Hello and welcome here! I am Wanna I am sorry to hear therapy didn't work at your first try. It can indeed be a jungle, with all these different methods, and one not always clicking with the therapist of course. Connecting with other survivors helps us feel less alone, find healthy coping techniques and related to others experiences. I am sincerely sorry about your trauma and how it affects you. We believe you, you have nothing to be ashamed about. Our community is open for all survivors who seek a safe place. I hope you'll find what you need in a community here. Feel free to

This is horrible. I have a wicked stepmonster of my own, but fortunately I lost contact with her as I disowned my dad when I was 13... Her asking for a divorce minutes after getting the house signed over... very very wicked and I am sure there has be some legal safety against such plotting. Also, that document doesn't sound legal either. It should be a whole process... Anyhow, I am sorry she's so wicked and I am sorry you're living situation is shaky now. What a b*tch.

Pretty productive day. I had a work interview for the summer and de-cluttered my room for hours.
I will work a 2 weeks trying out the job in June. It's at an hotel abroad.

Hello and welcome here, I am Wanna Oh, how nice that the word is getting around! This is a very good place to get some extra support, as this site is quite active and you have many forums to choose from. What you are describing about connections and support is pretty much how I describe this site. A place to find contact with fellow survivors and sense a community. We exchange healthy coping tactics, experiences and support. All within the pace you'd prefer, you share what you feel comfortable to. Wishing you well too!

Hello and welcome here, I am Wanna Good thing you came back here, it indeed sounds like you could use all support you can get. I am proud of you for seeking help so soon after what happened, and standing up for yourself by using your voice. I hope you are safe from that bf and have people who can look after you. You decide your own pace here, when you want to share and what. Just know we are here for you, and we believe you. I am sorry about all of your traumas, that should never have happened. But this community is here to unload your burden, helping you to find healthy coping.

Welcome on board here! I am Wanna Not all survivors know what happened right after, especially since society provides a rather stereotypical images of how RA/SA happens. When someone we trusted hurts us that deep, we'd rather not believe it. It's a common coping mechanism, often ending up in us blaming ourselves. The thing with consent is, that it doesn't leave question marks. Consent doesn't leave us traumatized. It can take years and even another person telling us, before we realize that what occurred was out of our control. This is a safe place for you to heal together wit

Hello and welcome here, I am Wanna This is a safe place, where you take things at your own pace. Opening up can be very hard, I know. Sharing can bring up certain reactions as we open a box of suppressed emotions. However, as the storm calms, you will feel better in the long run. It is important that you know, that you are far from alone. You have a community to follow you through this, and eventually the good days will outnumber the bad days. You are a survivor. It's about finding healthy coping and a sustainable support system. To find your balances again so you can lead a fulfil

sick today. I asked mum to go to the store with my card and buy a cane of soup. She's making it from scratch... and with toasts! 😢

I got my grade back for one of my classes. I passed everything except one paper. My teacher has left me with instructions and I'll admit a new version in December. I did get the highest grade for some of my other assignments.

@Finchy I believe universities should offer re-exams. I know Sweden is very generous on that point.

Awn! Well, I guess things are supposed to change in 15 years, but you've kinda switched lives, in a positive way. I hope have too in 15 years.

Gosh Cappy. Seems like you've come a long, long way since. I was curious how you introduced yourself. Now you're about to get married to your love (or maybe you already tied the knots?) and finished school. An inspiration!

I've submitted my assignments today to be finally graded. I will maybe study some more today. I am watching two fur babies today, hoping they won't fight too much (they are two lady dogs and one is approaching her period, so she's extra fierce).

Hello AtYourBeckAndCall! I am Wanna Your introduction actually reminds me very much of my own here. I was 18 too, first boyfriend and he couldn't take no for an answer. And we are the same age, I am 22 as well, studying online college It can take years to understand what happened, leaving us with trauma we can only process so much at the time. I am happy to know you are in therapy. I hope it's going well for you there! Your therapist is right, a community can be helpful in so many ways. After Silence offers a safe place to anonymously share your trauma, in the pace you'd like. No

Hello, I am Wanna Yes, this site goes back to 2004. We have some veterans and a long line of survivors before us, building this site up. I am glad you've found us, nobody should be going through healing alone. When processing our trauma, having people around who can relate directly helps a lot. Our community carries kind members, and you are invited to participate in the way you feel comfortable with. You decide how often you come here and what you want to share. Please know we believe you. Us staff are available for support, questions or just for some chatting/venting. Just one PM
