Hello

[depresso]

Um, so. I just joined this morning. I missed the one bus I needed to get to go to my first support meeting at my local Rape Crisis centre (the bus was early; I could scream) and my appointment's been rescheduled for the beginning of February. I kind of really need to get some things out of my head, and thanks to a lack of funding, there's nothing specific available to me at this precise moment in Scotland. I suppose another centre would provide immediate support, but I know that they're only funded to provide support for their local areas, and anyway, I need longer term help than one call.

I have a habit of digressing, I'll try to keep an eye on it!

There's a lot in my mind just now, I need to get it out so I hope you'll be patient with me : )

Hey depresso, welcome to AS. I'm sorry that you missed that first meeting, but I'm glad you're reaching out to people here. I think you'll find that they'll reach back. I wish you the best, and if you have any questions whatsoever, I recommend sending a PM to someone on the newbie support team. They're there for you.
