Hi Abigail Welcome to AS What a nice doc, it's definately a lot easier to get support here than face to face and having to say things outloud. Think the anonymity also helps a lot to make it easier to be able to say how we feel or tell our story All the best and hope to see you around

Hi Lauren, welcome to AS, Am really sorry that something has happened so recently, are you getting any support for this? Like everyone says it is a common reaction to feel numb after something traumatic, it's like a defence mechanism to protect us from overwhelming feelings. All the best
