First Post

I'm here after a long time of hiding from what has happened to me. I signed up to the site a while back and have been reading the forums waiting for what felt like the right moment to get involved. Now feels right. My life is getting on track but I'm could certainly use some support. I'm hoping this is my first post of many!

Hi Jules,

Welcome to AS. I'm glad that you have decided the time is right for you, but am also glad that you took time to look around and get the feel of things. Not everyone is ready at the same time and that is ok. You most likely have seen how supportive and kind people can be. I do wish you well on your healing journey.

It is. At the moment I'm just overwhelmed by the number of survivors out there and am scrolling through lots of the site and wishing I'd found it a long time ago. It seems really silly but I've never really thought about the rest of the world... and what may or may not have happened to other people out there... this has always been something I've dealt with privately and with a small wonderful network of close supporters. Its always been a very personal horror. Realising that there are thousands of people out there living and breathing and struggling and healing, like me, is upsetting - this is the world we live in? But its also filled me with hope, and a feeling of belonging. And I know this is exactly what I need at the point I'm at.

Best wishes with your recovery ihopetosave. :)

I can really relate to your experience Jules! The first time I was ever given the opportunity to share about my experience with other abuse survivors was in a group therapy session a couple of years ago. I knew there had to be other people out there who'd been through it and could relate, but getting to talk to them and listen to their stories was so powerful! It felt like sharing the load, rather than just carrying it all by myself. I'm new here, but I'm hopeful that this will be a really positive experience for healing!
