Hi!


Recommended Posts

I am new to this site and really to just opening up about my feelings and about my trauma in general. It has been a little over a year now but I have realized I can't just put it behind me I have to figure out how to heal and make sense of my life. I have lost relationships from family to friends over this and I just need to find some support and people who understand my pain and maybe help feeling better! The justice system failed me and I just can't keep failing myself anymore. It's time I try to heal!

Hi SMarie.

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry about the trauma you have suffered, but you have found a very supportive site. I do understand about trying to put it behind you, I tried to deny my trauma for many years. I understand that it just doesn't go away, and I think many of us really just wished it would. But yes, to move on, we do need to figure out how to heal. I am sorry the justice system failed you, but am very happy you have decided NOT to fail yourself. :) I wish you well on your healing journey.

Mary

Hello SMarie :hi:

I'm so sorry to hear that all that has happened to you and that you've been failed by people close to you and the system. I gently say that I am sure you haven't failed yourself - it sounds like you've been hurt terribly and I'm sure you've done the best you can to survive and cope with trauma nobody should have to endure.

I'm glad that you found the courage to join here and I hope that by belonging here it can help you in moving forward in the ways you hope - making sense of things, speaking out what you feel, and gaining understanding from kind and compassionate supporters. I hope AS (After Silence) members will walk beside you as we all journey our healing path.

Strength to you,

Activist Ally
