Dear blue_ peach: 

Welcome to After Silence!!

I'm sorry for what you have been through.  I find it is easier to talk on forums then out loud.  Being here has helped me so much, even from the first time I ever posted.  It is still helping me - I have so much support here and I know you will, as well.  Here at AS, we are like a big family and our members are kind and non-judgemental.

I am sending you lots of safe hugs! 

Take care!

@Poppy_ @8888 @snmls @silentg @MeBeMary and @missfrier I can't thank you enought for your kind words! When I read your answers made me feel for the first time after months that I am not alone and a hope for understanding and peace. I hope it will be true and i will be finally be healed a little bit or more. I know there are strong and difficult stories and maybe mine will be lighter but for me it is so hard to deal with.. I don't know how to talk about it here, I am trying to find the way and my way to share it and I thank you once again about you encouranging answers!  

Did any of you ever felt exposed and scared? that maybe someone could understand who you are and for what you'been talking about? cause I have this fear as well even if I know that here are people all over the world, still fear is fear..

I have felt exposed and scared.  I think that's a pretty normal feeling for survivors.

I'm alright thanks.  Take it slow but if you can push yourself just a little to improve.  It's important not to push yourself too hard though.  Posting here is a great step.  Also for me therapy has been helpful with this.

I have therapy as well.. unfortunately this years,when this thing happened to me I had to change therapist,actualy I changed two,because my old therapist she was pregnant and she didn't want to continue with her job.. so it was really hard for me to find a new one to trust all over again and the same time talk about what I've been going throught and myself and life before that. It is so hard to trust a new person, to feel comfortable and safe but still I am trying to improve this feeling,this fear and thank you for your advice.it's so true. It needs to go step by step and I hope one day it will be better.
