Hi guys!

[Redwood519]

Hello everyone!

I'm excited to finally have found a community that can understand what I'm going through. This experience has made me feel so alone and I'm ready to start healing not just by myself but with the support of an accepting group of people that have had similar experiences. While I'm in a much better place than I have been for a while, I'm still struggling and decided to try this place out. 

Thanks in advance for the support I'm sure this place will provide.

Welcome to AS, @Redwood519 - so sorry that unfortunate circumstances have led you here, but please take comfort in knowing you have found a truly safe place within our community.  It is my sincerest hope that you will see that you are not walking this path alone - so many others can relate and understand what you're going through.

Please take all the time you need to familiarize yourself with the site - we are here for you whenever you're ready to share a little bit more about yourself - but there's NEVER any pressure to do so.  Take it all at your own speed.

Wishing you well!  

Best wishes!
