Beginning my healing journey.

[h-o-p-e]

Hello all,

I have recently begun to start my healing journey and have come here looking to find support and to connect with others who have gone through similar experiences. I do not have much support in real life aside from therapy. I would also like to support others and share in moments of joy and sorrow - whatever it may be. I wish to learn about myself, be able to share my story and experiences, listen to others, and become a better person along the way. I am honestly kind of nervous to be here, but I am taking a step. I am trying my hardest to have as much hope as I can. Thank you for having me here!

Hello h-o-p-e (nice choice of a name!), welcome to After Silence  I am Wanna. 

I want to start out with sharing my sympathies, I am truly sorry for your trauma and pain. Please know that we will believe you.

It's alright to be nervous, this is after all a big step. You are being brave and I hope this platform will match your wishes. 

After Silence is a place to do just what you described. To have some extra support, to connect and share with other survivors, to have a safe place whatever turn life might take. Also, the members are doing a wonderful job supporting another. Giving others advice can help yourself too, I am happy you want to do that. 

Have a look around, feel free to browse, and once you feel ready, we will be here for you!

Stay safe,

Welcome @h-o-p-e to After Silence.  I’m sorry for what brought you here but I’m happy you are here reaching out for support.  Good job taking this step in your healing process.  You are not alone and what happened to you wasn’t your fault.  Take your time exploring and post when you are ready.  If you have any questions feel free to message me.

@missfrier Thank you so much for the welcome and support! I'm glad to be here and it's already making me feel less alone. This seems like a very good community; I'm glad I found it.

 

@WannaMoveOn I know I already responded to your message, but I wanted to thank you here as well! I very much appreciate your support. Being believed has been a huge problem for me, as no one around me believes me, so I think it will be very helpful to be here. I'm also a firm believer in helping others, so that will be good as well.

 

@MeBeMary Thank you for your sympathies and your support! It does mean a lot to me. And I love your profile picture as well! Mine is my kitten Lumi, who I just got about two weeks ago. He has really been helping me 

 

@8888 Thank you for your empathy and your support, I greatly appreciate it! It's nice to hear it wasn't my fault and that I'm doing well by taking this step, thank you.

 

Take care everyone.

@h-o-p-e Having people question your credibility when it comes to such traumatic issues is jarring. I am sad to hear that nobody believes you. That will change with this community, you deserve that!
