Hello


Recommended Posts

Hi @Speechless!  Welcome to After Silence.  I like your chosen username - it's very appropriate, for some of us feel exactly that from time to time. 

I'm called Cap and I'm one of the site's moderators.  You'll soon hear from a member of the Newbie Support Team and will receive a PM containing some helpful links and information.  Until then, feel free to give me a shout if you need any assistance. :) 

Congratulations to you on taking steps to emerge from the parts of your life that you've kept hidden.  That's an amazing and tremendous first step.  I'm hopeful that being here among others who understand will bring you peace, comfort and healing.  Please take your time looking around and jump in whenever you're comfortable!

Best wishes,
Capulet

This is a kind and caring community and we are all here to support each other through the healing process. It can all be overwhelming at first, but you are welcome to take all the time you need to feel comfortable. When you are ready, you can post and share on the forums as much as you would like, but there is no obligation to do so. Browsing and reading is completely fine too! Just connecting with other survivors can be helpful in letting you know you are not alone. If you have any questions about the site, don't be afraid to reach out. Wishing you the best.

Hi Speechless,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the reasons that lead you here, but you have found a very supportive site. Our community of members are very understanding and kind. You are not alone.

It is a very big and brave step to reach out and come out of hiding. It's not always easy, but it can be easier when you have others to walk this path with you. Feel free to look around and interact where you feel the most comfortable. I wish you the best as you continue down this path we call healing.
