Hello..

[Izzy]

Hi..

I'm Izzy. I'm here partly because of things that happened to me as a teenager onwards, and partly because of things i think i remember from childhood, but it's fuzzy. I feel.. really nervous at the thought of reaching out, but I know that i need to do this for myself. Hope i can be a help to others, as well as getting help for myself

Welcome Izzy. I'm still pretty new but this seems like a pretty good place. There are people here who understand, and what surprises me is people actually seem to care.

Hey Izzy, and welcome to AS

I am glad that you have come here so that you can reach out, and heal from the experiences that you had as a teenager, and please know it is fine to be nervous, I was nervous when I first came to AS, very nervous actually but over time I learned to open up, and AS has proved to be a very healing place for me

I am so glad that you have come here, and I look forward to seeing more of you on AS soon

Please take gentle care, and feel free to PM me anytime

Hi Izzy,

Welcome!!

I hope you feel at home soon.

It is ok to be nervous, Izzy, reaching out is not as easy as it sounds, and this is no fun subject to begin with. We have all been nervous at first, so pls don't feel bad about that. I am glad you have joined us, and have come to receive support for your healing from both childhood and teen experiences. I am so sorry you went through that, hun, it's not your fault.

This is a caring and supportive community, Izzy, and I am sure you'll find lots of understanding, respect and validation here. There's no judging here, hun, we all understand where you are coming from. So browse around and give yourself time to get to know us, I'm sure you'll settle in a lot faster than you might think.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, ok??

= if ok??

Hi Izzy and welcome to AS

Its understandable to be nervous when first reaching out so just allow yourself to feel that and start joining in and talking more when you feel ready. Don't push yourself. I'm so sorry for what has happened to you, and I really hope we can provide the help and support that you need and deserve.

Feel free to PM me if you need anything

take care of yourself
