This has got to be the hundredth time I’ve started this blog. I just don’t know what to say. I want to write, but I don’t know what to say.

But I don’t know how to put any of this on paper and get it out of my head. Everything is wrong. Everything feels so insignificant. I can’t even write because it doesn’t feel safe.

Hi, @Charlee - Welcome to After Silence! I'm sorry to hear that you, too, have reason to be here. It saddens me sometimes to know how many people this happens to. But, that being said, I am truly glad you found us and hope that this community brings you light and happiness! I also didn't link a lot of my mental health stuff to my abuse until recently so I know how that feels. I can assure you that your feelings are very real and very valid. I hope you're finding your way around okay! I'm here if you ever need anything Warm wishes, Poppy

I told someone new about my trauma and I don't know if I can really trust them and I feel so anxious about telling them.
If ok?
