I passed my previous course. If my paper gets approved by my teachers and my peer grading, I'm transferring into the next semester.

You're welcome, reach out any time!

The job I applied for got passed on to somebody else, they sound very experienced, so it was well deserved for them. Just sad, that job was perfect for me.

Thank you @Finchy

Hello junmata and welcome to our community! I am Wanna Going to therapy is a wise choice.

Hello and welcome on board, I am Wanna Opening up to new memories is a tough thing to do, but while it's challenging, it's also crucial for our healing. I am glad you've found a therapist who you seem to get along with. In between sessions, it can be nice to have a place like this. You share what you feel comfortable to, would it be trauma related or just plain life. If you've taken a look at our forums, you may have noticed that we discuss basically anything here. It's not unusual to suppress traumatic memories, our brain usually picks for us when they get unleashed. We may feel t

I got the highest grade on my assignment, which is the grade I got on the class too! Yay, I needed this.

Hello Sister.L and welcome to our community! I am Wanna I am so happy you're investing in yourself with therapy and that you've decided to join in here.

After Silence was made by survivors for survivors, to give everyone a chance to find support, relate and in other ways use to platform to feel less alone. You share at your own pace, no expectations.

We have Father's Day in Sweden today.
I do not really celebrate Father's or Mother's Day, but I'd like to express my gratitude to have a stepdad who is everything my birth father never was.
-
I say a stepdad can be a real dad, even without sharing the bloodline. You have a real dad, and I am so happy he stepped up to be that father figure. I am happy you have such a role model in your life.
You may not "celebrate" a Father's Day...but it does seem like someone that special to you can be celebrated every day!
Happy for you, Wanna!

@MeBeMary Yup he is dad.

Hello Layla, I am Wanna Welcome to our community! First off, whatever happened was NOT your fault. It is important that you tell yourself that if you'd ever have doubts.

Okay, so if you click under "Forums" under "Browse" on the left side on top of the screen, you'll find the index. You can enter the forums by clicking on it's title. On top of the forum, you'll find a brief caption about what it is dedicated for and special rules for the forum. The Aftermath and Gathering Place are more general forums, and we have a forum called Simply Life that is dedicated towards topics that aren't necessarily trauma related. I'd say those forums are good to start out with. I have linked The Help Desk in my PM to you, where you can go for technical questions.

Hello Kekoa and welcome to After Silence, I am Wanna First off, I am sincerely sorry for what this horrible person did to you. Letting somebody into your home does not equal with consent to any sexual interactions. Here at After Silence, we believe our survivors and have each other's backs. You decide what you'd like to share and when. This is a safe place for survivors to connect, offer each other support and to just hang out. You can use this site to vent and discuss your trauma, but we also talk about hobbies, fun things, our passions and just life in general. If you've had a cha

I passed my exam.
I am too emotional to read my feed back right away, I will do that later.
It's not that I am not pleased with my effort, I wrote a pretty dang good assignment. I am just quite emotional these days. My hormones are all over the place, I haven't had my period in months, so my PMS is kind of just showing up whenever it pleases. Today, I woke up with anxiety, for no reason, and me passing makes me even more soft.

@Finchy It's okay. I was really sick mental wise 18 months ago, and even if I am doing SO much better, a few mood swings here and there are probably part of the kit.
They say you can wait up until a year before you see a doctor. I am actually okay with having no periods for now. My PMS is usually not that bad, and as I don't give squat about my fertility any longer, I have dropped it a bit. I have been irregular for most of my fertile life.
Thanks for hearing me out ☀️

trigger warning I think they went too easy on him
WannaMoveOn commented on asparkofcourage's blog entry in A Weight Lifted
First off, congratulations on your pregnancy! You'll have a little spring baby, so cute! I think the least your parents can do is letting you pick the time and place. If you want your husband to be there, they have no say in that. Also, yes, you own your story. Your brother needs therapy severely, but he needs to actually make a change. It is not your parent's place to ultimately forgive him. They have no say in who you tell. I was thinking when I read this: That sounds like something you could say. Now that you're pregnant, are you sure you want to talk to them about it no -
You're welcome, good luck!
