Hi

[relgym]

Hi. I'm new to AS, just joined today. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the posts here. I'm also a bit scared/ashamed to admit that I need to be part of this community, but I hope that joining helps me to feel less alone and less afraid and ashamed.

Hi Relgym,

Welcome to Aftersilence. Your concerns are legitimate. You don't have to be ashamed to be apart of this community or anything else. You know why? Because what happened is NOT your fault. Someone else took control and advantage and did something that is against the law. No, it's not okay for people to hurt others.

I get you're feeling overwhelmed right now, and that's okay too. Take it slow as you need too. Maybe start off with forums like humour and silliness (yes we have fun here too!). If you need help finding your way around the boards please let me know as well, and I'll be happy to help.
