I'm New And It's My Birthday

[freedom.from.pain]

I'm new and today (Sunday) is my birthday. But I have had many mixed feelings around this birthday. Too many to name. It was a big birthday, the big 4-0! My youngest two planned a party for me and my one friend showed up which was nice and we had a good night. But I have other mixed up sad feelings too that accompanied this birthday. But I wanted to post today cause i just joined and I hope I am accepted here and hope to not feel so alone with all my trauma and feelings and aftermath and stuff of being a survivior of SA and rape.

Hi Freedom!

Welcome and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love that your little ones planned a party, sounds fun!

Sorry you are having mixed emotions and upset. Hmph. That makes for a roller coaster birthday.

I am new to these message boards, but so far have found them to be very supportive; and friendly!

Don't go it alone - come talk to others who are healing too.

Smiles!

i'm new here too. i have no idea what this place is like but i figure anything is worth a shot to not feel so alone. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, i know it's rough to have bad memories associated with what supposed to be a good day. for what it's worth i hope you can focus on the good parts.
