Thank you, @jazz101 ❤️ I know these blog entries involve a LOT of reading, LOL. Still means a lot that you took the time. I appreciate it and you and your support.

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, Capulet

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, Capulet

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, Cap

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, Capulet

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. - Cap

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.

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, Capulet

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

Happy Friday, everyone. ❤️ Just a friendly reminder to make time for yourselves. Don't forget - you're important!
What's one way you'll practice some self-care this weekend? 👇-

@Hope321 - that sounds absolutely perfect!!! I hope you enjoy your walk and your friend's company. So glad you're going to have the quiet time to yourself to read and journal (one of my favorites), too! ❤️
@Tapestry - hear ya loud and clear on the long week. Had one of those on this end, too!
I'm going to enjoy a little down time this weekend, too, even if it means staying in bed for an extra hour after waking up. I've admittedly been overworking myself. I'm also going to try to give myself an entire day (tomorrow) without opening a textbook or one of the several papers due at the end of this semester!!!

It's nice to hear from you, @Free2Fly!!! ❤️ I'm sorry you're not doing so great these days. I am always thinking of you and hoping you're healthy and safe. Thank you for the hugs, sending some back your way, if you'll have 'em!

Thank you @Capulet, I appreciate it friend recently health has been a issue it's been pretty all over the place most of my family have been vaccinated while 3 of us haven't cause of a government mess up.
Over than that mentally I've been up and down too mostly down apart from discovering potential other issues.
But yeah I hope the weather hasn't effected your town like the rest, the Canadians could at least send you some maple syrup with the snow they give you guys in America .
But yeah hope is well with everyone on here.

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

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, Capulet

@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. - Cap

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

Checking in with everyone. How are y'all doing tonight? ❤️

❤️ Can't complain, @mini.finch, thank you! Hoping you were able to get some rest last night and that today is a little bit better.
-
That's great @Capulet! ❤️ Thank you. I got some rest, but I admit it wasn't the most restful with some unpleasant dreams. But I'm doing what I can. Thank you again.

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
