Hi. I'm New Here.

Hi.

I'm new here - came across this forum while I was looking on the Internet.

There are so many areas/topics I need to ask about, want some more info on etc., etc., mainly because I have so many problems at the moment and it just about covers everything in my life right now!

I am seeing my doctor and I am having counselling.

I'm not quite sure which area to try and look at first on this forum - don't quite know where to start. Sorry.

Could do with some help actually - where do most people start off when they join this forum?

Welcome to the group Aggy. I think people start in different areas. I, like you, introduced myself, then I posted my story in the Share your story forum.

I hope you find the support you need here at AS. :bighug:

Hi Aggy,

Welcome! I'm glad you've joined AS, but sorry about your reasons for being here. AS can be a bit overwhelming at first, as there are so many forums, and many of them will apply to difficult issues you may or may not be ready to deal with. Take your time, look around, and post wherever you feel comfortable. There are lighter forums towards the bottom where you can post humorous things, or about favorite bands, movies, TV shows.

When I started, I stuck to things that were lighter, until I felt more comfortable, which is fine. :) Basically, whatever you want to do is fine, this is a very lax environment, and the people are kind and supportive. I look forward to seeing you around. :)

Hi Aggy,

Welcome!! :)

I hope you feel at home soon. :flowers:

It's good to have you with us. I know this site can be overwhelming at first, and like dodo said, there's a team set up here to guide and help you through. :) I am part of that team, and there's 6 of us. Where to start posting...... Basically hun, you can post in any forum you feel comfy enough in to post. Some members will start with their story, others keep it light to get to know members a little. It's all good, you decide what you do. After all, you came here for YOU. :)

I am sorry for what you went through, and the reasons that brought you here. This is a caring and supportive community, and I hope you'll feel at home soon, and that you can get the support you need. :flowers:

:hug: = if ok??

Hello there,

I don't think I can add anything relevant to what's already been said. I began by posting my story and then browsing other sections. If you don't feel comfortable with that, options abound. Do what feels right to you.

Welcome.

Hi aggy welcome to AS :flowers: I remember when I joined I felt quite overwhelmed as well. For me I first started out with reading all of the guidelines and rules of the forum then I looked through some of the lighter areas like simply life and humor. I hope that you find this site to be a great support to you. Everyone here is very caring and understanding so please don't be afraid to ask for more help if you need it. I look forward to seeing you around the boards. Take care

We do have lighter forums, like simply life, humor and silliness and the amusement alcove, and then there are some forums which do focus more around what brings us to this site, that being sexual assault/abuse and rape, forums like share your story and aftermath, you are welcome to go into any of the forum here on this site :hug:
