Nervous but Ready to Heal

[jessibear]

Hello, I’m 18 and I am new here. I am super nervous because for years I’ve kept myself and my feelings as bottled up as possible. I hope I can find something here to help me cope with it all and get on with my life. Good luck to everyone too.

Hi jessibear,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for all you have endured. Many of us understand keeping everything bottled up, as we are or have been there. It's not easy to face the struggles we have, but attempting to is a very big step forward. You will find kind-hearted and supportive members here. You are not alone. You have taken a big step reaching out, and I hope many more forward steps are to follow.

Hi jessibear, welcome to AS. We all feel nervous when we first come here. But you will soon learn you aren't alone here. Take your time looking over the site.
