Hello camphore, I am Wanna. It is crucial that you take care of yourself now. I understand that this must feel surreal. Make sure to take care of yourself with the basics of self care - rest, hydration and nutrition. After Silence is here for you. You deserve to be heard, and we believe you. None of what happened to you in the past or recently is your fault. You have nothing to feel guilty or shame about. I wish you my warmest welcomes, and hope you'll reach out whenever you feel like it. Stay safe - Wanna ☀️

New here. Stepping in the right direction.

Hello Survivor2021, I am Wanna. I wanted to wish you my warmest welcomes to this platform. You have my respect and sympathies. Taking that first step out of denial and reaching out has so much work behind it. It is such an effort, I want you to know that. In that first critical stage, our emotions, reactions and memories tend to take a toll on us, to say the least. Everything takes more energy, focusing is hard, relationships may turn difficult. Emotional outbursts, such as crying and range, as well addiction are common too. You are not alone, and you are doing the right thing by t -

Hello Little Bo-Peep, I am Wanna Welcome to After Silence. Words can't describe how sincerely sorry I am for your trauma, and how the situation has affected your relationship with your father. It is important that you know, that none of this is your fault. Coping is not easy, and before we find a healthy way, it might sadly take toll on our close relationships. There are ways for survivors and their near ones to get through, I hope you'll eventually experience that. I hope you will find this site to become your safe place to share whatever you'd like, and to receive some advi

WannaMoveOn replied to Muse1416's topic in Public: Welcome!
Hello Muse1416! I am Wanna First off, my warmest welcomes to this platform. After Silence welcomes all kinds of survivors, and our members form a wonderful community. This is a place to vent, chat, receive support and feel safe. I am sincerely sorry for your trauma and how it has affected you. Please know that we will believe you, and of course, don't judge. Joining a community, especially for the first time, can make you unsure how to start. But don't worry, you take it at your own pace. You decide what you'd like to share and when.

My psychologist checked me for PTSD and depression today. Since I can sense joyfulness and am not having severe flashbacks, he wrote those possibilities off. He wants to see me again next week, so hopefully we'll find a conclusion to what I can do. I am just a bit scared, that I would be considered too well, because I am not sure how I will manage on my own.

@BrightSide I am being as honest as possible, but apparently (according to the psychologist) you feel sad about everything when depressed. I might not agree, but that is what was required for a clinical diagnosis according to him.
We'll see, thanks for encouraging me!

@Free2Fly Feel better

Hello simply, I am Wanna What happened to you is not your fault. I can say that right away without details. It is never your fault. If you are unsure about whether you gave consent or not, that is not right. You should always be sure you was safe and respected. If somebody has done something to you, resulting to the point of you considering it as SA/R/harassment, that is a big deal. Nobody should have to go through with this. It doesn't matter how "normal" this would be, that doesn't make it any less serious. I am sincerely sorry for your reasons to be here, but hopefully Aft

Hello kemosabe, I am Wanna Welcome to After Silence! It can take a while before one feels ready to share. Retelling traumatic experiences and being vulnerable does not come easy to most survivors, but every survivor deserves a safe place to do so. I am happy to hear that you acknowledge our members to be kind, and that you feel less alone. This platform is a place to share, vent, exchange experiences and support. All within what you feel comfortable with. You might have noticed that we also discuss mental health among other things, like PTSD. You can talk about that as well if you'

Hello BBAnn, I am Wanna Welcome to After Silence! First off, I am sincerely sorry for your trauma and all that comes with it. I am so happy you found us, that you've gotten professional help and that your partner is understanding. Having a community sort of completes the system, I believe. I recommend every survivor to find one. With this platform, you can find other survivors to exchange experiences, support and advice. You choose what to share and how much. You can talk about anything here actually. Being nervous in the beginning is totally fine, this is after all a crucial step.

I called the clinic again, and they offered me to come in tomorrow at 9. I am so grateful right now.

@MeBeMary Thank you, I just had it. We'll meet again next week.

My psychologist decided to move our appointment two weeks earlier since he considered my condition being critical enough. Although I have exams that day, but we could meed about one week earlier. At least he takes me seriously then. I am hanging in there, just wondering how to manage this concept we call "life". It's a tricky business.
TW: Anxiety
Tried to study, but my brain released adrenaline which affected my vision. I however am planning on some studying after dinner.

@Enigma87 Of course, I'd like that
Things just tend to be nothing or everything to me, it seems. Sometimes I am cheerful and feel like life is just out there to be explored, other days I am just meh. But at least I have a professional for that soon. ❤️

@MeBeMary Thank you. My brain just kind of decides "it's all or nothing", so either I am fine or I kind of fall a bit. Will try to make this day productive. I wish you a wonderful Friday.

Hello Bee! Welocme to After Silence I know Discord, but never thought of the idea to find a group for survivors through that platform. If there is something that is comparable, it's probably that you can be fully anonymous here just as in Discord. You decide what to share and what you'd like to talk about. This is a place to get empathy, relate, exchange advice and much more! I am 20 myself, studying to become an agronomist. You can PM me any time. Best wishes, and stay safe - Wanna ☀️

So I did at least a couple of calculation assignments today. I did not attend full classes because of anxiety attacks, and a nurse at my clinic advice me to go to the ER if I consider my situation unbearable. My session has been moved to 2 weeks earlier, at the same day as my exam, but I have asked my supervising teacher if I could do it another time.
-
I am not sure if I did well today or not.
I didn't attend many classes. I tried one this morning, but ended up with an anxiety attack and laid down to do some breathing exercises. Then I had lunch, another class, but got interrupted because the clinic called, so I could get an appointment ASAP with an psychologist. Then I went on a walk, came back, sat a full class.
Then, I had dinner, exercised, cleaned the bathroom and talked to a friend for almost an hour. Now I sit here with some homework again at 11 pm. I think I wasn't much of a student today... but at least I tried...

Hello Salem! I am Wanna, nice to meet you Very, very good thing that you decided to try out a community. If you want to browse for different advice and receive support, I'd say this place is ideal. We have a wide variety of forums and discuss anything here. Mental health, coping mechanism, recovery and relationships are just a few examples of frequent topics. I am happy to hear that you feel grateful for your partner. Combining an unprocessed trauma with a relationship can be very difficult and feel complicated. By opening up here though, it might become easier to discuss your stru

@h-o-p-e Having people question your credibility when it comes to such traumatic issues is jarring. I am sad to hear that nobody believes you. That will change with this community, you deserve that!
