I'm still here. I needed a long time to get a break from all the trauma and just take things at my own pace. I think it helped at least a little.

Hello pistachio and welcome on board! I am Wanna I can imagine that you are going through a turbulent time right now. When our experience is so raw, a roller-coaster with chock, anger, anxiety and numbness usually follows. Accepting what happened and coping is a process, but you are not alone. I believe every survivor can benefit from contact with fellow survivors, as we can offer each other support and empathy by relating to and understanding one another's trauma. Please know, you are not alone, and that we believe you. Take your time to settle in, and feel free to throw me

Hi pistachio. Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry you have reasons to be here, but I am glad you decided to reach out. What happened to you was unfair and undeserved and being recent, I'm sure there is still a lot of shock and confusion you are dealing with. I'm very sorry you went thru this. You will find this a place with many understanding and supportive members. You are not alone. Your intro was just fine and what we expect in this public forum...a brief intro and a reason why you are here. There will be plenty of time to post more in our private forums when you feel comfort

Dear liberator Welcome to After Silence!! I'm sorry for what you have been through. I find it is easier to talk on forums then out loud. Being here has helped me so much, even from the first time I ever posted. It is still helping me - I have so much support here and I know you will, as well. Here at AS, we are like a big family and our members are kind and non-judgemental. I am sending you lots of safe hugs! Take care!

Hello there Liberator and welcome on board! I am Wanna, by the way After Silence offers you the opportunity to connect with fellow survivors, on your own terms. Reclaiming your voice is a process, and only you decide what to share and when. There is no pressure, as we know that every survivor has their own journey to tend. Whether you sign in daily, weekly, once a month or less than that, you are most invited to join in on our community. When processing our trauma, it's perfectly normal to feel doubt and shame at times. That's why I want you to know, that we believe you. Your words

Hi JesseRose, Welcome to Aftersilence. I am so sorry for the trauma that happened to you 16 years ago, as well as the more current assault. Both were wrong, undeserved and unfair. I'm sorry you endured both instances. I'm sorry that the second caused flashbacks of the first. No individual has a right to touch another, stranger or no. I'm sorry you endured this. It takes courage to be open, even if this your norm. There is something to be said for others who've been thru it understand a bit more. It's sad that it has happen to other of your family members and your friend. I wish you t

My name is Jesse Rose, I go by Jesse, and I’m a 63 yo trans woman. In December 24 I had a very deeply buried and hidden (even from myself) of a rape that happened to me 16 years ago before I met my ex husband. I was still a cisgendered male. Suddenly I felt as if it had just happened and I was having constant flashbacks. I saw my doctor because I needed a therapist now. I found one and got to work. Fast forward to August and I was feeling somewhat better, the flashbacks are easier to handle. I’m standing on the sidewalk in broad daylight when a man stops in front of me to compliment m

Hello! I decided my username based on my favorite colorful and vibrant pair of pants, so an easy name could be Patchy. I’m a 27 y/o gay trans guy with a history of hurt and denial. It started in childhood. But as of August-September of 2025, I left a 8 year relationship with an abusive woman. I should’ve left years ago, and I’ve been on a wild journey since. It’s been hard, but a friend recommended After Silence since I’m ready to engage in deeper healing with a community. Video games, writing and art are my biggest hobbies. I especially enjoy typography, collecting fonts, and lettering. Somet
