Hi Everyone

[puremagdalene]

I'm a 20 yr old female survivor of extended childhood incest. I am working on my BS in psychology in Orlando. I am a proud crazy cat lady with two 6 mo. old kittens and my 11 yr old calico. I love to read fantasy/fiction books, listen to all kinds of music, and watch movies/shows.

All things considered, life is going well I guess... I don't have a lot of the traditional effects of what I've been through like flashbacks. But even without all that, I'm struggling and despite my meds I find myself wallowing in negativity more and more lately.

So I'm here to have an outlet that will hopefully keep me on track.

Thanks!

-Danielle.

Hi Danielle

Welcome to AS

My name is Cathy, I am part of the newbie support team here at Aftersilence. I will be happy to help you settle in, if you have any problems or questions you send me or any member of the team a personal message.

I like cats too but they always run away

Just because you don't have flashbacks and the sort, does not mean you are not as affected as others, as I am sure you are aware everyone deals with things differently, and truly there is no "normal" responce to what you have gone through! I am sorry to hear you are feeling down lately, but I am glad you have found us, and I hope we can help Look forward to seeing you around the board

Hugs and support

Cathy

I wish mine had been loyal like that, but they were a bit crazy, no one liked them except me, and one was ferrel so what did I expect?

lol yeah my 11 yr old calico Sherry (short for Shere Khan, tiger in the Jungle Book) is a little bit spaztastic... she's my baby though :D I've had her since I was 10 or so (best thing my father ever gave me *rolls eyes*). She's a sweetheart for me, but a lil wary around other people unless they're sitting still and she can approach them instead of them walking up to her.

My kittens on the other hand... rambunctious wee furballs are fearless and god forbid you have any dangly bits on your clothes or they'll try to unravel you
