: About Me

Merry Meet,

I'm Psycho Witch!

I'm not sure what Helium is all about, but I'm willing to give it ago.

Ive wanted to be a writer in a while, but my head gets to fuzzy and i cant concentrate, plus i get board easily. As something to do with the bipolar. I think. Anyway I'm gonna take my time writing something and hopefully you can all help to chip in. Maybe we can call it Helium by Helium's or something like that.

Anyway about me. I live in england in the North West, Mersey side, were the Beatles come from. I'm 27 and I'm a survivor of child abuse and adult rape. I am happily married to my best friend. I have two boys from a previous relationship and was a single parent for a while. I run a fantastic support forum for all survivors called Healing Angels, its only been up and running since February and its already growing. Its my way of coping, and i enjoy helping others.

I'm a witch, but don't let that bother you, I'm more of a dream practicer than anything else. I love dream magic, and I'm learning dream scape. I love nature, it amazes me, and I'm a huge cat lover, i have 5 furr babies and i feed a stray cat thats been here for the past 3 years. He wont let you touch him, but he comes when you shout him.

Well i think thats me, if you wanna know more just ask.

My passion is ...

Helping others to deal with the after affects of sexual abuse and rape, and any other abuse that they may or may not have suffered

I know too much about ...

living with after effects of child abuse.

My parents always told me ...

to be a good girl...and like always i broke the rules. I always do, i hate rules.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a social worker and to help others. I dealt with social services alot when i was a child and they always seemed to make things worse and judged. I never ever judge, never have and never will. My dad is racists and it annoyed me when growing up so thats why i never judge.

My favorite memory ...

is the day i got married, it was a fantastic day and everyone turned up plus extra. The place was packed. I didn't relise how many friends we had, it surely was a day to remember.

Why I write ...

is because its my way of expressing myself. If i feel low i write my thoughts, it helps to read back on things too, to see if i can change anything about myself. Its good to write, i wish i wrote more.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm not reading at the minute, i lose concentration and often have to read a page two or three times before it goes in. Its all to do with the bipolar. Thats not an excuse, i do read on the internet.

My first job ...

was when i was 14, i worked in the local newsagents, up until i was 16. I left due to becoming a mother. I went back when i was 22 but left again due to mental health problems.

My best moment ...

was giving birth to my first child, it was wonderful to see what I had created. My son.

Health & Fitness > Mental Illness Understanding self injury

Self Injury, also known as self-harm, self-mutilation, cutting, burning.  SI, is something i relate to very easily. I myself am SI, and believe me it is easier to start than it is to stop. I tell this to everyone. I struggle to fight the urge every time I feel depressed. Self-injury involves self-inflicted bodily harm that is severe enough to either cause tissue damage or to leave marks that last several hours. Cutting is the most common form of SI, but burning, head banging and scratching are also common. Other forms include biting, skin-picking, hair-pulling, hitting the body w...
