Hi

[Tonyia143]

I am new to this group and even thinking about writing this has my anxiety level amped. I do want things to get better though, so I have to try different ways to achieve that. Thanks for offering me this opportunity here.

Hello Tonyia,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for the trauma you have suffered, but you have found a very supportive site. I had that same anxiety when I first came, but it's ok, really. Take your time and look around. There is never pressure to say or write anything you aren't ready or comfortable with. Taking steps to help yourself is something to feel good about. I wish you well on this healing journey.

Mary
