Good Day

[123456]

Hello everyone,

I don't really know how to start, I've never been one to start conversations. More of a listener than a talker, kind of my downfall I'd say, should be a bit of both. Let's just say I'm sort of lost in what to do, I just want things to be normal and the feeling of disgust and shame to go. So, here it is, the moment of trying again.

Perhaps a lighter topic is better, how is everyone doing? Day been, and so forth?

Thank you.

I.

Hey 123456,

Welcome to AfterSilence

I can see you are feeling quiet nervous, please know this is quiet ok, and I was also very nervous when I first joined AS, and feeling nervous I think is something most survivors go through when they join AfterSilence, so if you want to just sit back and read for a little while until you feel comfortable writing things then that is absolutely fine. Please know that when you do feel you can start to write things we will be here and we will listen and support you

I admire the courage that you are showing by introducing yourself here and I just want to say thankyou so much for that, it really is nice to get to know someone, and I am glad you have come here to AS for some healing from the experiences you have had, and please know I am so so sorry for what brings you here and please know it wasn't your fault and your not alone, we are here with you

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

John

Hi 123456, welcome to AS. I'm having a pretty good day, thank you! It's only 7:14am here, and my son decided he'd like to wake up at 6:30 instead of his usual 8, so this is me right now:

Anyhow, I'm really glad you joined AS, and I hope you'll find it to be a wonderful and supportive place for you.

Hello and welcome

It's ok to feel quiet and nervous.

I'm more of a listener as well but as I got to feel more comfortable here I was able to talk more and more.

Take your time to settle in and I'm sure you'll find AS very comforting and supportive
