Hello @pinkypie and welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna 🌻

I am deeply sorry for your trauma and what you have been struggling with. Please know that we believe you. 

Whatever you carry with you here, you are most invited to share. No topic is too small or too big here, and if you had a chance to look over this forum a bit, you might have noticed that we discuss plenty of topics here. We discuss mental health and different types of violence among other things, with forums where you can vent and receive support. 

Feeling alone, isolated, paranoid and as if you are about to lose it is something many survivors can relate to, and you are doing the right thing by reaching out. After Silence is here for you. 

This platform carries a wide diversity of survivors and our members form a wonderful support system. 

I am so happy you decided to join in!

I wish you the best of luck on your recovery. Feel free to browse the site and if you would have any questions, need advice or want to vent/chat, us staff always has doors open. 

Stay safe and hope to see you around

- Wanna ☀️

Hi pinkypie,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the trauma you have endured. No matter the type or how recent or long ago, your trauma is acknowledged and validated. You are not alone. I am sorry for the struggles you are going thru and the confused feelings you have. Sadly, this is common with trauma survivors, even if these feelings and struggles are unjustified and unfair. Only the abusers should feel shame, but this is very uncommon. Do know we believe you and support you.

Feel free to look around and when you are ready feel free to interact. I wish you the best on this journey of healing.

Mary
