Hi

[SadQueen]

Hi,

I'm joining today after a painful experience at the doctors yesterday. I thought I was better and that I could just forget about it. But when we discussed my sexual health I began sobbing uncontrollably. I apparently can't just pretend it didn't happen. There are more ways it's affected me and I've brushed them off. I think it's time to acknowledge it and maybe seek some advice from others or even just have somewhere to share.

I'm sorry we're all here, but I'm feeling thankful right now to have a place to go.

Hello SadQueen,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the trauma you have experienced, but you will find tons of support here. You were not alone. I am very sorry you were also triggered at the doctors office a couple days ago. I am also uneasy with doctors, so I do understand. You are right though, struggles do tend to sneak out on you when you least expect it. It is unfair, yeah we are the ones who have to deal with it. Take your time and look around. Share or interact when you are ready and comfortable. We are here for you. I wish you nothing but the best on this journey we call healing.

Mary
