New, Nervous, Anxious, Please Don't Judge....

[Muse1416]

I signed up for AS last week after being told for weeks by my therapist to find groups like this. I'm nervous and anxious and don't really know what to say....um....I've got two loving partners and we have a little boy. I'm trying to go to college to become a teacher. Um.....I love reading, music, coffee and scare acting. I guess that's about it....

Hello Muse1416!

I am Wanna  First off, my warmest welcomes to this platform. After Silence welcomes all kinds of survivors, and our members form a wonderful community. This is a place to vent, chat, receive support and feel safe. I am sincerely sorry for your trauma and how it has affected you. Please know that we will believe you, and of course, don't judge. 

Joining a community, especially for the first time, can make you unsure how to start. But don't worry, you take it at your own pace. You decide what you'd like to share and when. We are here for you when you feel ready. However, feeling nervous and anxious about this is perfectly normal. Feel free to just browse a bit, get to know the platform and reach out when you feel like it.   

How nice that you have a family! We do have plenty of other parents here, as well students. 

Feel free to DM me or any staff member of choice if you would have questions, need support, a chat or anything at all.   

Hope to see you around

- Wanna ☀️
