Finally Trying To Work This All Out

[kena64]

Hi I'm a senior in high school and I'm tired of thinking and worrying about something that happened to me almost 3 years ago while all my friends are worrying about stuff like getting into a good college. I tried talking to them about it at first but none of them understand why I haven't gotten over it so over the past year or so I've sort of tried to block it out and deal with it myself.

I've finally come to the realization that this is not working and I don't see this going away and on top of that I feel like I've been dealing with this all the wrong way and am now worse off than before. I'm a complete emotional wreck right now so I hope you guys will bare with me.

I found After Silence a few days ago and joined pretty much immediately but I've been to scared to post anything until now. I hope I'm doing this right.

So hi!

Hi kena,

I'm new, too, and it took me a lot longer than 3 years to have the courage to come here. I really applaud you!

I don't have any insights but wanted to say I read your post and that you're not alone in being new, trying to figure out the board, and how scary it is to post.

I'm glad you're here.
