Hi All

[ReadytoTalkFreely]

My name is Nichole. I am 24 years old, and new to the site. I have been in therapy for a little over a year, and I have come to a point where I would like to share my story to reinforce for myself that I am not alone. I also feel that I have come to a point where talking about my experiences can help myself, and maybe even a few others. I have read a few stories and posts on here, and I can find no better place to surround myself with strong, brave people. I look forward to hearing from all of you, and letting you hear a little of my own voice. Thank you for what I already know will be a warm welcome.
