New and Confused

[cliche]

Hi,

Heres another "i'm new" message to add to the collection, but hi i'm new! I'm not completely sure how this sit works entirely but I was directed here by a crisis hotline. I've never blogged or used anything similar to this before so this is a new experience and in some way my last resort for help. I guess we'll see how this goes!

Heres a portion of my favorite poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley that I'd love to share with you all and hopefully it speaks to you as well,

"I am the daughter of Earth and Water, And the nursling of the Sky; I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores; I change, but I cannot die."

Welcome to AS. I am sorry that you have experienced trauma, but I am happy that the crisis center referred you to the site. You will find many kind and understanding members. With anything new, I understand it can be a little confusing, but we will help you along as best as we can.  However you decide to use the site will be whatever is comfortable for you. I do wish you the best on your healing journey.
