[Guest Julie]

Hi to everybody,

My name is Julie and I have been looking around for a couple weeks and decided it was time for me

to join. I was sexually abused as a child and a few years ago I was raped. I have never told anyone

before. I guess this is my coming out of the closet.

I had alot to say until I started to say it and now my mind is completely shutting down. You all

are so brave to be able to speakout the way you do. I hope someday I can do the same.

Julie

hi Welcome to AS

Sharing your story isn't easy, you can write about it when you're ready. Theres no pressure

[selene]

i'm afraid i'm not able to offer you anything more than heaps of empathy and heaps and heaps of love. speaking out for the first time isn't easy - you're much braver than you think.

lots of love from a fellow newbie

Take your time and post when you're ready. Most of us here will agree that it is so hard at the beginning, but it does get easier.
