WannaMoveOn

Hey there Ingrid, you can call me Wanna! Your dog sounds adorable I don't have one myself, but I have been dog sitting a lot and love playing and cuddling with dogs. It sounds like you've been through a lot of trauma, making trust issues and lack of self confidence understandable. I myself have been there too, many times. Having a support system of fellow survivors can help you rebuild your confidence and offers the opportunity to reclaim your voice, as us survivors tend to relate to each other. I hope this place will make you feel supported in the way you need and deserve. Please

Hey there Lara, I am Wanna, nice to meet you as well. I am happy you decided to join our community, as I hope you'll find that extra support you deserve and need. When we confront our past, we might feel overwhelmed and lost at times. With a support system of fellow survivors, you can feel less alone with your experiences and find people who can relate and offer advice. Although our stories are unique, some trauma responses seem universal among survivors. We believe you. I will send you a PM with some info. Please feel free to contact me or any staff by choice for questions, assista

Joining a community is a way to read other survivor's stories and to discuss the patterns. Most cases of SA/R happen in close relationships and in ways that are not usually portayed by pop culture media. It usually involves a process of manipulation, trauma bonding and mental abuse. It is also okay to change one's mind last minute, nobody has the right to your body expect you, and only you can consent. I hope this community will offer you that extra support that you need and deserve. Take your time to settle in here, I am just one PM away.

Hello cuttochoose and welcome to AfterSilence! I am Wanna I completely understand your wish to move forward in life, I mean, just look at my username, right? When we are healing, we need to actively confront our past from time to time. We so often make excuses for the perp or minimize our own experience, often second guessing what actually happened. However, our reactions and suffer is our greatest witness; We would never choose to feel the way we do, or to carry trauma for years to come. When we reclaim our voices and own our stories, the guilt and shame can be directed to the right per

Oh I really recommend it! Language is a constantly shifting process, but due to the internet and moderation on social platforms, there's an intense global linguistic evolution. I think Aleksic summarizes it very well.

Navigating towards self help books and healing (I guess that is kind of the genre) sounds good. Reading is a great way to channel new impressions into our minds and shift our mentality. I myself mostly read cheesy romantic novels, I am very open about that. But I also enjoy books about societal issues from time to time. I read "Algospeak" by Adam Aleksic some time ago, which was about how the internet influences our way to use words and form sentences. The book wasn't too long, but learned a lot!.

Any time, just one PM away in case you'd need a little chat or help getting started on AS!

Hello and welcome to AS, I am Wanna Being a survivor can feel awfully lonely at times, why an online community can be a great way to expand your support system. Having a network of fellow survivors who can relate helps in many ways, and I hope this site will bring you that extra comfort that you deserve and need. Even though every survivor's story is different, we tend to relate to each other here. You sound like a creative soul, I enjoy singing and writing myself. Please let me know if I can be at any help. I was actually your age, when I first got here, and I've been here e

Hey there Pink_pixie78 and welcome to AS! You can call me Wanna Theater and concerts are also something that makes my heart sing. I was actually a poet/drama kid back in high school. Finding a community outside of therapy is a very good idea, since many survivors tend to feel isolated and alone with their experiences from time to time. Having access to a group of people, who have walked that mile too, is helpful in many ways. Please know that we believe you You decide what to share and when, how often you sign in and how you'd prefer to use this forum. Everyone has th

Hey there, Lise! Welcome to our community, I am glad you've chosen AS to be your extended support system If you are in any current danger of domestic violence, please make sure AS does not appear in your internet history, for your own sake. You can PM me or any other staff for directions on how to use AS discretely, would you take any risks by being here. I like reading too, although work and studies get in the way at the moment. I am not so much into manga, but I love a good romantic novel, especially taking place in a vintage era. Julia Quinn and Phillipa Gregory are two author's

Hello and welcome to our community! I am a bit late in the welcome wagon, but thought I'd just hop on and wish you the best of luck on your healing journey. I hope AS will offer you what you need in a community, as I believe every survivor benefits from a support system with fellow survivors. Your dog sounds adorable! I actually almost went to nursing school myself, but decided to go into teaching instead. However, I did work as a caretaker part time and found it very rewarding. I am currently a student too, so if you'd need some study tips while coping with trauma, you can always
