Introducing Me

[Anonymoushuman]

Hi everyone!  I’m simply an anonymous human and I’m here, because my therapist suggested it.  I didn’t realize until about a year ago what had actually happened to me.  I didn’t think my story counted for a long time.  Now that I know, I’m trying to figure out how to deal with it.  I’m hoping it will help to chat with people who understand.  Thank you for being a supportive place to go 💖

Hello Anonymoushuman,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the trauma you experienced, but you will find support here. It can be confusing when things come back to you, but do know you aren't alone. You say you didn't think your story counted, I hope this means you do think so now, because it does. You and your experience are validated here. Nobody has the right to hurt another. I am happy your T suggested you join an on-line group and you took that step to reach out. Wishing you nothing but forward steps on the path to healing.

Mary

Hi, anonymoushuman, and welcome!

Hi, @Anonymoushuman - 

Welcome to After Silence! I'm so glad your therapist suggested you join this site! My therapist also suggested it to me and after telling her no countless times, I eventually relented and I'm so glad I did. This site has been so supportive and healing and I've made so many connections here. I't so comforting to know that I am not alone in my feelings or perceptions of the things I've gone through. I hope you will feel the same way! 

If you need anything at all, I'm just a quick PM away - feel free to message any time! 

Sending happy thoughts,
Poppy
