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 ☀️

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 ☀️

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ☀️

Went to the mass, sang in the choir, took the nap of the month and had Easter leftovers.

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.

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.

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.

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

Hello standup and welcome to AS! I am Wanna I am very happy you've found us. Opening up is a vulnerable step, and having a community to fall back on is a great comfort. This is a safe place for survivors to connect, where you decide what to share. You own your story, and we believe you. Healing is very much a choice, where we make our way step by step. It can be a rocky road, but you don't have to face all alone. We all carry unique stories, but we tend to relate to each other. I hope you'll find as much comfort in this place as I have. Please feel free to contact staff for questio

Hello Res and welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna You pick your own pace here, you should never feel any pressure to share anything. It is absolutely fine to use this platform to read other's stories and perspectives. There are many ways to heal, and many ways this community could help. Having a safe place apart from IRL life offers a lot of freedom. Please know we believe you, and that you are not alone. Many survivors feel isolated in their experience, but so often we relate to each other despite different stories. If you like thread games, you could check out our Humor and Sill

Hey Nicollette93 and welcome to our community! I am Wanna Balancing between the mind and the heart can be rather difficult. We all have to figure it out along the way, what works and not. However, we shouldn't dismiss our emotions completely. I am happy you've found us, as I think every survivor deserves a community. Here, you can connect with fellow survivors, share what you'd like, exchange support and much more! You are not alone, and we believe you. We have a Pregnancy and Parenting forum you'd maybe like, to discuss coping with healing whilst raising a child. Please let me or

Hello Desert Wave, I am Wanna I'd like to greet you too, and share how happy I am you've found us. I think different types of support complete each other, and having an online community definitely helps. Here, you get the chance to connect with fellow survivors, and decide what to share or not. We all have unique stories, but we tend to relate to each other. We have a Parenting and Pregnancy forum, in case it would interest you. We have many parents here, who can relate to healing while raising children. Please remember, that this was in no way your fault. You have nothing to be as

Hey JayO and welcome to AS! I am Wanna How exciting, I am studying to become a teacher myself, HS-level. We have many artists here, the Healing Through Creativity forum carries coping related art work. Maybe a creator like yourself would find it helpful. This community offers anonymity while you connect with fellow survivors. You can vent, ask for advice, offer support and much more. You pick your pace and share only what you'd feel comfortable to, of course. I think every survivor could use a safe place apart from their usual social circles, where you can express yourself freely.

Hello kannheals and welcome to our community! I am Wanna Yes, breaking your silence is a BIG step. You're finally claiming your voice and facing your trauma, which is both courageous and necessary.

Hello D.C and welcome on board! I am Wanna Traumaversaries can be extremely triggering. I think my first and second were particularly bad. I've suppressed them the past few years, but the date is stuck in my brain forever, it seems. I think our Aftermath forum would be a fit for such a post. If you'd like, you can post about it there and ask for support. Many here share the struggle. https://www.aftersilence.org/forum/index.php?/forum/30-the-aftermath/ I am glad you decided to join a community, I think every survivor could use one. Here you can connect with fellow survivors, t

Still not well. I feel quite under the weather. Pray these pills didn't mess up my blood pressure. I've gone for a walk, that is the first exercise I've managed to do all week. I'll have a banana and hopefully feel stable enough to clean later.

I went to sleep a couple of hours. I woke up and felt like myself for the first time this entire week. I feel like I could hug the world. I was so hungry, too. I went from ill and nauseous to fine after about 30 hours after taking my last pill, AKA about the time it takes for the hormones to wear out.
Don't worry guys, I will hop on hormonal pills again, but for now I have 4 weeks of being normal me and then they'll let me try a new recipe. I learned two things from this: I deffs need estrogen, I did experience the pros from this. But also, don't hang onto meds that make you compromise on your life, contact your doctor and find options.
