Hello, new friends! I'm Kate, I'm 18, and I live in North Carolina. I got back on livejournal as of yesterday (I created a new account, this one) to get support from others and tell the story of my recovery process.

I'd love to add you as a friend. :) I've read this introduction (obviously) as well as through your entries and you sound a lot like me... bit of background on me, I've got bipolar II/NOS (I'm not sure what my current diagnosis is? for some weird reason I keep forgetting to ask my NP...), I have EDNOS as well, I am an ex-self injurer (am 3 months and 1 week free ^_^ but who's counting? :P) after 6 years SI'ing, mostly cutting.

Mmm, can't really think of anything else to put in the intro, ahah. My profile has a good deal of info about me (whether that's wise or not, I don't know...) and if you want to know anything, well, if you want to be friends, you'll learn it through entries, or if you want to know it before being friends, just reply to this and ask or send an LJ message. :) Take care of yourself the best you can. *hugs if okay?*

I added you! :) *hugs* and I looked at your userinfo and I would love to get to know you more. So yeah, I friended you :P

I'm trying really hard to take care of myself and today is going well. It really is the little victories that count the most sometimes!

Sounds like you've had it tough, with your mum's cancer and your brothers suicide. I guess it wouldn't be helpful for me to say you're really strong for even being here (I mean, being alive).

I'm EDNOS too (binge/restrict, no purging) and also cut. Do you want to friend? Sometimes I write a lot about my ED and cutting, but I always give fair warning in the post to give people a chance to skip over it in case it's triggering.

It's actually helpful when someone tells me that they think I'm really strong. It makes be feel like I'm not just being a big baby.

You have been friended. *hugs* I look forward to getting to know you better.

I added you. I read through the entries in your journal. I binge. I don't starve anymore. I'm too busy binging. I'm trying to stop binging and get healthy. My journal has quite a bit of that. I don't post a lot on my journal about my bipolar. I guess if I had some bipolar friends I would. Most people don't understand.

Hello! I added you too. I think I binge more than I starve. But I'm trying really hard not to. If you ever need to talk about your bipolar, I'm here :) I would be interested in anything you had to say on your journal about it, as well. I know, people do tend to find it hard to comprehend unless they REALLY want to. I think the only person in my life who is really making a concious effort is my best friend.

Hey. I think we should add each other based on some strong similarities. I am diagnosed as bipolar II, former self injurer (cutting), and I was bulimic for a very long period of time. I guess I might as well mention that my mom is battling cancer for the 3rd time, so I know what you are going through :( I think we would really relate.

[writeitdownkate]

Oh wow, we do certainly have some similarities, huh? I added you, bb :) I can't wait to get to know you more.

We don't have that much in common, but i hope you find the support system you're looking for. I recently rejoined also, i think it's really important to have a community that won't judge you so yay for the internet and livejournal!
