Hi @summer2009 and welcome to After Silence! @write track is right - the Share Your Story will unlock after you've acquired 10 postings. Until then, please do take your time to look around and become acquainted with the site as best as you can. Yes, I understand completely the typing and erasing your story - I've done the same thing. Sometimes I just need to be a little bit more ready. One of the things I like the most about this community is that you're never under any pressure to share - our only 'rule' as far as that goes is, 'only when you're ready!' It can be pretty overwhelming

Hi @Speechless! Welcome to After Silence. I like your chosen username - it's very appropriate, for some of us feel exactly that from time to time. I'm called Cap and I'm one of the site's moderators. You'll soon hear from a member of the Newbie Support Team and will receive a PM containing some helpful links and information. Until then, feel free to give me a shout if you need any assistance. Congratulations to you on taking steps to emerge from the parts of your life that you've kept hidden. That's an amazing and tremendous first step. I'm hopeful that being here among othe

Hi there, @Figs! Welcome to After Silence!! I'm called Cap and am one of the site's moderators. I'm sorry to learn of what's brought you here, but hope you've found a place where you can more comfortably converse about the traumas you've endured. We are a supportive community and truly come together from all walks of life. ❤️ We do have a DID Support Board where you may be able to gain some feedback on how to develop a cooperative relationship with your alters. Note though, only you're allowed to post on the boards. If you'd like to share how some of your alters are feeling, th

Welcome to After Silence, @Dee12! I love that cross-out of the word 'victim.' Congratulations on recognizing yourself as a survivor - that's an incredibly difficult first step to take toward the rest of your healing journey. I can definitely relate to trauma impacting many of my life's choices. It has taken a lot of time and patience but eventually I hope you will see that the choices you've made were likely the ones that would provide you the most protection from harm. No need to ever be ashamed of that. Anyway - I am sending lots of healing vibes your way. Please don't hes

Welcome to After Silence, @Minty! I'm called Cap and I'm one of the site's moderators. Sadly, I can relate to much of what you have said, right down to the narcissistic (ex) husband who never saw himself as contributing to our problems and didn't feel therapy was warranted, and that healing consisted of putting things in the past and 'moving on.' We might have been married to the same man! All joking aside, I'm glad you found us and do sincerely hope that being here will bring you peace, comfort and healing. You are definitely not alone. Please feel free to let me know if

@write track - welcome to After Silence! Though the increasing number of people who feel the need to join us is saddening, it's always a comfort to know that I'll never be alone and that I have thousands of allies as I proceed on my healing journey. I hope that being here brings you that same comfort and lots of peace. Please let me know if ever you need help with anything. All the best, Capulet

We did - we got more snow in two days than we did in the last two years! LOL. I ended up paying the plow dude - it was a toss up between being out $100 for a flat driveway or spending hours on end shoveling it up! Definitely worth it when we get this much snow. For smaller storms, I have my son that will do (almost) anything for replenishment of his Ramen noodles! 😄 Anyway - take gentle care and holler if you need anything. - Cap

Welcome, @Mermaid_hair! Welcome to After Silence. I'm sorry to learn of the circumstances that have led you to us, but hope that by being here, you'll feel equal amounts of peace, comfort and healing. The weekly writing exercises @Poppy_ mentioned can be found in the Healing Through Creativity forums. All of the 30+ topics are still open to submit to if you're feeling inclined to write! 😉 I don't do music, but love to write - so this was a nice way to involve our community in some group healing activities. Take your time looking around and please let me know if you ever have a

Hi, @Jazzyjojo and welcome to After Silence!!! I'm sorry to hear of the traumatic events that have led you to us, but do hope you'll get plenty of feedback and support from our members. Many understand where you are coming from and this community is amazing. (I'm not biased, I promise! 😉) So, I feel that your co-worker's behavior is very disturbing. Based on what you've shared about him, I'm getting predatory/stalkery vibes - even if he is not acting on this behavior, there are many red flags out there that I'm glad you're not ignoring. Given your career as a social worker, I imagi

Welcome to After Silence!! I'm sorry for the circumstances that have led you to us, but am glad you're here. There is strength in numbers and I'm hoping that being here will bring you peace, comfort and healing. Best wishes, Capulet
