, don´t forget there are lots of things you can do with a psychology degree besides doing therapy. There are business applications, etc. So, if it really is what you decide you are interested in, don´t rule it out too fast.

I am sorry to hear that you have gone back to cutting. Do you know what might have gotten you feeling that way, and are you getting any help with it? That was what brought me to this website too. I am also a cutter, and I wanted to understand it and be able to talk to others who understood, and I found all of that and more here, particularly all the wonderful friends I have now. I hope you stick around, and that it helps you.

Welcome to our little cornor of the forums. I hope you will find comfort and some self understanding here. I find this place is a refuge where I can talk about things that other people can't fathom and often are too uncomfortable to face. I hope that we can help you and that you will stay here and help us with the new knowlege you will be gaining in your classes.

I dont know why i started again really, i just had huge persistant urges to do it and no i've never had help for it. Although recently i have been really down, worse than ever before, but it's getting a bit better.

Thanks, to you all, you're all really welcoming...i gotta shoot cause i'm in a hurry
