It's Been A While


Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone!

I don't know if anyone will remember me, since it's been a few years since I last posted, but I'm Leah, and I stopped posting a while back because I hit a busy/good patch in my life where I was handling things outside of the forum.

I am a 12 year survivor of CSA and I've come a long way since I joined After Silence. When I joined the forum, I had just started therapy and I wanted a place to talk to other survivors. Now, I'm no longer regularly going to therapy, I'm almost 21, and I'm in college. I've entered a relationship for the first time with an amazing guy who helps me so much and tries his best to understand when I'm having a rough time.

Some new, fun stuff about me: I love Paramore and Green Day, playing ukulele, writing (I'm majoring in English and minoring in Professional Writing), I'm a feminist, and I love hockey, specifically the Montreal Canadiens!

Without therapy being a regular event, I find myself falling into rough patches every so often. I remembered the amazing support I got here when I was regularly posting and thought I'd give it a go again :) I can't promise daily postings because of my business with school and such, but I'd love to help others who are new to this healing journey as well as learn from others.

Thanks for reading, and I hope I can get to know some new faces and be re-introduced to some familiar ones! :)

Hi Leah, :wave:

I guess that I am a new face, but I will welcome you back. I've been her just over a month and have found good advice, kind support, and wonderful friends. I hope you find what you need to help you thru your rough patches. I do find this a wonderful site. Best wishes to you.

Mary
