Guest lam_scot Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Err, Hi everyone. I`m new here. I just discovered this site a few weeks ago, and have read some of the many survivor stories, which have moved me to tears. I was raped throughout my childhood untill I was 17. I am diagnosed with PTSD and Anorexia. I feel so weak, I am not "over it" yet, like I think I should be (I`m 27,now). Oh, I`m sorry, I probably did this all wrong...Hi, to everyone, though Link to post

fuzzysnowflake Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Welcome! I don't think it is something you get over it is just something that is a part of you but doesn't have to define you. Link to post
jaded1 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 First and foremost welcome and ! Second, I am 34 and still not "over it" As a matter of fact it is harder now that it has ever been. Anxiety, PTSD, an ED the list goes on and on but :notalone: - we can heal. This is a wonderful place. Glad you are here. Feel free to pm me if you should ever want to or need anything. Love and Light, ~jaded1 Link to post
-Nicole- Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Welcome to After Silence There is no time frame for healing, nor any rights or wrongs. It is a unique and individual process and a very difficult one. I have been in that place where I felt I should be over it, and then I had to surrender to the reality that there is no over it. We get better we heal, but it never goes away. That said, it does get drastically better! You have taken an important step in your healing. Keep going! Nicole Link to post
