So I went out today to buy some hair dye (going to dip dye). I took a walk. Finished off a podcast on that walk. I also chatted with my mom and the guy I am seeing over the phone. I am now having cabbage and carrot soup and salad for lunch, with an orange as dessert. Soup usually comforts my stomach too

@mini.finch yes, it's good. My hair is naturally kind of auburn with blond, and I dip colored light brown into it. I also had black stripes which faded into kind of dark brown, so they go well into the new color

Hello @AnnieO and welcome to After Silence! You can call me Wanna I am sincerely sorry for what happened to you and your trauma. Please know that none of it was your fault, and we believe you! Family and friends can be a wonderful support by showing sympathy, but I believe a survivor also needs that kind of empathy a community can offer. This is a safe place to share, relate and get support. You can talk about anything you'd like here, including everyday subjects and just plain life. I hope you'll let us know if there is anything we can do for you, us staff always has doors

Hello @Lilo2002 and welcome to After Silence, I am Wanna I am sincerely sorry about your trauma and pain. Please know that you carry no guilt in this. We seldom understand right away what happened to us, and just getting past denial takes a lot of effort. Every healing journey is different, but I believe every survivor should have a community to bounce back on. You describe it so wonderfully yourself, silver lining is that we can connect, relate and support. You've probably noticed that we talk about pretty much anything here. You can share whatever you'd like I am so happy

I've been trying to get rid of certain fixations in life so I can find more peace in chaos and changes. Today's effort: Semi-cleaned my room, left it half done for tomorrow. It is okay to have some dust and crumbles on the floor. Now I had lunch and am probably heading outside soon.

@mini.finch I used to get anxiety attacks by disorganization, now I try to get over that
You can clean a bit at the time, no worries. Instagram brainwashes us to believe that everyone lives in a tidy, shiny home, but they just swiped the mess behind the camera 😄
-
That is great you're doing your best to get over it!
For me, I have trouble touching anything that might make it go "out of place," even if it is already very disorganized as is. So cleaning and organizing is actually difficult for me. It gives me anxiety to move things from where they've been.
Hehe, yes! That's what they've done! The instagram world really has affected our thinking. But we need to see what's really behind the camera. 😄

Today, I'll clean my room and might cook some soup to freeze in. Breakfast: My peanut butter and banana oatmeal with 2 types of corns, apple slices with cinnamon and some honey, and berry tea. It has been one week since my last session, and the next will be the final one, so I am trying to get good at this low key-life style this month.

@Meganificent welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna I am sincerely sorry for your trauma, and for the extra struggle right now. It is all okay to not be okay at times, the important thing is to reach out for help. That might not come easy all times, why I am glad you decided to give this platform a shot. This is a safe place to share and relate, as well exchange advise and support. You can share whatever you'd like here, and come and go as you please.

Hi, I'm new here and don't know what I'm doing.

@AlexandraB Welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna ☀️ Wow, you are being so strong! I am so happy you decided to give this community a shot! My advice is, to start with taking good care of yourself. You are going through a lot right now, so make sure you'd provide yourself with the basics of self care: rest, nutrition, hydration and hygiene. Surround yourself with those you trust and care for. Allow yourself to take things in your pace. Aside from getting a community, I always recommend to consider professional help. You don't have to jump into it right away, but you can look at -
Hi all! I'm glad I found this place.
WannaMoveOn replied to Survivor to Warrior's topic in Public: Welcome!
Hello @Survivor to Warrior and welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna I agree with your therapist, joining a support group is definitely a good idea. Even if you've come far, which I am happy about, sometimes our healing does require a bit of extra attention. Having a platform to express your thoughts and emotions might be a good way to get to know yourself better. You can share whatever you'd like, without being judged. This is a safe place to share and relate, as well exchange advice and support. Our members form a wonderful support system. I am sincerely sorry for your reasons to -
@Figs Any time. It was not your fault, and your trauma is not your fault either. It is easy to wonder if one gave mixed signals or could have done anything differently, but no, nothing excuses to take advantage of somebody and hurt them this way. You own your story, and we believe you. You are not alone!
-
Hi! Welcome! That's alright. Take your time, you decide what to share, how much and when. You are being very brave for opening up, and I am so happy you chose this community! Have a look around, feel free to get to know the site. If you would have any questions, us staff are always available. My deepest sympathies regarding your trauma, and wishing you all the best of luck with healing. - Wanna ☀️

Hello and welcome back It is important that you decide when you feel ready to start processing. I believe it needs to get done at some point, but when and in what pace is completely individual. Great to have you back! If you start over here but then need a break, it is completely fine to be away for an undefined amount of time. You come and go as you please. How are you feeling now? I am sincerely sorry about your trauma, I wish for you to have a better time coping this time around. - Wanna ☀️

Hello @Figs, I am Wanna I am sincerely sorry about your trauma, and that you'd struggled finding occasions to talk about this. I believe every survivor should have a safe place to let it out, once they feel ready and up to it. Here on After Silence, we do talk about different types of violence, but also mental health and recovery methods. Meaning, you are welcome to share about your experiences, trauma and your potential diagnoses as much as you'd like. Aside from that, we really chat about anything here. Good stuff, bad stuff, whatever you'd like to get out of your system or process.

Hello @Minty and welcome to After Silence, I am Wanna You are being strong for finally finding your voice and breaking away from a destructive relationship. I admire that you would stand up for yourself, but I also understand that this must be a very hard realization. You are doing the best you can, and I wish the very best for you and your children in this. This is a safe place where you can connect with other survivors, get advice, vent, chat and share whatever you'd like. You own your story, and we believe you. I always encourage survivors to also consider professional guidance.

Hello @Dee12 and welcome to After Silence, I am Wanna This is a safe place to share whatever you'd like. We fully believe you, and only you own your story. I understand that you have been through a lot, and I am sincerely sorry for all that trauma and pain. You are being very strong for reaching out, that is very important to do. I was relieved to read that you've gotten into professional help, which I advice every survivor to do. However, if you feel like that a certain method or counselor doesn't fulfill your needs, it is perfectly fine to share that with them. If you still feel

So I didn't get the job I got an interview for, but now my family and I have decided that they will support me financially while I take a break until the fall. I am figuring stuff out. Also I made oat meal with sunflower and pumpkin corns, raisins, banana and peanut butter.

Thank you @BrightSide, I am not ashamed. I mean, I did what I had to. I made sure uni would hold my spot and I got professional help. I don't want this forever, but sure is nice now. I've learned during a very short time that I suffer dissociation, an anxiety disorder and possible complex trauma.
I am so grateful for people like you in this world.

Thank you @mini.finch, I did need to hear that I deserve this. I guess this is a gap year
Wishing you a best day!

Hello there @write track, and welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna I have been reading your answers on this thread, and I am happy that you've settled in here and already share a positive experience about our community. I understand your sadness in it as well; It saddens me too to learn about other's pain with this kind of trauma. It can be a lot, but I'd like to think, that we are all in this together. We own our stories and got another's back It is never too late to start healing, and the process kicks in different times for everyone. Important thing is, that you've come pass den

Hello @siona and welcome to After Silence, I am Wanna Congratulations on becoming a parent! We do have parents and parents-soon-to-be on this platform. Do not hesitate to ask any questions regarding parenting advice or how to heal whilst taking care of a baby. I am sincerely and deeply sorry for your pain, and that you'd have to deal with this at a time, when you should be able to relax and prepare for birth. You are not alone in this, and I am so happy you've decided to reach out. You have nothing to be embarrassed or feel guilt about. This community has kind members who make a wo

Today I tried peanut butter and jelly oat meal. I have my oat meal with sunflower corns and pumpkin corns, mixed with raisins. Today, I added a spoon of peanut butter and some jelly since I don't fancy bread right now. It was good!

That's awesome! I love Oatmeal! I lived for a few months at a Buddhist monastery (in the USA) and we used to have oatmeal every morning, and my favorite combo: adding crunchy peanut butter warmed berries (from frozen) or plum sauce (basically applesauce but made with plums), a healthy scoop of plain yogurt, a little brown sugar and... a dash of soy sauce! The soy sauce is just to add salt and it distributes well into the oatmeal rather than salt granules, but it's literally a "dash" so you don't taste it. It's also great because if you cook the oats with the salt in it makes them gluey, so if you reserve the salt until after it's cooked the texture is way better. Ok, end of silly unsolicited oatmeal rant, your oatmeal choices sound delicious!

WannaMoveOn replied to sunflowers88's topic in Public: Welcome!
Hello @sunflowers88 and welcome to After Silence, I am Wanna First off, I am sincerely sorry for what you have been through and your reasons to be here. We welcome all kinds of survivors with all kinds of backgrounds, and we do not judge but believe you. You own your story, please know that none of this was your fault. Just coming out from a lifetime of abuse and trauma must be very relieving and overwhelming at the same time. You have gained the freedom you so rightfully deserve, but also have a journey of healing ahead. You are not alone. I am happy to hear that you've found a th -
I made apple salad with sunflower corns, raisins and cinnamon. I had that with pancakes and honey. Worth a try, folks!

@mini.finch another tip, mix down peanut butter in your oatmeal. Even better, with bananas as well. It gets like a dessert, but it's very nutritious.

@snmls Thank you! 🍵

@mini.finch I come from a family with a trend of headaches. I was on my way all day, so I probably had low blood sugar. Are you stressed? A shower could do. I direct the shower yet on my neck to reduce tension. Black tea is also something, and I don't know why, but licorice weirdly helps me.
Hope you're better!

New here, finally ready to attempt healing
