  1. I joined this site about 2 weeks ago and am just now having the courage to post. I had another memory of abuse today and I haven't told anyone about it ever. I am tired of keeping things inside and have been attending a support group for survivors. Went to a concert last night and realized how much music has been a part of my therapy and I haven't really been listening lately. I want to get back to myself, but it is a challenge right now. I take it one day at a time. I know I can change, it will take time. Trying to show myself grace and compassion and not be harsh with myself. I hate that I s
  2. Hi, I am working on making my mantra change, I want to easily think of myself as a survivor. 141 days ago my world changed. And I called myself a victim until a few weeks ago. I am working the steps, which feels like it’s almost on the victim to take on not only healing physically but then also putting on us the weight of all the mental work we have to do, almost like an AA, NA, whichever, program. Work the steps. (This was the trigger warning, apologies if this was inappropriate). I finally made the call to get an advocate. I cried so hard after that call, but it was the first good cry i
  3. I joined this site a couple of days ago and each time I've tried to post, just couldn't. My sexual assault happened a very long time ago. I never told anyone about it, not my late husband, not my best girlfriends, not my boss (it happened at work, in a back hallway behind basement storerooms) -- I didn't even write about it in my journal. I pushed the memory very far away. A few months ago, after a very difficult experience, lots of hard memories including this one, came back. I went into therapy, and it helped, but now, during quarantine (I live alone) I've been experiencing flashbacks to
  4. Hello, my therapist recommended this website to me. I just registered today so I'm still trying to figure out how to work everything. I'm sorry that we all have a reason to be on this. It makes me relieved that I'm not alone. I'm only 7 months into treatment and still on the first stage of treating the trauma so I have a long road of recovery ahead of me, but I'm hopeful to have people to relate to while going through the process. I've only told my boyfriend of four years(I finally opened up about it when we were together for 2 years), two very close friends, and my therapist about what happen
  5. Hello, I’m Abbie. This site was recommended to me by a friend. I’m not all too sure if I’m ready to tell my full story as of yet but I’m sure that in time I will. I’ve got a lot going on right now and I think I need to be part of a supportive community like this where we can all relate to each others struggles. I guess I’m just here to say hi to anyone that might see this and that I hope you’re doing well - things may be tough for you at the moment but we can get through this one step at a time. Take care everyone x
  6. Hello, I am a 20 year old single mother to a beautiful baby girl. And just recently over the past 2 years have I come to terms with what happened to me. Just recently it has become difficult to deal with mentally and I here I am. I look forward to telling my part and feeling less alone in my recovery.
  7. Hi everyone. I have never used a site like this so I am a little anxious on putting myself out there. My past trauma has really affected me and I do not have anyone who truly understands what has happened to me and the emotional toll that comes along with it. I am so far very happy I joined the site and would really love to get support and support others. I really enjoy listening to sublime, playing with my dogs, going to the gym, and I am a college student. Thank you for letting me share a little about me!
  8. Hi everyone I was told about AfterSilence from my counselor my counselor encouraged me to sign up. this year marks the 4 year anniversary of the trauma I endured when I was 18 years old I'm an old soul when it comes to music. One of my favorite artists is Johnny Mathis his music has been comforting to me through many rough times in my life. Im currently a senior in college I plan to work with young people after I graduate Nice to meet you all 🙂
  9. Hello, I'm new to this. Thought this could be helpful. My therapist wants to diagnose me with PTSD and i don't know how to handle it or cope. In about 8 month I'm going back to college to get my bachelors degree in Marine Biology, which I'm really nervous about. My favorite color is red and black. Also thank you for letting me join. It means a lot.
  10. Hi. Thank you for letting me join the group. I am 35 years old, I come from The Netherlands, have a husband and young daughter. For the social safety of my family and the small business that I run, I din't use my real name. Hopefully that won't be a problem. Three years ago I regained the memories of the rape I endured by my father when I was four. I always knew that it happened, but the detailed memories were locked. My mother knew about it and helped to cover it up and prevent shame to the family (from the local community, family, church and workplace. ) What is worse, is that sh
