  1. Hello Bridget! Welcome on board I myself live in a cold icy country up north. After Silence welcomes survivors of any background and situation. I am sorry to hear somebody has been so cruel to you. Please practice self-care, and try and take one day the time. You are invited to share whatever you'd like here, this community is a safe space to start out your healing journey. You are not alone, and we believe you There will come a day, where you feel okay again. Please let me know if you'd need some extra support, I am only one PM away. All best, W ☀️
  2. Hello and welcome back here I am not certain we've met, I have been here for a bit over 5 years now. Time flies by! I live in a country with much hockey too, but I have never been into it. I am sorry therapy hasn't kicked in for you. It can be very tricky to find the right method and the right T. I hope however this community will assist your healing a bit, as using our words sometimes can help us unveil issues and think more clearly. AS is here for you, whenever you want! You are not alone All best W ☀️
  3. Hello and welcome to AS, I am Wanna I am glad you found us, it sounds indeed like you could use some extra support right now. When coping with this severe of a trauma, we can feel isolated in our situation at times, or feel embarrassed about the situation. This community is a safe space for you to find your voice, share what you'd like to and connect with fellow survivors. You are not alone. We believe you. Sending sunshine ☀️
  4. Hello begonia and welcome on board! I am Wanna What you are describing is very normal, once we get the chance to read other's stories and experiences, we can relate and feel less alone. We all have our unique stories, but survivors so often tend to understand each other. This is a safe spot for you to connect with fellow survivors, get a sense of a community and participate at your own terms. Healing is a big milestone. I am happy you are confronting that fear and darkness, because you deserve to move past it. Healing can be a rocky road, but whatever lies ahead, you are not alone.
  5.  I've been pulling two night shifts this week aside from my essay writing. I told my boss I'm taking a break for 3 weeks so I can finish up before the deadline in peace.

      Good idea Wanna, well done for setting boundaries so you don't burnout by doing it all at once. Wishing you luck with the essay writing 💛 I had one due yesterday that I've asked for an extension on so I'm also trying to get that done the next two weeks!

      @Pink Sky Hey Pink, it's wiser to take the time you need and deliver a good essay than a half baked one just to get it overwith. My teacher gave us the option to either have it graded this semester or in August, and I picked in May so I can improve it over summer in case I fail. 

  6. Saying it gets more comfortable would be the wrong words, but by starting out here, you can start feeling less tense and more confident about the subject.
  7. I've decided to adopt a baby goat. It will be nice for me to have somebody to care of. I am also looking forward all the free goat cheese I'll have eventually.

  8. Any time, Claire. I think it's great too, that us survivors have a safe and anonymous way to connect. I myself appreciate that I can say whatever here without it affecting me IRL, like some sensitive information and venting.
  9. Hello jelly8 and welcome on board! I am Wanna This community offers a safe place for survivors to connect, exchange support, advice and have the opportunity to use their voices. You decide what to share and when, we're here for you. Aside from trauma related topics, you can talk about day-to-day life here too, what's on your mind and how you feel. We have a Healing Through Creativity forum you could check out, where some of our artists here post their work. I do hope this will be the extra addition in your support system that you are looking for. I am glad to hear you have people s
  10. Hey Clair Marie! We've met in PM's, but I'd like to welcome you officially Our community strives to make survivors feel like they belong and are heard. While the circumstances are unfortunate, we can turn the ship around by creating a support system, relating to one another. Coping mechanisms and trauma are definitely reoccurring themes here. We also have some fun here, share our daily life and just chit chat about anything. You decide what to share, of course. You know where to find me if you'd have questions or need some extra company. I am happy you've found us. W ☀️
  11. Went to the mass, sang in the choir, took the nap of the month and had Easter leftovers. 

  12. Hello boppysprite! I am Wanna If this community will serve you as it has me, then absolutely! After Silence carries kind members, and gives you the chance to connect with fellow survivors anonymously. You can exchange support, vent, participate in various discussions and share (what you'd feel comfortable to). We also have fun here, with a lot of games in the Humor and Silliness forum. If you are creative, the Healing Through Creativity could be worth your while. Please let us staff know if we can be at any help. I'll send you a PM with some info, so please check your inbox.
  13. I got a call back for a summer job today. They want me to come in for training. I'm going back into elderly care, just a different clinic.

      Congrats!!! 😄 

  14. Ahhh, finally Friday! 

    My teachers failed to inform me properly about the criteria for an assignment, so was up until 3.30 AM and did it all over. My teacher already went through it and said I passed. Luckily, it was only a maximum of 5 pages. 

    I'm 24 tomorrow. I guess I am supposed to be an adult now. 

  15. Hello Becky3, and welcome on board! I am Wanna It's completely normal to feel isolated by trauma, and we may think that nobody could relate to the bizarre and hurtful memories. We all carry a unique story, but as survivors, we can relate to each other. AS is a safe place for you to find support and advice, and offer some of your own too. You decide what to share, and how often you come here. Please know we believe you, and that you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. We have many parents at this forum. If you'd like to discuss parenting while healing, we have a Pregnancy a
