Introductions.
Hey, I'm not really sure how to go about this. My name is Jill and I've been a cutter for the last six years or so. I used to burn, too. For a long time maybe a year in between the six, I was fine. I didn't cut, but I did drink and smoke a lot.

I'm only seventeen and I've written more suicide notes than love letters.

I decided today after a week of relapsing that I'm going to set up an appointment with a counselor in my college. I've done a lot of research and I truly believe that I'm suffering from Bipolar II Rapid Cycle. My family has a history of mental illness so it's not such a crazy thing to believe. Heh. Pun. I also have a tendency to try and make jokes in association to my problem just so that others don't feel too uncomfortable.

Yeah, I'm really at a loss for what else to write. I just needed to try to talk to people who are going through similar things and can understand me. I'm a really open person so ask whatever you'd like or don't. It's alright either way.
