Hello dinopup(such a cute name!) and welcome to or community! I am Wanna I am so glad you've decided to take your flashbacks seriously. Joining a community with survivors like yourself is a great way to start your healing journey, because although we all carry our unique stories, we tend to relate to one another here. I believe that every survivor has something to share, that can make a change for someone else. All of us have had our ups and downs, and knowing someone has had a similar experience and made it through, can be very encouraging when you find yourself stuck in the same place.

I am so sorry to hear about all the complications with the process. Many members on this platform have had their legal battles, it can indeed be draining, having to prove oneself repeatedly. I am glad to hear that you have a support system and hope AS can make you feel the sense of a community.

Hello AndreaM and welcome to our community! I am Wanna First off, I am sincerely sorry about the pain and suffer you're dealing with. Words cannot describe my condolences for you. I myself filed a police report after I got violated, but sadly the case went cold. I can relate to at least some extent to the process. I hope this place will bring you the comfort and support you need and deserve. You can take things at your pace here, and you share what you'd feel comfortable to. We all carry our own unique stories, but we all have something to say, that can help other survivors. Please

You can basically talk about anything here, from trauma related topics, general mental health and co

Hello elderflower and welcome to AS! I am Wanna After Silence offers what you've just described, a way to share our story without having to involve our actual identity. Coming to terms with what happened is hard enough, and many of us appreciate a space apart from our work, friends and family. Sometimes, you just need someone to listen. Accepting that what happened was not okay is a process, especially if you deal with second guessing yourself. Many of us can relate to that as well. After Silence offers a safe place for you to connect with fellow survivors, share

Yes, we know that joining a community can feel scary, so we want to make sure to offer all newbies a warm greeting Journaling sounds like a great idea.

Hello Rainsin11, and welcome to our community! I am Wanna This community recognizes the none-physical aspect of trauma as well, including stalking, being manipulated, bullied by family or a partner, religious pressures etc etc. I myself am a survivor of mental abuse growing up, and while it's harder to explain what happened when the abusive parent didn't lay hands on you, I feel understood by members here. This is a safe place for you to connect with fellow survivors, and share what you'd feel comfortable to. There's no pressure, you decide what you'll post about. Our community is
