[New here, looking for community :)]

Hi NumbEveryday,

I'm new here too! I look forward to get to know you.

You're not alone. 

 

[Hello everyone]

Hi Uncollaredgirl,

 

I'm new and I'm nervous too. And I already felt better by reading your post. I feel the same way, that I might say something wrong or accidentally hurt someone's feelings.

 

[Hey everyone]

Hey everyone,

My name is Danah, and I'm proud to say that I'm processing my trauma in therapy, after avoiding it for so long. I used to feel a paralyzing fear, whenever I attempted to "go there" in the past. But this time feels different, I feel really angry and brave at the same time. Like I'm ready to go to war or something. I've been on the road to recovery: healthy diet, medication, meditation, exercise, and therapy. And I felt this urgency to join a support group. I'm Middle Eastern, and the nature of my trauma is quite difficult to discuss with other people in my country, to say the least. I'm exploding with excitement now that I have a place to speak. I can't wait to get to know all of you, learn from your experiences, and be part of this community, where normalizing experiences and being supportive are the norm. 

I'm excited, angry, scared, shy, and nervous. But for the first time, it feels so good.

Hi Freyja,

My name is Danah. I'm new here too! I'm also on a journey of recovery, which has been scary, extremely painful, and has been making me so angry.

You're not alone
