Just starting my journey

[SwanDiver]

Hello,  I'm so thankful to have found this community.  I hope that by being a part of this, I can start to deal with the things that happened to me.  I haven't been ready for a few years now.  I hope that I can start to understand and to make sense of my feelings now.  Thank you all for being here and for listening.

Hi, @SwanDiver, welcome to AS!

So sorry for the circumstances that have brought you here; no one should ever feel that kind of pain, but unfortunately there are so, so many kind, lovely folks here who share in a common emotional burden.  

Take gentle care and I hope you find the support you seek.

Hi @SwanDiver, welcome to AS. I'm sorry you have reason to be here though. Your not alone in taking time to start processing your trauma, I took years before I realized I couldn't deal with mine alone. You have found a safe supportive site full of kind and caring people. Please take your time share at a pace that's right for you. Can't wait to see you around the boards.

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome.  I'm still trying to figure out how all this works and whatnot.  I'm not really too good at sharing myself with others, so I'm sure I'll be a work in progress for awhile.  Thank you again.
