Hello Everyone,

I have been looking for some kind of social support for months. I have not been able to find anything, until last night, I came across this site. I hope connecting with people will help me.

A little about myself: I am a graduate student, I have two Pomeranians, I like going for walks, and I like to remake furniture.

I look forward to talking with others.

I am sorry for your Trauma but Welcome to AS. I was really nervous when I started using AS, but it has been such a positive experience and the people are great. If you ever need to talk to someone feel free to message me.

Hi. I’m new too. It really sucks that you have been looking for support for months. I am in the same boat as you. 

When you let out something that you’ve held in for so long, you need love and support around you to know you are not alone in dealing with these difficult emotions.

I hope AS can help us both.

love

Hi and welcome to AS! Great to have you here even though I am sorry for the trauma that brought you here.  I also have a dog a golden retriever she helps me to feel safe at home.  I was actually thinking about having a rocking chair that was handed down to me from my Grandma refurbished today while I was out on a long walk with my dog.  Anyways as others have said this is a supportive place full of kind caring individuals that will cry with you laugh with you and support you along your healing journey.

Thank you for welcoming me. I really look forward to being able to chat with everyone. To find support and to also be supportive.

You should get the rocking chair refurbished, I love older furniture so much more than new furniture, I just think it has so much more character.
