Hello everyone and thank you

[Citizenerased]

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to have found this place. 

I'm in a phase of my recovery where I'm struggling. Trying to work on my years of repressed memories. I'm hoping conversing and reading your stories will help me move forward. It will be great to talk to people who 'get it' too.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

@Capulet thank you. I think this place will really help. Wish I had known about it years ago. 

I find it very comforting to not feel completely alone in my feelings anymore
