Hi, I'm new

[beeflower]

So I figured I should post and say hi. Uhm, I've been looking for something like this. The only support group near me in person is a city away, so I really haven't gone there yet. And, anyway, I dunno how I'd feel being like...in person, y'know? But uh, hi. I'm still figuring out the website and reading through posts and stuff. I hope everyone is having a good day and, yeah, hey

Hi, beeflower. Welcome to AS. I understand the talking in person thing...it can feel a little awkward.   If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  Take your time to read through things & post when you feel comfortable.

Hi there, welcome to the forums. I don't blame you it can be weird talking about something so private in group for the first time, however you should be able to go and not share until you're ready right?

Either way, baby steps! I'm sorry for whatever you've been through.
