Hi there! I'm Bee

[beesquared]

Hi there everyone!

I stumbled across After Silence after my girlfriend recommended I find an online support group. I was hoping to actually find an Discord group and I did find a few Discord groups, but none that I felt like I fit the vibe in. So I am here to kind of look around, get some support, and learn some new things. 

A little about me, I go by Bee. I am 21 and I live in the United States. I enjoy puzzles, video games, and literature. I am currently studying Marketing but I plan to go to grad school to become a librarian! 

 

Maybe a Discord server is something that I might be able to help get the ball rolling on? No pressure of course 😃

Hello Bee! Welocme to After Silence

I know Discord, but never thought of the idea to find a group for survivors through that platform. If there is something that is comparable, it's probably that you can be fully anonymous here just as in Discord. You decide what to share and what you'd like to talk about. This is a place to get empathy, relate, exchange advice and much more! 

I am 20 myself, studying to become an agronomist. You can PM me any time. 

Best wishes, and stay safe

Welcome @beesquared 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.  From my experience with Discord servers they aren't quite as secure as this site is so that could be an issue given the nature of the topic.   For example, if the server were to be listed publicly it would likely get internet trolls whereas here we don't have that happen all that often.  As @snmls said though you are welcome to mention it at the Help Desk and you can see what a moderator has to say.  Though perhaps you will find posting here to be sufficient.  Take your time exploring and post when you are ready.  If you have any questions feel free to message me.
