Hi everyone,

New member here. I've promised myself that this year I will focus on my mental health, and to do so requires tackling my long history of abuse. So here I am, hoping to be able to share and learn from others who can empathize. 

I've tried a couple other support group sites and haven't felt the connection or support that I'm searching for, but upon reading  some other posts on this site, I have a really good feeling about AS. I'm looking forward to being a part of this community, and thank you in advance.

Hi, @Mel_Bellel!  Welcome to After Silence.  Although I am sorry to hear that a long history of abuse has led you to our community, I'm glad you are here, and I do hope that you will fit in well among us.  You're not alone, here.

I also promised to do good things for myself this year.  I think it's an excellent goal for 2020!  Happy Belated New Year to you, and I wish you all the best!

Best wishes,
