Hoping for Hope

[LoveMyCat]

Hi to everyone,

I don't have a lot of support and was very happy to find this website. I was a victim of a physical and sexual assault (I'm sorry as I didn't see a specific abbreviation for those terms in the other post) almost a year ago.  I feel depressed and alone, and scared all of the time. I stay locked in my room nearly all day every day. I'm hoping there is something that can make me feel like I have a life ahead of me again. Looking forward to being here.

Hi LoveMyCat,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry that you have endured physical and sexual assault (SA is used frequently for sexual abuse, but abbreviations are your choice) a year ago, but you have found a very supportive site. You will meet many understanding and kind members. There is never a justifiable reason for anyone to ever hurt you like this. I understand how hard it is to face your experiences and to face life in general, it is not fun, nor deserved. It takes courage to reach out to others, so I do commend you on that. I wish you the best as you begin your journey of healing.

Mary

BTW...love your user name.

 @LoveMyCat, I am sorry for what you been through. I understand the feelings of being alone, scared and depressed after such types of assault. I am hoping that soon you will be able to live your life outside your room again and you can heal. This is a safe site to be with lots of amazing folks who can relate.
