  1. 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! :throb:

  2. 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. You are brave for accepting what happened so fast and seeking support. We've got you. This is a safe place by survivors, for survivors. There is no demand or expectations on your activity here. Come whenever you want to, participate at your own pace. You can discuss coping, exchange support and share what you'd feel comfortable to. We also talk about plain life here and topics that are not necessarily trauma relat
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. Woke up with anxiety. I have had some breakfast, that helped. 

  6. Hello Helen! We've met in the other forums, but I just wanted to say how happy I am that you've chosen healing. That is the greatest gift you could offer yourself. Healing tends to be a rocky road, but it can be done, and we are all here to support each other. We believe you, and you have nothing to be ashamed about. If you've checked out our forum's index, you may have noticed that we talk about much here. Just take your time and let me or any staff member know if you'd need extra assistance. It is very noble of you to offer support. - W ☀️
  7. 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.

      First off, congrats on passing your exam! ❤️ That is wonderful news.

      I'm sorry, though, about the anxiety and emotions going wild. :( Have you seen a doc about missing your periods? Is that usual for you? I hope you'll feel better. ❤️

      @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 ☀️

      Sitting with you, Wanna. No problem. ❤️ 

  8. 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

  20. Today, my body didn't have it for me. I have been studying intensely and working out intensely this week. I am challenging myself to take the night off. I skipped studying this afternoon. I have already done all reading for the week, I planned to prepare for next week, but my brain didn't. 

    I think I'll buy a soda and a donut later.

  24. Oh hi Mel! I am not sure if we've met here. Anyhow, welcome back! I hope this site will support through whatever is going on in your life. I am uncertain if we have made any updates since the last time you were here. Other than that non-binary is now an optional category for gender in our profiles. Just tell us if you'd need any assistance! All best, W ☀️
  25. First day over. It was a good one. I had some candy and a mini donut as a treat after. I am so tired, but I am excited about my semester.
