start gently, with maybe just the fun games, then maybe something like todays victories, random thought dump until you feel comfortable enough to maybe answer a post or post something yourself.

Hi Silver,

Welcome back to AS. Yes, the number of new members every day is very sad. I never realized before I got here how many of us there actually is, and we are just the ones that come forward and was willing to seek a place like this out. On the positive side, many of us felt alone before coming here, and that is no longer true. If you haven't seen already, this is a very supportive site with many kind people.

Glad you got past your original nerves and started to post. Everyone tends to be nervous at first because of how heavy most the topics get. The one thing I learned is to go at your own pace. There is no right time span for healing, as long as you do what is right for you. Good luck on your healing journey.

Mary

Well, yes, it is sad. But it also makes it easier to validate your own experience, which for some of us feels so 'out there' and isolating that we think we are the only person in the world it can have happened to. The reality is, there are many people suffering from the after effects of sexual violence. I think being able to talk about it with people who've gone through similair things is quite therapeutic.
