Hello everyone,

My name is Amanda, I am 26 and have been trying to heal for several years now, but still feel like I have no control over my life. :533: Nothing is where I want it to be.......I'm also very nervous about being here, and up till today I had only been in the "silly" folder.....

Well hope all is well and its nice meeting you all!

Amanda

Welcome to AS

I was really nervous when I first got here too, it gets easier with time.

We're here for you, take care

[teslyn]

Welcome. It takes time to get comfortable at a place like this.

[luseal]

Thanks gals for the welcome. I'm hoping it gets easier with time...being a survivor was easy for awhile there, thought I had it all under control. The last few months though its all crashing back around me..

Hi luseal,

Welcome!!

I hope you feel at home soon.

It's ok to be nervous about being here, hun... It is a very hard topic, and very hard to talk about or share about with others. Take all the time you need to get to know us, ok? There's no rush, hun, you can go at your own pace. I'm sorry you've been struggling so much lately.... It will get better in time, hun, but it does take a while and it takes hard work. The good news is that you don't have to go through all this alone, we are here for you!

Feel free to ask questions if you have any, ok?

= if ok??

Hi!

Welcome to AS! It is very understandable that you are nervous and I am very sorry you are having such a hard time at the moment. Take your time to get comfy with this place. No one is putting any pressure on you! I am looking forward to getting to know you better!

Best wishes for your healing journey,

Holly

Thanks Holly and Jo,

I am starting to feel a lil more comfortable with each post.

I thought I was almost done with the healing process, but maybe there is no actual end and maybe i was a lil more in denial than I wanted to admitt....but as holly's side bar say's..one day at a time And I am glad I found you all......even if I find it sad that there are so many other survivors out there.....Sometimes I wish I was alone in the battle, because it would of ment no one eles got hurt.....

Off to try and get another hr or two of sleep before the next time I wake up...

p.s. hugs are always accepted, and sometimes needed! *hugs to all who need and/or want them*
