Hello

Hello...

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been browsing the forum for a few days now and I thought I'd post something.

I'm 20yrs old and I'm a survivor of sexual abuse. I'm struggling to deal with the aftermath of everything that happened while maintaining an appearance of being "normal".

I'm not doing so well at the moment. Kind of what brought me here, I needed to know I'm not alone.

I'm not really ready to share my full story yet.

Anyway it's good to meet all of you.

Peace,

Erin

Hi there!

Take your time - your story will come out when you are ready for it to. Nor is the only option actually posting your full story in the share your story section - pieces of mine are scattered all across this board, at Pandys and on files on my computer - yet I have never told my complete story. Just trying to say - it's okay - do it your way.

Feel free to send me a PM at any time.

Good luck with your journey.

Love

Selene

Thanks everyone. It's good to be here. I was feeling so alone, and I don't anymore. I'm still really trapped inside myself, I can't seem to talk about anything to anyone who is phyiscally present to me, and I haven't been able to talk about alot of what's been bothering me even over the internet. I've been trying to make baby steps here so maybe I can talk to my counsiler and he can help me. It's just so difficult.... I just want to forget everything but it's poisining my life.
