  1. @Nbed80 you deserve to be here as much as the next person. Nobody should feel like they’re wasting people’s time. You are not wasting my time- that’s for sure. I applaud you for making an intro thread for yourself. That’s a big step and I’m glad that you posted in my thread for your first post. Sending you safe hugs if you want them.

  2. @Nbed80  I completely understand about being worried of people judging you for your past. I’m still worried people are judging me, but I know that I am my own worst judge. I also haven’t felt any judgement from anybody so far and doubt that I will. I hope you post more and get the support you deserve and need. Here for you if you want.

    Aww.    Do you. Have torch  you could take with you  I'm glad your neighbour hood is safest.

    @missfrier I couldn't bring my flashlight cause that would have alerted my husband that something was a bit off about me. Luckily my neighborhood is well lite. But I waited a tad too long to walk my dog and she had a pee accident- at least she used my bathroom to have her accident in. Haha.

    So first post on any forum and instead of my intro yours felt like it needed a more immediate reply. First right now everything will feel all kinds of messed up, even replying to this is making me feel anxious as crap, but I am sending you the snuggliest of hugs, and if I could be there to walk with you, I would. I hope that you can take a few deep breaths push the panic and anxiety or whatever aside and show just how strong of a person you are and walk the dog even if it's to the end of the yard and back. Take a step and whenever you need it we will be here to walk with you.

    Wow...thank you @Nbed80. No need to reply to any posts if it makes you feel anxious as crap. Take care of yourself first- ok...that's the mental health advocate in me coming out. But I'll take your care and concern. Everything is messed up and I'm so anxious even though I know I'm safe. I ran into a neighbor from another street, a man I don't really care for. I usually just say hi and continue on my way, but tonight I couldn't even look at him. He terrified me. I kept looking over my shoulder to make sure he was continuing towards his place. I'm officially messed up now. I wish I had a yard, but the yard belongs to my downstairs neighbors. Having a yard right now would be so helpful, but wouldn't help me push past any fears. Sending you lots of care and concern too.

    Dear Alice,

    Welcome to After Silence!!

    I'm sorry for what you have been through.  I find it is easier to talk on forums then out loud.  Being here has helped me so much, even from the first time I ever posted.  It is still helping me - I have so much support here and I know you will, as well.  Here at AS, we are like a big family and our members are kind and non-judgemental.

    I am sending you lots of safe hugs! :hug:

    Take care!


     

    Thank you @missfrier . I appreciate the "safe hugs" lingo too. Back atcha. Though everything feels so unsafe now and I have to walk my dog soon and am scared to go out in the dark even though I live in the safest neighborhood in my city.

    Hi Alice,

    Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for what you so recently experienced. I am sure everything seems so fresh and raw right now. You have found a very supportive site tho, with many understanding and kind individuals. We know your struggles and your pain. You are not alone...and you will never be judged. Take your time to look around and get a feel for the place. You do not have to share anything you aren't comfortable with or ready for. Take your time, you will likely know when it is good to share. I wish you the very best on your journey of healing.

    Mary

    Thank you @MeBeMary. I really need to share my story, but have to wait until the 10 post count. I also don't want to spam the message board. I'm kinda a message board veteran from before FB...so I know how newbies can bug some people when they post too much too quickly. I'm just an anxious mess right now and can't speak to anybody in my life about what happened yesterday. My story will explain why.

  6. Hi all,

    So I'm brand new to all of this and really need support. But a bit about me as a person because this isn't the place to explain what happened to me. I'm actually a mental health advocate professionally speaking (using my lived experience)...so I tend to eat, breath and live mental health. I also love photography and visual art (mostly abstract expressionism/modern art). I have a very cute dog and have a good support network for everything else besides what happened to me yesterday. I'm just really scared and don't know how to discuss this now that it hits home directly.
