Welcome Chlo .this is exactly how I felt when I first came on AS, it took me some time to be able to make the first post, but I just began by reading some posts and like vakry said, I became to discover that I wasn't alone and people here are really friendly. You can express yourself and say however you feel, you won't be judged, everyone is here to help so just take your time and get to know people and post whenever your ready to In terms of the age thing, don't worry, I feel this too but over time it won't matter much and not everyone is much older. I saw that your 18 right? I'm 20, so jus

A secret sealed for 4 long years in silence I suffer shedding tears, Never ever have I spoken of this I cry and shield behind a fake bliss, once by 3 strangers which the world knows but the first assault is an unknown prose, I whisper this secret for the first time he's regrettably free from a horrific crime, the pain and the ache the wounds not healed he stabbed my heart but the crime just sealed, he spoke of his affection my feelings weren't mutual so was it revenge from me being truthful, being punished for the secret I hold fear and anxiety before I'd unfold, I fought and fought it wasn't

Thank you tonysullivan for the support, yeah it can be a cruel world out there. We just have to be careful in who we trust. Thanks again Thank you also angelina! What you said made a lot of sense and I didn't really think about loving and trusting myself first. I think this may not happen or may take a veryy long time because I've never been able to love myself I guess trying to is the first step. Thank you for the support.

It's still taking me awhile to write up my entire story ..finding the courage

Strangers. Never will I trust again! After being kidnapped into a car, taken to a strangers house, r***d and assaulted by 3 complete strangers, my view of the outside world threatens me. Panic. Fear. Anxiety. All of which hit my emotions as soon as I step out into the open world. I fear of a stranger. They may seem kind on the out, but are they bitter within? Their words may be gentle, but are they repeating a sin? They may glance politely, but are their thoughts opposed? Their humanity may seem true, but are their hearts just closed? How can I trust again if anyone, including close ones, I se

Wow, that was really powerful! I'm sorry that you were hurt so much! Keep strong

Thank you I'm glad I could be of some inspiration to you keep strong.

Rise above the water And take a deep breath, Do not give up Or it'll lead to your death. Learn to take control And feel the power within, Grasp it really tight To help you truly win. It's not simply a game But a special precious life, That has been really ruined Causing so much strife. Rise above the water Don't let yourself drown, Take this one chance To turn it back around.

Rise above the water Don't let yourself

How do you know when a smile is a true smile? There's this girl, she loves making people laugh and seeing that real smile on people's faces. She can give some good advice and loves helping others when in need, she's not perfect but her heart is always in the right place. The only thing is, she is so good at putting on a smile on the outside that no one can see her frown on the inside. She's hurting. Broken. Destroyed within. She doesn't know how much of this she can take before she bursts, before it all gets TOO much to handle than it already is. She needs help and guidance but she's too afra
