Hi Josie 

Thank you, Ive found that youre right about the site being supportive. I only worry that my posts are too triggering and graphic sometimes. I apologize to everyone, i just cant hold it in anymore and i have to tell the whole truth before i spontaneously combust. Thank you also to everyones support.

Thank you One. I need to get all of this out of me. I have been carrying it most of my life, and now that I'm sober and continue to stay that way its time to purge. I know that I will never feel normal as long as i keep the truth bottled inside and this seems like the place to release. Thank you for your kind words; my motivations for becoming a psychiatrist with the focus of alternative therapy for survivors are various and my conviction runs deep. It's a way of healing myself and others like me. I look forward to diving in to the forums and seeing what i may learn. Thanks again.

Hi Jayt,

I am new here as well and being here is a big step for me too. I am sorry for what happened to you and the challenges you now face. It's difficult to function sometimes with such a weight, I understand. I hope you find healing here and applaud your courage in joining.

Im 31 years old turning 32 soon. I'm in college online and hope to get my PhD one day. If I can come through my hardships and help others do the same it will all feel worth it to me. Sometimes it helps to help others in need. 

A lot of changes have occured in my life recently. I'm going through a huge transformation and it's been difficult facing my past. I came here in search of understanding, insight, and healing. The burden is becoming too much to handle alone and I need help. I'm hoping this is a good place to start.
