Hi i'm Tabi, i read about here in my space and I guess i too am quite pasionate about wanting to help youngpeople with all these issues and self harm. i have suffered anorexia since i was 11yrs old, have unfortunately spent many years in horrible instutions that made me iller. currently i am very ill, but due to not being allowed any treatment. i do believe things can be different, as i have now learnt skills for anxiety, panic, flashbacks, am trained in DBT, which is excellent. i have a mish mashof diagnosis anorexia has remained constant, ocd, attatchement and seperation panic disorder, DID, PTSD, i also have a lot of physical problems like seizures and immune disease that seem to have been triggered by recent trauma. Anyway, i would love to be around, have a place to vent, to help motivate and keep peoples spirits up, just a little lost at the moment. best wishes Tabi

Sorry you're having trouble.  We're here for ya though!  Everyone hits rough patches, but we can get through it together.

Hi Tabi :)

I'm making my home in the "General" forum, for I've never been diagnosed and I think alot of new people may struggle to see where they "fit".

Not that it's the point of this forum, we're not segregating the community into "labels" just find home wherever, everyone is willing to talk and listen, well I hope they are :)

If you ever need a chat you know where to find me :)

I am also new and lost, nice to meet you :)

I'm sure we'll all find our place soon enough. 

Labels are only useful to the extent that they can help you to get relief from symptoms sooner. It can certainly be difficult to sort ourselves out.
