Hey guys this is my first time on this site or any online forum for that matter, and I came here to stop feeling so isolated as this has really been dragging me back down. I was abused as a child, and still struggle with it as I feel there are parts of me I have not yet recovered.
For about 5 years I have had a head strong take on my pain and have channeled it into helping others giving me a relentless drive, however recently I realized the pain is still there, and I eventually need to deal with it if I ever want to become whole again. I believe learning to talk about it with others is the first step to this as I have learned I can not do it on my own. I need support.

Hi vivance! I'm sorry for the pain that caused you to need to reach out to this site, but you couldn't be in a better place. I've only been here for a couple weeks and I already feel more support from the people here than I've felt in my life. I hope you find the healing and support you need. :aswelcomesu:

Hello vivance,

Welcome to AS. This is a very supportive site with many kind and understanding members. I am sorry for your trauma, but your first step was realizing you can't do it alone, but you also made a second step...you did something about it and came here. Every step counts, and I wish you well on your healing journey.

Mary

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! Hopefully with all of your support, the feelings of isolation will finally dissipate, and I will learn how senior members have handeled their pain thus giving me access to new coping mechanisms, and the knowledge it is possible to overcome this.

Thanks again everone! I am glad I am here.

Hi Joey, it is nice to meet you as well. It seems after reading your post on the other thread, that we cam here for a lot of the same reasons. I as well found the isolation to be crippling, and it is what drove me to get involved here. Though I will say after joining this site, I do not feel nearly as isolated so it is helping.

I hope you also find healing here, and if there is ever anything I can do, or you need to talk just let me know!
