Hi everyone...

Hi, my name is Emma. I obviously didn't choose to be here, but here I am. I am really hopeful that AS will help me accept and heal from everything.

Hi @emmaemmaemma

Welcome to AS.  I'm sorry for the experiences that brought you here.  I wish we all didn't have to be here, but at least we have a safe space that we can gather and support each other.  Healing can be a long, tough process, but it is possible to heal.  Talking with others who have been through similar experiences can help.  You are welcome to post on this site whenever you feel comfortable.  I hope you end up finding this site to be as helpful as I do.
