[Guest Belle]

Hi,

I'm Belle, I'm 23. I've been thinking about joining a forum like this for a while now but just got the courage to today.

I was raped when I was 18. I don't remember much of it but over the past few years I've been remembering things and having flashbacks.

I'm probably going to just lurk around for a while but I wanted to say Hi.

Love,

Belle.

Hi Belle,

Welcome to the forum, we don't have any emoticons to send "warm fuzzies" but that is what I send to you. Post when you like, people here are warm, friendly, understanding, and most of all supportive. See you around when you're ready.

Welcome to AS. Take your time and lurk as long as you like. I think I lurked for months before I had the nerve to even say hi. I am glad you found us.
