I guess I'll say hi?

I find introducing myself to be awkward, but I figured I'd give it a go. I've got a lot going on in my life right now. Ongoing and past traumas are intertwining, and it's all left me feeling depleted. I'm hoping finding a community will help me on the road ahead.

Hi jes_m,

We've already spoke a little bit, but I wanted to officially welcome you to the site. I know the initial hello is likely the most difficult post to make, so do know how brave you are to do so. I am really happy you decided to join our community and reach out for the support and understanding you deserve. You are not alone!

Wishing you the best on this journey we call healing.

Mary

I can totally relate as well.  Some old information just came to light for me as well that has triggered a snowball effect of memories that needed to stay forgotten.  We are here to talk anytime.
