Hi

[Fadingflower12]

Hi,

I’m new(ish) on here. I was on before after I was r***d. 
I’m so frustrated that I’m back here. I feel like I have no right to feel this way after I ‘recovered’ once. I just feel like I'm back where I started.

Hi,

Welcome (back) to AS.  I'm so sorry you have a reason to be here.  Please don't beat yourself up.  The recovery journey is not linear.  There will be good times and there will be bad times.  We just have to learn to ride the waves as best we can.  Coming here and chatting with people is a great coping strategy that you can add to your arsenal.  Take care,

Forest x

Hello, @Fadingflower12 and welcome (back) to AS! I'm sorry that you have reason to be back here. But please do not feel too frustrated...it's ok to go backwards a little. You'll bounce back. We're always glad to be here for you, no matter how many times you need to return. Forestmistheather made some really great points.  You're not alone, and there's nothing wrong with using AS as a tool to help yourself get back to where you were. 

You were here before, so does that mean you had an account already? If so, and you would like to merge your previous one with this current one (so you have all your posts together), please post in the Help Desk so an admin/moderator can help you with merging them.  I suggest doing that to keep your accounts together.

Wishing you well...sending you lots of support. ❤️

Hello Fadingflower and welcome.

I am sorry that you've experienced trauma. It was cruel and undeserved. I am sorry you felt better and are now once again struggling. That too, is unfair. It can be difficult to start up healing again, but do know you are welcomed here. You will find support and understanding, no matter the circumstances of where you were opposed to where you are. We are here for you. Wishing you the best as you continue this journey.

Mary
