A Chance To Reach Out

[ravenskye]

I am new to the site, not new to healing...still seeking peace, understanding, connection. I've been dealing with many issues from childhood and adulthood... still working on self forgiveness. Been in therapy steady for 5 years and counting. Finally found a good one! certainly happy to be here finally. I found this site 2 years ago. Just signed up. Just recently quit a group that was more triggering than helpful even after having been in other groups before. Maybe this method will be safer for me right now. Thanks for listening.

Hi Ravenskye welcome to AS I am sorry to hear that your group turned out to be more damaging then helpful. I am glad you joined us. The great thing about AS is there are many serious things discussed on the boards but there are also many light topics for days when you don't feel like you can handle the tough stuff. I hope you will feel comfortable here. I look forward to seeing you around the boards.

Hi and Welcome to AS!!

Hello. Trying to figure this out...I just joined AS and this is my first post. I hope I am doing this right. I was raped 29 years ago and have been shoving it around and down since. I am now 42 and finally ready and able to work through my pain, insecurity, and fear. I started therapy 2 years ago to help deal with some serious health issues/surgeries and now here I am. It's like coming full circle in a way.
