Guest tiggeranpooh Posted August 27, 2004 Hi Angela, Hope you don't mind me gatecrashing this, but as a newbie I thought rather than start up a new thread I would just take the opportunity to say hello on this one as well. It certainly seems as if the community here is a great place and, although I have little time because of real life pressures to come online an awful lot, I do hope I can be around a little. A very quick intro. 36, survivor of child abuse (culminating in rape) over a 3 year period by a family friend. Also a victim of sexual molestation to my grandfather around the same time. Had years of trying to deal with it - anxiety, panic attacks, all the usual. Kept going until I crashed in my late twenties and effectively had a nervous breakdown. Picked myself up and now happily settled with the most adorable partner who is kind, understanding and considerate, as well as being my soul mate. I finally decided I wanted to try and give if I could to help others, and found this site. So, had a peek around, and finally decided to join. Thanks Angela for putting up with me rambling on here. I hope I haven't offended by doing so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
