Hello - introduction

[Rosebudd]

Hi, I am new to After Silence. I struggle alot with flashbacks and feel like no one understands how I feel. I am hoping for some support from people that have some kind of idea of what I have been through. And I am also happy to give support as I don't want others to feel as alone as I do. Thank you

Hi Rosebudd and welcome.

I am very sorry for what you've been thru and the struggles that you face. It wasn't fair and isn't deserved. You have found a very supportive community tho, with so many wonderful members. You will find much kindness and understanding. You are not alone. 

I encourage you to look around the site. Interact where you feel comfortable and know that you can go at your own pace. We are here for you (and appreciate you being here for us). I'm glad you have found us. I wish you the best, as you begin to move forward down the path of healing.

Mary

Hi @Rosebudd 

Welcome to AS. I'm sorry for the trauma that brought you here, but I'm glad you found the site and decided to join. Flashbacks can be really hard. I used to struggle with them a lot, so I understand how you feel. Talking with other survivors will help you to feel less alone. You are always welcome here. 

ps. I don't know if you have watched Schitt's Creek, but your username reminded me of the show.

@Rosebudd,

I am so sorry you were hurt, and you are feeling alone in this. I am glad you found your way to AS. This is a wonderful safe space to find the support you need, and we all understand, you are not alone. 

Flashbacks are horrible, I understand how you feel. They can be so overwhelming and scary.  I hope you have a counselor or Therapist that can support you through all the emotions and thoughts your feeling.
