Hello. First time trying something like this. I thought I’d give it a chance slowly learning to navigate this site. I’m very young (only halfway through high school) and have never had the chance to get any type of support. Thank you all in advance.

@Diara Welcome to After Silence. I'm very sorry for what has brought you here, and I'm also glad you have found this place and reached out to find some support.  It does take a while to get to know the site, so take your time and feel free to post questions about things you don't understand.  There is a lot here, so don't worry about covering everything, and pace yourself so that it feels right to you.  I think you will find you are not alone in the after effects of what you have gone through, and there is lots of support to be had.

Hi Diara, 

I'm sorry for the experiences in your life that have brought you to this site, but I'm glad you found the site and decided to join.  You did not deserve what happened to you and it was not your fault.  Going through the healing process is tough when you don't have support, but we are all here to support you.  You will not be alone here.  Talking with others who have gone through similar experiences can really help.  Take a look around the site and post whenever you feel comfortable.  I hope you end up finding this site to be as helpful as I do.
