Welcome, @Zargax!! Although I'm sorry you have reason to be here, I'm glad you're here and I hope you are able to make some connections with other survivors. That has made all the difference in the world for me.
Take care, and again - welcome.
Best wishes,

Welcome, @_Nikki_!!
I'm sorry to hear that trauma has led you here, but am hopeful that the connections you will make here will greatly contribute to your healing success. ❤️ To be able to correspond with others who understand the impact of sexual trauma has been SO helpful for me.
Take your time looking around! I look forward to getting to know you.
Best wishes,

Hi @Vitacry - Welcome to After Silence.
I'm so sorry you have reason to be here - those are never favorable circumstances. However, I applaud you on your decision to take the next steps in your recovery!
We're glad to have you. You are definitely not alone and I hope that being here among others who understand will demonstrate exactly that.
Best wishes,

Hi @SmilingThroughIt and welcome to After Silence!
Totally understand COVID making things difficult - many can relate to having to form connections virtually because the conditions of the pandemic have persisted. I hope that being here helps you to connect with others who can relate to your experiences. ❤️
Again - welcome. We support you!

Welcome back!!! I too am a long-time member that returned to reconnect after taking a break.
Glad you're back! We're here to support.
All the best,

Welcome, @Charlieag!
Although it can be scary to start to open up and to reach out for support (especially within new spaces), I'm glad to see this is a step you're willing and eager to take. This is a fantastic community (nope, not biased in the least bit 😄) and there is never a shortage of understanding.
I'm always just a holler away if you need anything.
Again, welcome. Glad to have you aboard!
Best wishes,

Hi, @satinmoth and welcome to After Silence!! I am late to the party in welcoming you but it's nice to see you're already making yourself comfortable here.
As Mary has shared above, we do have a forum where you can share your artwork/creative projects with us and we also have a DID support area. If you need help navigating, you're welcome to give me a shout.
Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi Jazz! Welcome to the site. I'm so sorry you have reason to be here but do hope that you find After Silence to be a supportive community filled with many others who understand. No judgement here - we are all on different walks of life and support each other unconditionally.
You'll soon hear from a member of the Newbie Support Team who will send you some helpful links. Until then, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help!
By the way, I'm also a big fan of the big cats! Lions and tigers are beautiful animals. I have three mini versions at home and one dog.
Best wishes, and again - welcome!

Hello @taofong and welcome to After Silence. You will find that many of our members have similar struggles, though no two will cope in the same ways.
I hope that being here is helpful and that you make the connections you seek.
Please let me know if I can help with anything!
Best wishes,

Hi, @livingmytruth and welcome to After Silence!
I'm called Cap and I'm one of the site's moderators. I'm also a survivor of CSA, rape and domestic violence.
Speaking your truth and doing so in a safe space among a community of others who can relate is so, VERY empowering! Please know that the shame and embarrassment does not belong to you; it belongs to the person who has given you reason to be here. I am hoping that being here will allow for you to make new connections and to strengthen your support system.
You'll soon hear from a member of our Newbie Support Team, who will send you a bunch of helpful links.
Until then, please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or concerns.
Again, welcome, and congratulations on taking such huge steps in the healing direction!
Best wishes,

Welcome to AS, @Lilo2002!
I'm called Cap and I'm one of the site's moderators. I'd like to offer a welcome hug (if okay) as well as let you know that though I don't know you very well just yet, I am proud of you for releasing some of your pain. It can be incredibly freeing and empowering to speak these difficult words, even if you're doing so by typing.
Joining a community like this one is never an easy step to take - I remember it being absolutely terrifying! Yet, here you are - congratulations on taking this huge leap into the healing direction and for finding that voice within.
You're absolutely right - it takes a village. 😉 This community has become a second home for me and honestly, I don't know what I'd do without the friends I've made here. I feel heard, validated and much, MUCH less alone. It is my hope that you, too, will feel comfort by being among others who understand. We're happy to have you.
You'll soon hear from a member of the Newbie Support Team - she'll send you a bunch of helpful links and will be able to answer any questions, should any pop up.
Until then, feel free to take your time looking around. I am just a shout away if you need help with anything.
Looking forward to getting to know you!
Best wishes,

Hello, @Meganificent - welcome to the community!
I echo everyone's sentiments and applaud your parents for being supportive and for playing a very active role in your healing journey! That's truly wonderful. You're very lucky!
I also agree with you - it's sad to have to be here, but it truly does take a village. We are glad you're here, and hope that being here among others who understand your struggles will bring you peace and comfort.
Best wishes,

@mini.finch - Yep, seems we have a glitch that likes to keep...well, glitching. 😉
If you ever change your mind and want a signature, you're welcome to drop me a line and I'll manually add/edit it for you.

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 to take in all the postings you've seen so far, so there's no rush.
You'll soon receive a private message from a member of our Newbie Support Team to officially welcome you to the site and pass along some helpful links and information. Until then, if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line.
Take good care and congratulations on taking this huge leap toward healing.
Best wishes,
Capulet

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 others who understand will bring you peace, comfort and healing. Please take your time looking around and jump in whenever you're comfortable!
Best wishes,

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, that's okay to do, but alters are not allowed to post. It's just much easier to follow and for others to support you this way.
Any questions on that, please feel free to drop me a line.
I am currently interning at the Gender and Sexuality Center at my university, and LOVE that you've shared your pronouns. I appreciate your doing so! Mine are she/her/hers. It's wonderful to meet you and I look forward to getting to know you.
Best wishes to you,
Capulet -
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 hesitate to give me a shout if you need help with anything.
Best wishes,
Capulet

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 you need any help.
Sending you strength and positivity on your healing process.
Best wishes,
Capulet

@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

Hi Neighbor!! I hope you survived the snow storm! Havent had this much snow in years and I got spoiled lol
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.

Hello, @Spruce2583 - we are neighbors - I'm in Pennsylvania! I'm called Cap and I'm one of the site's moderators, so if you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Welcome to After Silence. I'm sorry to learn that you're feeling stuck in your current relationship. I hope that being here and gaining support is helpful toward your healing process. Good for you on taking a huge leap toward getting yourself onto a path to wellness by joining the site. It's a very brave and courageous thing to do!!
18 minutes ago, Spruce2583 said:Also, what is an online community like? Do I respond to other posts? Am I too new for that? Sorry for all the obnoxious Qs, never even owned a MySpace before ahaha
Ask anything you like!! 😉 We all have to start somewhere when it comes to online communities.
You're never too new to respond to posts. Take it all in at your own pace. You can say as much or as little as you like, there's never any pressure to share any more than what's comfortable. We're an awesome group of survivors who are supporting one another and we're happy to have you.
You'll soon get a Private Message from a member of our Newbie Support Team, and she will provide you with some helpful links to read - site navigating tips, guidelines, safety tips, and more. Feel free to browse at your leisure.
Don't feel bad about being a mental health professional and not being able to see some of the red flags. Many, many people can relate to this and struggle with the question of 'why didn't I see these before?' *raises hand*
I think it's kinda like being in the very first row at the movie theaters....vision is limited when you are too close, and it's harder to see what's in the background. Don't be so hard on yourself on this. ❤️ We fully understand!
Anyways - welcome again.

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 any questions.
Best wishes,
Cap
