Whelp, Here Goes....

[Nandra]

Hi. I'm Nicole... 26 years old from Minnesota. I'm new here, as you probably guessed from the title. Not quite sure what to expect, but I needed a place to turn to. I've been kind of "lurking" here... reading some posts and such, and figured I should say Hello. I'm a rape survivor... the 10 year anniversary is coming up in December, so this is kind of a rough time of year for me. ANY-HOO... Hi!

Hi Nicole. Thanks for the introduction. I am fairly new too- two weeks. I have found this site very helpful in that time and hope you will too. I know how hard anniversaries can be my 7th is coming up soon and already I am experience more memories. If I can help in anyway let me know.

Hi Nicole,

My name is Lynn, and I am a member of the New Member Support Team. I just wanted to take the time to say welcome to After Silence.

Anniversaries are difficult! I hope that in some way you find comfort and support here. I know that I have found the strength to face another day many times through the words and presence of those dear ones who make this site a true "community."

I am glad that you have joined with us and look forward to getting to know you. If you need anything or have questions about the boards or how something works, please send me a personal message. I will gladly help in any way possible...also if you need someone to listen, let me know.

Take care,

Your Sister in Survival,

Lynn
