Hi, newbie here

[kogia83]

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I am trying to come to terms with and figure out what happened to me. I haven't told anyone about it, not even my best friend. I guess I am here to not feel so alone, and see that others are going through the same thing.

Welcome to After Silence! I'm sorry you're hurting right now and you're feeling alone. I hope that by being here you will see that you are not alone. I know it can be scary to keep this stuff to yourself. You can talk to me any time you'd like if you feel that will help! I'm here if you need anything at all.

Hello kogia,

Welcome to AfterSIlence. I am very sorry for the experience you have gone thru and your struggles to understand it. I questioned myself for a very long time, so I do know the struggle this can be. Whatever it was...I can guarantee you it was not your fault. Feel free to look around and share when and if your ready. You will certainly find others here tho, who understand you greatly. It's not an easy road, but much more tolerable when you aren't walking it alone.

Wishing you the best, kogia, as you begin to navigate this path we call healing.
