A Very Unsure Hello?

[Guest Ophelia]

I found this site from a link on another forum that I visit and so after a long time just looking at the pages I have plucked up courage to come in.

I'm hoping to rate myself as a survivor sometime soon, not there by a long chalk yet.

So this is a very tentative first step......

This is a very big and important first step. You should be proud.

Welcome to AS, you have taken a brave and large step and I hope that you will soon be taking many more. In the meantime don't feel you have to post, just take your time and just join in when you feel ready ...... Take care .......

Welcome hon, it is a very brave thing you did. I agree with everyone being supportive and understanding. This is helpful in the healing process. I am still new (not even here a week) but I have learned a lot already and love being here and the fact that you are not alone is so freeing. My first post I received so much understanding and words of encouragement!!!! I must of laughed and happily cried for hours. Probably looked like a fool! But it is awesome to know that you are "normal" for our histories and not alone!!! So welcome again. I am so proud of you for being here. I also agree that you don't need to post all the time (even though I seem to be going nuts this morning) but knowing they are all here is awesome.
