Please introduce yourself to the group here! This can be as simple as "Hi, my name is _______" or you may set up a sort of profile here for yourself. Please note, this is for real life details, so please don't use this area for Gaia only information. We'd like to be able to get to know everyone, so don't be shy!

I will start us off! I am Lisa, I'm 32 years old, and a mother of 6 children. I'm in a long term relationship with a man I love more than anything. I've suffered with depression and anxiety for about half of my life, and self-harm for going on a couple of years now. I am more than happy to help anyone and everyone, so please feel free to let me know if there is anything I can do for you!

To second - my name is Rainalynne but Rain is just fine. I am 18 years of age (despite how many people CANT tell X"D - seriously - I've had people tell me that its not possible that I'm a teenager and that I have to be between the ages of 20-28 ) HAHA~ I guess its the 'wisdom beyond my years' thing biggrin
I've had manic depression most of my teenaged years, though I've never really talked to my doctor about it, its under perfect control without medication. I also have multiple personality disorder, and that -too- is perfectly under control without the use of medication.
I don't have children and I've been with the same man for close to four years now XD A little bit more about me is that I'm in love with Hawaiian pizza and Chinese food, I AM A GAMER lol. I adore the FEAR, Dead Space, Bioshock, other games like that, series and I'm also a rabid roleplay fanatic - I go to several sites that include Menewsha, Ernya, and Gaia to roleplay and I'm awesome on all of them (LOOOL). I'm a rather easy going kid, its not hard to get along with me - I'm rather laid back.
So that's about all about Rainy kids biggrin -waves- toodles~

Hey guys, I'm Goddess or Kyra. I'm 21, love computers, am a little bit boy crazy, and am a total book worm.
When I was in juniour high and highschool I never really felt like I had control of my emotions, and I tended to get hysterical over the littlest things. My emotions scared the hell out of me.
For the longest time (about 5 years) I couldn't find another coping mechanism that worked for me. So I self-harmed. I kept on hurting myself whenever I got upset because it calmed me down, and it meant I didn't have to deal with emotions. But then I found a self-harming support group and writing, and I learned how to confront my emotions and keep a hold on them.
It's been 7 years since the day I started self-harming and I would call myself fully recovered, even if I sometimes feel the urge to hurt myself. I love my life, myself, and I've got a great job. I managed to make my life work for me, and I fully hope that you can too.
I'm always here if you need to vent, if you need to talk about anything or need some advice or a distraction. Just shoot me a PM.

Hey, my name's Roy.
I really like books and video games, and even though I'm fairly bad at art, I like it when it turns out nice. I speak semi-fluent Spanish and French; they're fun languages, and I plan to learn German at some point, and at least attempt to learn Japanese or Russian. My favorite books are scifi/fantasy, with my favorite author being Tad Williams. Stephen Lawhead, Sherwood Smith, Mark Anthony (Last Rune series) and R.A. Salvatore are also some of my favorites.
Mother Mother, Green Day, Eve 6, and Linkin Park are my favorite bands. MC Solaar is my favorite rapper.
I've been self-harming for 13-14 months now, trying hard to get past it. I'm transgender, which causes a lot of negative feelings. I'm also depressed and have a lot of anxiety. Have semi-abusive parents.
If people need someone to talk to, they can feel free to PM me. I may not always be able to help, but I will always listen. Just please do not talk about blood.

Moonbear7 Hey there everyone I'm Chris I recently moved to Germany from the U.S.A to marry my one true love, Im 24 and Im a musician also a counselor to teens and young adults. Thanks for joining! I don't myself qualify as a "young" adult anymore, but most of the people here are quite young. It's very good to have someone with some professional experience helping with the kinds of crisis that have effected many of us.

Hello... My name is Krista (Yes I'm a girl) I'm 16. I've been sexually, mentally, emotionally and physically abused by my Dad since i was 3-4 years old, and sexually and emotionally abused by my Brother, I suffer from quite a bit of things but I'll tell another post (: But I have been on anti depressants since I last tried to commit suicide (a little after summer) and I've went through 3 counselors within a year and still counting them.. I have a boyfriend of almost 4 months, Hes the only reason why I have died yet (: I act happy and weird and all the likeable personality stuff cause I don't like showing my actual emotions...
But when I eat I love chinese/tai food, german soup, canned veggies (Don't ask) I grew up gaming so I game when I can (: I do smoke but I don't care if I get cancer (NO SELF VALUE FTW!!) I also may seem innocent but I have a temper, but I do try to be nice. I don't lie to people, if they ask me something I will give my real opinion which can be harsh sometimes.
Well thats all for now I don't like making long introductions sooo
Tschuss <3

I believe I forgot to introduce myself.... I'm Naomi. I'm 15. I haven't been professionally diagnosed, but I have a slight suspicion that I might have Chronic depression. I've struggled with... physical self-harm for the past... 3 years, but I've been self-critical almost my whole life.
I'm a huge anime fan, including: Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, Phantom:requiem for the phantom, Black cat, Area 88, Code geass, Hellsing, and many more.
Music, is another passion of mine. My all time favourite band is Skillet, but I like many more, including: Linkin Park, Three days grace, Daughtry, Avenged seven fold, BvB, FIR, ETF, Breaking benjamin, Hollywood undead, Muse, Dead by April, Jimmy eat world, Panic! at the disco and Nickleback.
If anyone wants to talk, feel free to fire me a PM. I might not be good at giving advice, but I like to listen to people.
Thanks to the creators of this guild. I think it's great.

Hi, my name is Simone. I've been struggling with a personality disorder and dysthymia for as long as I can remember. During my fist year of high school I began to self-harm. Since then, I've been to four different in patient treatments, one of which was long term. After getting out, I decided what I wanted to do with my life- become an individual therapist for residential teens.
My New Years resolution is to completely stop my self-harm and enroll is social work/psychology courses at the local college. I am hoping this group will be an extra push in the right direction smile
