Hi @Sylvan_cg, Welcome to AS!! I am so sorry for what the abuser/s did to you! Bullying is also a hard one to go through.

See you around in the forums. Take much gentle care. Tsabu 💕

Hey @Rachal1, So understandable that you are having difficulty managing or explaining how you are feeling after what you have been through. If okay, I am going to post some links to articles to help you on 'Self Care After Trauma'........and.......'Stress Management: Breathing Exercise for Relaxation'. Especially with the breathing part.......when we slow down our breathing, it helps our mind and body to relax. One kinda affects the other, if that makes sense. Slow breathing, the body relaxes......then that in turn relaxes the mind. https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/u

Hey @Rachal1, I am sorry you had to endure the hospital visit. 😢 No need to reply if feeling unable...........just checking in to let you know you are in my thoughts. Sending positive energy. ❤️🙏 Tsabu

I know it has to be done, but I can only imagine it would be so difficult. Sitting with you in support......as you go through this difficult time. Tsabu

Hey @Rachal1, Can so understand how overwhelming this would be. Have you been able to reach out for some professional help......maybe a rape crisis hotline or a counselor? Tsabu

Hello, I remember being so new to healing, quite lost and skeptical of ever moving forward. Healing has been a journey to hell and back.....but so very much worth it! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If okay, I would like to list some things that have helped me to heal. Perhaps they may help you too? Find a good therapist. You may have to go through several to find the right one. This doesn’t have to be forever, perhaps just through the most difficult or early times. For those in a relationship, couples' counselling may be a good idea as partners may take yo

Hi @Annalisa Welcome to After Silence. I am so sorry for all that you went through. You certainly deserved to be protected and for much more justice than what was given! Sitting in support. Tsabu
