Hello

[Kyne]

I'm not entirely sure what to put here, but I figured I should say hi all the same.

I'm Kyne, I've never sought out a support group before, but with how things have been lately I figured there was no harm in trying now.

Any tips on how to begin on this site would be more than welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello!

I'm new too. This is my first time in an online support group as well. I don't have any tips, I'm just browsing and reading. I wish you well on your journey and may love and support help to heal you.

[Kyne]

Thank you, Sunshine, I hope that you find what you need here too!

Hey Kyne and Sunshine!

I'm also new and never joined a support group or anything. So I can definitely relate. I def feel a little awkward , but hopefully it'll help. 

Thanks for the post.

Welcome Stuck. Yeah I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and nervous. I've read a lot of the rules and some posts. It feels like a safe place for me to start. I hope this works for you too!

[StuckInPlace18]

Thanks Sunshine! I def understand that feeling of being overwhelmed. It gets a little too much to bear sometimes and can feel like I'm going crazy?? Idk maybe I am crazy lol. But I hope this works for you too :).

welcome to AS @Kyne, I am so sorry for the reason that brought you here. You've found a supportive place with friendly, understanding people and there is no judgement.  Take your time look around. Best wishes on your healing journey.  You're not alone.  

[LookingforSunshine]

You're not crazy, just overwhelmed with emotion. I think the people here are going to be a big support in our healing. Safe *hugs* if ok.

Forgot the *hugs* rule.

Thanks Sunshine! Let me know if you ever wanna talk about anything. Happy to help anyway I can! 

[Kyne]

Hey Stuck, I think everybody feels a little awkward at first - at least I do, too - but no doubt that will pass. Opening up in a safe environment, with others who understand, could only bring about positives right?

 

Thank you Reglois, and Painnbroken. I plan on having a look around the various forums, and finding my feet. I appreciate the warm welcome.

[StuckInPlace18]

Thanks @Kyne.

Yeah I suppose your right, that's a pretty good point!

If you ever need anything or wanna talk let me know. Us newbies gotta stick together right lol.

Hi Kyne,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for what brings you here, but you have found a very supportive site. You will find there is a difference when you have others who do understand. Your introduction is perfect, as we encourage general information in our public forums. As to how to begin, Painnbroken gave you the best advice...to look around. It can be a little overwhelming at first, but it does get easier. I do wish you the best as you walk on this healing journey.

Mary

Hi, Kyne, and welcome! 

[patriciag]

Hi Kyne , welcome to AS. You find support here and you are not alone in your feelings.

Welcome, Kyne. It is normal to feel unsure where to start. I thought I would never get the hang of things, but after a while you figure out which parts of the forum appeal most to you, and where you want to spend the most time. In general, Gathering Place and Aftermath are the two forums that get used the most. I hope you find lots of support here.

I'm a newbie too and have no idea what I'm doing, but it's nice to have a place where you feel like you're not alone. This seems like a special community. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Hi Kyne! I'm new as well; welcome to AS! 

[butterflydream]

hi @Kyne I'm new (and shy) as well, so I don't have any tips yet, but I'm excited to be here with you, and hope that we're both going to have a good time growing and healing here. 

I look forward to seeing you around!
