Hi, I'm New

[Ash.....]

Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm a survivor (or so they say ... am I surviving? But that's a quesion for another post).

Anyway, I'm allowing myself to talk about things here that I just can't find a place for outside my therapist's office.

Hi, Ihavemadeit, and thanks for your kind words. I need this name and this voice for now to "speak" what I can not. Maybe someday I won't but for now, I do and very badly because I feel so very bad and unworthy and like an ant maybe. Not a person.

dodo, Thank you for welcoming me.

A lot of people find that and many do change their username after a while, I hope you can grow and change from that ant ... I suspect the person will be worth waiting for/knowing .. Just edited to add, and at all times the pace is up to you ... :hug: Edited February 20, 2007 by Ihavemadeit

Hi Dear,

It is good to meet you. I think that survivors need each other to heal. So I'm glad that you are here.

Good and healing thoughts to you.

Hi Ash,

I related to what you said about needing the name and voice. I struggle so much with shame and often I know that it makes no sense, but it has defined me for so long that I don't know who I am without it.

I am new as well, and I am really glad that you are here. Thanks for being so brave.

Hi, teazle, thanks for your welcome!

Hi, Gabreal, I understand what you mean about shame. It's been part of me for so long I hardly know anything else.

Hi, Ihavemadeit, yes, I'm starting to work through it. I still need that voice and maybe will go back to that name ('ashamed') or maybe pick a new one. I'm undecided right now but Ash seems ok.

Thanks, loobyloo, it's hard and a little overwhelming here. There are so many forums!

Hello again, Katia! How nice of you to welcome me!

I'm trying to get comfortable but it's hard.

Hey everyone i am sort of new to this, it has been 6 years since my life became a nightmare and i am only starting to hear the little voice inside of me become stronger, and start to ask for help.

Hi, Isabelle, it's nice to meet you!

Hi, Wish! I'm glad you're here and I'm glad you're asking for help!
