Tentatively New

[Silvera]

Hello,

Not sure what to say really...I'm here for a few different reasons, acceptence, validation, comarderie, this seems like on ok place. I don't know, for a while I didn't think I would ever need/want to join a place like this (there are reasons for that) and I'm a bit...nervous. I'm here as both a Survivor and Supporter, the realities and aftermath of abuse (in many forms) are sadly not unknown to me in more ways than one.

I hesitate to say much more in an introduction, so for now I'll just say thank-you to this place of support for even existing.

Hello,

I am tentatively new here myself. I too thought that I would not need a place like this, but I am glad to have found it as well. I am a Survivor and a Supporter as well and am willing to share this journey with you and support you.

Silvera,

Hello and welcome to AS. It's ok to be nervous, I think we all are when we first get here, but you will find a lot of support and friendly people here. Look around and get used to the site, when you are ready, we will be here for you. We understand and you are not alone.

Thank-you for the welcome everyone!

And though I may be new I'm already sensing that this is a deeply supportive place and I am glad I joined

Hello,

No pressure here. I'm new and it's been real good here so far. Even if you don't have much to say for now, just knowing that you're not alone will be a huge help. Do whatever is comfortable for you. No judging here at all. So, from one new person here to another, welcome and I hope you find the peace you seek.
