Hello missi and welcome here, I am Wanna

Please let us staff know if you need any help, you can contact me or any staff member through the Personal Messenger. 

I would suggest to keep going to your sessions, do what brings you joy and cut yourself some slack. Take your time to get to know this site, and no pressure on posting! You share what you feel comfortable to. This is a safe place for you to connect with fellow survivors, exchange support and to relate. I am sincerely sorry about what happened to you, please know we believe you!

All best, W ☀️

Hi missi,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for what you have been thru, it was unfair and undeserved. You have found a very supportive site with many understanding and kind members. You are not alone. 

Feel free to look around and interact with others when and where you are comfortable in doing so. Sometimes just reading other members' posts can be helpful. Seeing how others relate in struggles, even if the trauma isn't exactly alike, is a thread that relates us all. 

You deserve healing and I am glad you are moving forward down this path. Wishing you the best.

Mary
