Hi all! I'm glad I found this place.


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure where to begin. It's a bit hard for me to introduce myself while keeping anonymity because I like sharing about myself. I would say I have come a long way in my healing journey, but I find that with every milestone comes a new set of feelings and emotions that I unintentionally/subconsciously skip over. My therapist suggested I find a support group, and I am not sure why it took me so long to even consider doing so. With that said, I am filled with hope and am happy to know I now have a way to connect and interact with other survivors.

Hello  @Survivor to Warrior and welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna :flowers:

I agree with your therapist, joining a support group is definitely a good idea. Even if you've come far, which I am happy about, sometimes our healing does require a bit of extra attention. Having a platform to express your thoughts and emotions might be a good way to get to know yourself better. You can share whatever you'd like, without being judged. 

This is a safe place to share and relate, as well exchange advice and support. Our members form a wonderful support system. I am sincerely sorry for your reasons to be here, please know that you carry no guilt in this. You fully own your story and we believe you! :notalone:

Please reach out if there is anything you'd need! 

- Wanna ☀️
