New And Afraid


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I just joined the group today, and while I'm definitely looking forward to hearing from other people who have shared similar experiences, I'm also still in a very vulnerable place. My abuse was only a month ago, and I'm only 20 years old so it still feels like this gaping wound that I can't even begin to heal. I'm hoping joining the site will help me to hear from other survivors how you all cope with your own experiences.

Hello kmccorma,

Welcome to AS. I'm very sorry for the trauma you have suffered. It was wrong and you did not deserve it. You have found a very supportive sight, tho, and the members are very kind and understanding. Reaching out is one step in what I hope will be many for you. I wish you the best on your healing journey.

So sorry to hear that you've suffered that so recently and at such a young age :(

I do want to welcome you to AS and I hope that we can help support you as long as you would like and that you will feel as if we are walking beside you with compassion as you begin the process of healing even though it seems hard to contemplate at this moment that it can ever heal.

With support,

Welcome! I'm new here too, but my abuse was 40+ years ago. It's so good that you are faciing it now rather than waiting for years like I did. I'm so sorry for what you have gone through.

This seems like a very supportive place and I'm sure you will find some help here. We can get through this together.
