Hello all!

[rakit]

I'm rakit. I found AS when my therapist recommended I try to find an online forum to try and get a sense of not alone-ness and maybe even community. From what I've seen this forum is amazingly supporting of people, and respectful of their individual situations. I'm grateful for that.

I'm hoping I can bring some support to others, and find a place to feel not alone here.

Hi rakit,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry that you have a reason to be here, but you have found a very supportive site...as you have already noticed. I am glad your therapist suggested you find a community and that you decided to join.  Take your time and look around. You will see that you really aren't alone. Your struggles will be understood and this is purely a judgment free zone. Something you don't always get among non-survivors. I wish you the very best on your path of healing.

Mary

Hi @rakit

Fellow Canadian here!

I want to welcome you as well, and I hope you will find a sense of community here,  because what we go through can make us feel very isolated.  I am glad your therapist suggested the forum.
