Gryffindor Girl Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hello... I'm more than a little nervous and not really sure what to say. I'm obviously new and I'm still having trouble coming to terms with what happened. Still occasionally waffling into bouts of denial where I can nearly convince myself I'm just crazy and nothing happened. :/ I was encouraged to join in order to help me understand that I'm not alone and that I'm going to be okay.

LookingforSunshine Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hello! I'm new too. I'm going to start going through all the new posts because I just don't know what to say. This is my first time in an online support group as other victim support groups have made me anxious and have failed. You are not crazy and you are not alone. I wish you well on your journey and may love and support help to heal you. Link to post
Painnbroken Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 @Gryffindor Girl welcome to AS! 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. Best wishes on your healing journey. You're not alone. Take your time look around there is no rush. Safe hugs if ok. Link to post

Hi Gryffindor Girl, Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for the trauma that you suffered, but this is a very supportive site. The members here are kind and understanding. Unfortunately much of what you feel is normal for experiencing something like you did. Please know you are not crazy and that it was not your fault. It's not an easy journey, but we will walk with you on this healing path. Mary Link to post

I believe we all have felt the way you are feeling, nervous, not knowing what to say. I can tell you this is a safe place and you are not alone Patricia Link to post
phoenixxx Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Welcome to Hogw..I mean AS. Hope you find lots of support here. This is a safe place and you are not alone. Link to post
rebeccam Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi Gryffindor Girl, I'm also a newbie. I definitely get how it feels to not be totally at terms with what happened. You're not alone! Link to post
butterflydream Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 hi @Gryffindor Girl Reiterating what everyone else has said- it's wonderful to meet you and very sorry to have to do it under these circumstances. I struggle with accepting what's happened to me, as well, and sometimes almost have myself convinced that it must be something my mind made up. I'm hoping to find more people who struggle with this sensation, and that we can all grow together in our ability to accept that what has happened to us is real, but it doesn't have to define us. I hope to see you around, and that we both have a great experience with AS! Link to post
Gryffindor Girl Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thank you all so much for the greetings and well wishing. In a time when I feel so, so unbelievably alone and hopeless it really helps. Link to post
