Welcome to AS! Glad that you have found the site and hope you are able to navigate your way around. I hope that you are able to find the support that you are seeking. I love dogs too! I have a Chihuahua
. I hope that you find your way around the board. There are many different sections for different topics. Feel free to browse around. We are here to help and support.
I did see a bit of your other post and some difficulties you were having. This link is for what we call "Newbie Support". These are people who are able to assist with new members. You can click on their screen names and it will take you to their profile. On their profile you will find a button that says "Message" and there you can send them a PM (private message) where they can assist with questions you might have.

Welcome to AS! What you said was perfect. This is just a general introduction and I don't think that anyone really knows what to say with their first posts. I am sorry for what brings you here but I hope that you are able to find the support you need. You are not alone.

Thank you Wishin! I have reread your post several times and cried because for someone to say that they understand is helpful. I hate that we have both been so alone during this. I have felt so alone and lost because I didn't think that others would fully understand. I have kept it mostly to myself except for talking to my counselor. It has been hard.I am already seeing that AS is a supportive, safe place. Thank you for being welcoming!
Awww thank you for your words. I am truly touched and humbled. I completely understand what you mean about feeling alone, that is one of my biggest struggles. Most of the times that I think I found someone who understand and often it turns into another door slammed in my face or at least that is how it feels. I am glad that you are seeing AS is that kind of place and I hope that it is for you too! I am glad to welcome you and know that if need, I am around and my inbox is always open!

Welcome to AS! I am sorry for what brings you here, but know that you have come to the right place. This board is filled with people who understand and know you are going through. I am sorry that you were abused by multiple people, I can relate though. I understand wanting to just push it away and most people don't seem to understand that we can't just "get over it". It seems to be one of the hardest things to deal with though, this stigma that others put on us. We are trying to heal and find a way through and nothing seems to really help and then society is like oh who cares and just get over it. It makes it all so complicated and difficult. Please know that you can heal and though it is a long journey, you can do it. I know that this board has been a huge help for me in my journey and I would not be here today if it was not for certain people on this board. Take your time and look around the board, you can post when you feel comfortable, there is no pressure. Know that you are heard and supported. If you need an ear, my inbox is always open. Thinking of you!

Welcome to AS! I can really relate to what you wrote. I never told my family what happened and my friends did not offer support. I would have been lost without this site. I hope that you find it helpful. It is filled with understanding and kind people. You are not alone. If you need an ear I am around. Take your time and the best part of this site is you are able to come and go as you need and as you feel comfortable. Welcome again!
