Mim Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hello, all. I'm not comfortable giving away too much personal info; I don't want people in my offline life being able to search me out here. No offense to anyone on the boards, but I'm just not ready for certain aspects of my life to be public knowledge, if you see what I'm saying. Just call me Oddjob. I like nicknames, and I'm hoping that as I get to know people here I'll eventually be able to feel more at ease giving away something more like a name, but for now this suits me well enough. I'm just looking for a place to actually come and talk where there's a chance to make friends, and I can say what's on my mind, even if it's not kissing clean, without having to worry about who might read it or what they might think. Ideally I'd like to use this site to make a few friends, and maybe, in the fullness of time, be able to say it helped me make some progress. I'm a refugee from another self-harm support forum, but on that subject I'll just say CB has talked me into trying again and leave it at that. Let's see...what else? I'm a twenty-five year old American, living in the Midwest. I'm moderately artsy-fartsy; I sing, write stories, cook, bead jewelry, all that good stuff. The things I love most are my older brother (plus the cats he and his wife foster), my own cat, my file cabinet full of notebooks, and my headphones. I think the height of entertainment and spiritual expression is a live concert. And, just like everyone else here, I'm trying to get to the bottom of things: in my case, a cutting habit, a slight over-fondness for liquid courage, and the inner problems that foster those outer ones. That's it for now, I guess. Thanks for having me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 You're welcome and I'm glad you found us. Don't worry about remaining anonymous---that is perfectly okay and we encourage people to do that so they can be frank when they write about their issues.

Mim Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Wow. Well met, everyone, and thanks so much for the welcome. Corny as it sounds, I'm looking forward to getting involved here. ...You know, why is it that, as rich a language as English is, we have so few ways to say "thanks, it makes my day" that don't sound like a canned speech? Or maybe that's just me. i like you already! Lol! Hey, fantastic; the feeling is mutual, then. Thanks. I love my writing; it's shield, staff and bandage all at once.
