Introduction.

A little about myself and what I hope to achieve from this blog..

Most importantly, I am keeping this anonymous so as to be able to express myself about things that those around me may not be aware of, or that I do not want them to become aware of. I feel that I need an outlet to express my feelings and ideations that arise, as I am not one who likes to go to others with my worries/thoughts. I need somewhere to express myself, and to finally be honest with myself.

I have a history, some of which consists of:
- Drug/substance abuse
- Family violence (more so psychological than anything)
- Mental illness (PTSD, clinical depression, anxiety)
- Risk taking
- Self harm
- Sexual assault
- Spousal abuse

Some will look at this list and automatically think that I am an attention seeker; some will not. For those who do, I do not care for your assumptions. You have not walked in my shoes, so do not be so quick to judge. We are all flawed, none of us perfect. If you have not realised this yet - you have much to learn.

I have moved away from drugs and alcohol and am now happily living free from both. I am not straight edge, nor do I pretend to be. I have much respect for those whom have the self respect and discipline to be as such, and to follow what they believe in.
