Hello AS, I’m new here:)

[Uhane2]

This is the first forum I have been on since my SA. Tbh, I thought I’d never have to visit one of these sites. It’s been almost 2 years and I thought I was doing fine. Last night was one of the hardest nights I’ve been through in a while. I’m on this site in hopes I can gain some healing and advice; to feel less alone.

Hi, @Uhane2 - 

Welcome to After Silence! This is also the first forum I joined after my SA and I never thought something like this would happen to me either. I understand how sometimes you can feel fine and then the flashbacks hit out of nowhere and send you into a spiral. I can tell you that this is one of the most supportive and uplifting communities I have ever been a part of! I hope that you will find that healing and peace here as well. 

Just know that you are not on this journey alone and we support you all the way! I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to or have questions about the site! Please don't ever hesitate to reach out to me  

Wishing you luck,
Poppy

@Uhane2 Welcome to After Silence, I am Wanna

You've come to the right place, we'll have you at any point of your healing journey. I am sincerely sorry for your trauma and struggle. Please know that it was not your fault, and that we believe you. 

Trauma can sadly hit us at any time, and our brain chooses when it wants to start processing. It can come very fast forward and turn our lives around, but we can get through it with the right support and guidance. You are being very brave for reaching out. Our community carries kind members who form a warm support system. We tend to relate to each other here, you can talk about anything here.   

You are not alone in this, and you can get great advice here as well a chance to share what you would feel comfortable to. Feel free to browse this site. Us staff are always available if you'd have questions, need a chat or anything at all. 

Hoping to see you around

- Wanna ☀️

Hello Uhane2 

Things will get better, just don't be afraid if they will feel heavy at times. Healing tends to be a bumpy road, but you're not doing this alone. You have a whole community here, wanting what's best for you. Yes, the love and care here is genuine, so nice that you would sense it so soon. 

Reach out whenever you'd like to, you can DM me any time!
