Hey there, good evening

[azureskies]

I hope you're all having a good weekend! I have some... long stories to share. But that's for another time. I am junior in college, studying biochemistry. I'll be graduating in 2023. It's been really hard. I'm a survivor of multiple incidents and I'm struggling to stay on the path that I charted just a couple years ago. I know that others here are probably struggling to maintain their goals, dreams, aspirations, and lifestyles that they had pre-incident.

Hi azureskies,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the traumas that you've endured and the struggles you go thru. You have found a very understanding and supportive community. You are not alone. 

Our experiences may vary, but you are very right that we all struggle thru some of the same things. I consider it the thread that binds us together. Having others who can relate is no small thing...and reaching out is a huge step. I am glad you have. Feel free to look around the community and interact where you feel comfortable. I wish you the very best as you continue to move forward on this path of healing.

Welcome to AS, @azureskies! I'm glad you found your way here. I'm sorry, though, for what you've been through. So very sorry. None of it was deserved, and none of it was your fault. It's so awful that our traumas have prevented us from doing so much. You're not alone in that. You're not alone at all...you'll find a lot of very friendly and supportive people here. I wish you all the best. ❤️
