      @Doll6 Thanks, I went shopping afterwards :) Think this will be fine.

      Sounds good. Glad it went well 

  2. Hello and welcome here! I am Wanna Every journey is different, which you probably know from work experience. Why our brain chooses to shower us with memories, or forcing reactions on trauma at a certain time, is a mystery. We can only respect that our healing will choose it's own pace, we can just tag along. Whatever is next, this community is here for you. After Silence offers a safe place for survivors, where you choose how much you want to share. By learning about other's experiences, we understand that we are not alone. You are not crazy, and grieving is a healthy reactio
  3. Today is a day of rest. 

    I will just take it easy, not work out more than a walk if I want to. It's a national holiday, so I am having the chillin' vibes anyways.

      That's good, Wanna. Rest as much as you can! That's what holidays are for. :) 

  4. Boy, I think I am immune to any new information today. I have done online classes all day, to gain the diplomas my boss requires me to have before I start working. They are all free, and don't require any assignments, just a minimum score of 80% at a pop quiz. 

    I have now gained 4 diplomas today, sorted my fresh laundry, exercised and showered. I am done! 

    I will now consume entertainment until It's time to dress up. Me and my friend will go out to dinner later. I've decided to make an effort since I mostly just wear cozy home clothes or my uniform these days. 

  5. Went to the city for my last session of work training. Now I just have independent online classes left to gain some diplomas, and then I am all done.  

    Having some tea and biscuits after lunch, watching legally blonde. Will do what I can of the online classes today, my boss said it should take about 3 hours in total. Might take a walk later or something. 

    How are you doing? ☀️

  6. Hello and welcome on board, BZ! I go by Wanna Yes, it is unfortunate that we have this severe trauma, but like you said, incredible that we can get together and be there for each other. As you seem to have settled in already, I'll keep this one brief. I truly hope you find this community to become a puzzle piece in your healing, we are here for ups and downs. Everybody has their own story to tell, but yes, we tend to relate in one way or another. I am so glad you're still here! You can DM staff any time, even after your newbie title is gone. We are here for you, whether it wo
  7. Ah, I have finished off today's to do list.

    I have taken a shower, changed my sheets, cleaned my room, deep clean the bath, prepared for tomorrow's work training, rescheduled with the hospital, and went grocery shopping. 

    Will just spend the rest of the day relaxing. 😎

      @Mave I went for a 2 hour nap 😎

  8. Big day at church today. We had a confirmation, cake, a church meeting and visited the new church property down the street. The board bought an old store to turn into some kind of youth center. 

    Went home, had two servings of lunch and slept. Went on a walk in the fresh, sweet spring air, did some dishes. Have now resigned to my room with some apple slices, dried cranberries and tea. Lit a new scented candle. Wearing my oversize shirt, thick socks and my messy bun. 

  9. Church has a summer party today. My tummy is a little so so, but a shower will hopefully help. I am looking forward my summer. I have picked out a pink knitted jacket for today, which I got for 30 crowns at a charity store (about 2 dollars I think).

      Have a nice time at the summer party! I hope your tummy felt better so you could enjoy it. :) It's always great to get clothes at a good price! ❤️ 

  10. There are some young Germans at our church this week, helping out with stocking and handing out books. I will join them later today so I can practice my German and do some help. Got off a late shift last night. 

    I finished off some details to apply for assistant nurse school, should hear back from them soon. Am in my step-granny's oversize T-shirt, just chillin'. 

  11. Hello @Margokav and welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna No rush whatsoever, you take your time to settle in here. Just have a look around, and if you would have any questions, just message me or any staff of choice. You are not ignorant, just new to having a community. After Silence is a safe place for you, where you share in the amount you feel comfortable with. This is a great opportunity to connect with survivors, exchange advice and read other's stories. We believe you. I will sent you a personal message, a PM, with some information. I will add in some advice on where t
  12. Worked 5 hours today, no break. I will be able to sleep in tomorrow as I am having the afternoon/evening shift. We'll see how that sleep turns out, woke up 5 am today despite putting alarm on 5.45, so my brain already adjusted to the routine. 

  13. First day of substitute tomorrow, these first two days were about training. Then I will have one shift to learn about the night routines for the patients, like serving dinner and preparing them for the night. 

  14. Hello and welcome here! I am Wanna I am sincerely sorry about your trauma. Healing is not easy work, but once you start, you get a chance to break the bad circle you've been put in. Please know, we believe you. It was not your fault. Every survivor should have a support system, with at least a few people to rely on. After Silence is a safe place with complete anonymity, where you decide what you want to share. You can connect with fellow survivors, exchange advice and much more. Take your time to discover this site. Us staff are always available for you, both for questions or some
  15. Boy I am exhausted. I am in my pj's pants, lit a scented candle and poured myself a cup of ambition... tea! First day at work, working not 9 to 5 but 7-16. 45 minute lunch. Well, I am super tired. I have the same schedule tomorrow. 

    So much to think about when working in health care, but I'm hopefully getting there.

  16. Ran my errands before lunch. Powernaped, took a walk and will now have pizza leftovers. Set my alarm on 5 am tomorrow (yay!), as work starts 7. 

    I got a text today about a psychologist's appointment tomorrow nobody told me about. You should get notice online or the mail, but guess they got a cancellation and I was up next. But they could at least have warned me. Now I had to cancel last minute and someone else could have used that appointment. 

    Anyhow, asked my step-dad to scan my grades so I can apply to school. 

  17. Hello and welcome here! I am Wanna That is a very beautiful thing, wanting to share your story in order to help others. You are much welcomed to do so, but no pressure at all. You participate in the way that brings you the most comfort. We don't always have to label it, knowing it was not consensual and traumatic says much. Sounds like you've come to the right place. It is never too late to start healing, and it will take it's own time. But we are here for every step of the way, every up and down. Have a look around, settle in at your own pace. If you would need anything at a
  18. Welcome on board here Punchbug, I am Wanna I agree with that advice, the sense of a community can be a life changer. This is a safe place where you can be anonymous, connect with other survivors and ask for support. You share in the pace and amount you feel comfortable with. This is also a chance for you to pass on the life lessons and experiences healing has given you so far. I am sincerely sorry for your trauma and how it has affected your life. Please know, it was not your fault. You can reach out to me or any staff any time. All best, Wanna ☀️
  19. I am so tired today. This week was intense, and now my body is claiming a day of rest. I am in bed, I took a nap and am watching some Netflix. I am starting work training on Monday, so I better be well rested.

      Please rest as much as you can, Wanna! You deserve it. *safe hugs* I hope you can get lots of rest and sleep and then be prepared for Monday. You can do it!

  20. Watching this fur baby today. When my friend comes back we’ll eat something Mexican. Probably tacos enchiladas. 🌮

      I hope you had some yummy food! Mexican sounds good!

      @mini.finch I made a creamy tacos enchiladas while watching the dog. Never made them myself before but turned out pretty nicely. So hungry after over 11.000 steps that day. I took the puppy for a long walk, 1 hour counting 4000+ steps. We went to parks, into a thrift store and through the city. She was so excited. Aside from that, we had several walkies throughout the day since she is a small breed, that needs to wee more often. 

      I usually avoid mentioning step count to not cause trigger, but this was out of the ordinary for me, so I am trying to paint a picture of that we had many, many walkies 😆

      Very cute 

  21. My boss reached out today. Training starts next week and preparing classes starts in about 2 weeks. 

    I will do my last shift at the thrift store at Thursday, but the boss at the store already handed my reference letter today. He described me as a good addition to the environment. I am allowed to put his number in my resume for recommendations.

      Good luck with your new job, Wanna!! You'll do so well. ❤️

      Yay that’s great Wanna! Good luck! 

  22. Went for a walk with my mum, made some sausage left from the weekend's BQ for lunch. Trying to get through a chapter of Jane Eyre, I generally like to go chapter to chapter but so much is happening! 

    Today, I got my 10 milligram Fluoxetine, meaning I will do half my ordinary dose now. Everything is being observed by my doctor, no worries. 

    Wishing a best day! ☀️

  23. Went on the countryside with my parents and brother earlier today, enjoyed nature as step dad did maintenance work on the family summer cabin. Cleaned my room. Showered, did face and hair mask, peeling and moisturizing. 

    Watching a movie and will make veggie tacos for dinner. Hope you had a wonderful day! Or at least something nice for yourself. ☀️

  24. Hello and welcome to our community! I am Wanna I am sincerely sorry for the trauma and pain you had to suffer, please know be believe you always. You are not alone! Having a safe place to vent, connect with fellow survivors and find advice is something I believe every survivor could use. You can come here any time, reach out whenever you feel comfortable to. You decide the pace and amount to want to participate. Check your inbox for your extended welcoming. Us staff are available for you, just send a personal message via a profile or visit the Help Desk for technical advice.
  25. Back home from a 4-hour shift at the thrift store. I like it so much, I asked if they would want me back for the fall. They cannot pay me, but I use it as a reference, I learn a lot as we have different things coming in and you need to figure out a place, prize and category for every item. I mostly stay in the check out or help them organize in the store. I did much of the behind the scenes-jobs at the other thrift store last year, being in the back and sorting stuff out, so this is something else. 

    Am now making dinner. Mum and step-father went to his mother's funeral. I was invited but declined as the only people I really share the grief with are my parents. The others are mostly nice but strangers to me, you know?
