Hello.  I decided to join this site in order to talk to some people who know what I'm going through as a survivor.  I haven't really processed what happened to me yet and I'm struggling a lot with keeping my shit together.  Hopefully someone can relate to this.  I won't get too deep but I'm having a really hard time and am experiencing a lot of depression and self-hate.  Thanks for reading and thanks for letting me know I'm not completely alone.

Hi MlleChoupette,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry that you've been hurt by someone. You have found a very supportive site with many kind and understanding members. Take your time and share what you want to or need to in your own time. Unfortunately those feeling are quite common in survivors. Nobody has the right to hurt another this way, and I hope that you understand you did not deserve this. I know these feelings are hard to overcome, but you've taken a step by reaching out. I wish you well on your healing journey.

Mary

Hi Mlle,  welcome to AS, you find you are not alone here, so many of us can relate to what you have gone through. Feelings of  depression and self hate are very common . It is important to know none of this your fault.:aswelcomesu:

Hello Mlle. Welcome to AS! It is my wish that you find this site as helpful and healing as I have in my healing journey. 

I am part of the NST (Newbie Support Team). What that means is that I (or any of the mods/admins/NST) can help/direct you as you learn how to use the forums. Should you have questions, feel free to send a PM to any one of the AS staff. 

You've taken a huge step in reaching out. This is a big step in healing from abuse of any kind. Take all the time you need in sharing. 

Know that you are not alone. 

Am listening and validating you and your experiences.
