Hello!


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I find myself here after a long process of uncovering the truth of my past along with some other more recent events. After coming up empty as far as who in my life I could process this with I realized that there are countless people in this world who share my experience. This is all a bit scary, but I’m at the point of no return. I am finally prioritizing health over fear. So, hello! :)

Hi OcHer,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the trauma you've endured, both recent and long ago. You will find tons of support and understanding. You are not alone. It is a very brave thing to do to reach out and you are so right, countless survivors know your experience. It is a sad truth, but I believe we all feel a bit grateful not to be alone in this. So welcome!

Take your time and look around our site. When you are comfortable, feel free to interact. You will not judged or pressured in any way, but you may find validation along with the support. It is something every survivor needs and deserves. I do wish you the best as you continue down a path we call healing.
