Hello everyone, this is my first time on a site like this honestly so I’m curious to find out how it works and if maybe it helps me heal some.

It can be helpful for people who don’t have friends or family, or can’t talk to friends and family and certain things. It can also be a good form of secondary therapy. I say secondary because an actual therapist would obviously be better. You can ask questions you can’t ask friends and family. The best way to start is simply reading posts and learning. That might help you get an idea of how to use the forum. Honestly, there is no wrong way as long as you follow the rules

Hello there, wishing you welcome as well! I am Wanna

I myself have found great comfort in this forum. You can talk about pretty much anything and share in the amount you feel comfortable with. Everyone here has a different story, but we tend to relate to another here.

We are here for you, wherever you are at healing right now and will be for ups and downs.

All best,

W

Hello and welcome to AS! I'm glad you found your way here. It can be a bit nerve-wracking to first be on a site like this...so take your time. You're not alone, though. You'll find a lot of very friendly and supportive people here. I'm sorry for what you've been through, but you will be sure to heal with all of the support you'll gain in this community. Wishing you all the best.
