Need Advise and Support

[La'Niece2468]

I'm new here. I'm not completely sure how this community works yet but I feel like it could help me. My name is Dana and I just turned 21. I've had/have a rough life I guess you could say but I'm dealing with it the best way I can, by keeping myself busy. I guess I just need a little advise and support on how I can sort out what happened. I've basically pushed it to the back of my mind for almost 10 years but I still have nightmares, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, flashbacks, etc. I really just wants to forget it...all of it but I cant...

Welcome Dana,

I hope you find us as supporting and caring as I found AS when I joined a while back. Like you I pushed what happened to me and seemed to continue to happen to me from my mind just staid busy till I couldn't anymore. I got help and my T recomended AS as a place for support. I dont know where I'd be with out it most days. Its nice to meet you and I'm glad youve joined our family here.
