[Bambs]

Hello AS community,

I'm Bambs an even shorter nickname off of Bambi, which my friends call me. I'm a 25 year old woman and I enjoy working out, pole dancing, gaming and watching DnD streams while cuddling my dog. I am joining this community a few days before I begin therapy to try and help me break out a little and get used to talking about difficult things which I do not enjoy.

I would love to chat with women around my age or older into the same things as me or who have had similar experiences which I'll post about in the appropriate thread. 

Much love Xx

Welcome, @Bambs, to After Silence.   I think being here is an excellent way to prepare for getting into some difficult things - it's always SO much easier to talk about things within a community where many others are in the same boat - I am also wishing you lots of luck with the transition into therapy - that's another very positive step in your healing process.

Take all the time you need to look around before sharing - if that is best for you.  We don't require that you share anything if you're not quite comfortable doing so, yet.  Whenever you're ready to jump in, we'll be here!

Best wishes,
Capulet

@Capulet Thank you! ❤️
