Hi guys My name is Anxx

[Anxx]

Hi everyone, just wanted to do a short introduction as I'm new. I am a childhood abuse victim and I'm currently in therapy which has been really healing for me. I have joined this group because I sometimes feel very down on myself for not being further along with dealing with the long term effects of abuse. I think having the chance to speak to people who understand the feelings I am going through would be a really great thing. In turn I also want to do anything I can to help people heal and get past the negative feelings.

Hi Anxx,

Welcome to AfterSIlence. I am very sorry for the abuse you endured as a child. It was wrong and unfair. You will find wonderful survivors here that support and understand what you are going thru. Healing isn't always so easy and it is nice to have others to interact with.

I think we all can agree with you, we wished healing was easier and can be very frustrating, when it's not. We keep fighting and trying to keep moving forward, as we must.

Feel free to look around and interact where you are comfortable. You are validated and accepted in this little community and are glad that you have decided to join us. I wish you many, many steps forward on your path of healing.

Mary

Hi, @Anxx - 

Welcome to After Silence! I am happy that you've chosen to join such a wonderful community to help you on your healing journey! I am sorry that you have reason to be here, but I hope that we are able to help you heal from the abuse you endured as a child. I don't want you to feel like you "should" be at any specific point in your healing journey right now. There is no timeline to healing and it takes as long as it takes. Don't feel rushed to get past something that you need to deal with. 

Take your time posting as you feel ready! We are here to support you when you need it If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to me any time! I'm around! 

Sending happy thoughts,
Poppy

Thankyou everyone for being so kind and welcoming!!!! It really means a lot. I love how this community is not judgmental at all and you can speak about anything and everything and things that you feel you can't bring up with people who haven't been through abuse because they won't understand. Really thankyou everyone 😊
