I'm new here

[diannreedjohnson]

Hi, I've come here because I have recently felt alone in my world due to the trauma I have suffered. My friends and parents try to be there for me but they don't understand what I have gone through and I don't want to show them how broken I truly feel. My therapist helps but I want to be able to talk to other survivors and hear their stories also.

Thanks for giving me a voice again

Hi @diannreedjohnson and welcome  Sorry you have a reason to be here but I do understand how it feels to have people around you that do want to be supportive but can't because they just don't understand... I also relate to trying to hide how I actually feel, it's exhausting. 

Feel free to reach out if you ever just want to talk. 

Take care!

Hi diann,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry that you have experienced a trauma, but you really have found a very supportive site. I do agree, nobody really understands unless they've gone thru it themselves. We understand and you are free to be who you are here. You are not alone. I am glad you find this step of finding your voice a positive and forward step. I do wish you many forward steps on this healing journey.

Mary
