@Doll6 thank you for the well wishes!

[A Friendly Howl-Hello]

Hi!

I’m LittleWolf - which is a username I’ve never gone by before, so I don’t quite know what shortened versions will come from it yet. (It’ll be a surprise!) I use she/her pronouns.

I’m a lesbian who is recovering from CSA and intimate partner violence. Until a few days ago, I had never told anyone about what happened to me. I told a trusted mentor in my life, who promptly started looking for free and accessible resources for survivors, and forwarded me the link to this website. It’s still hard to believe I belong here, to believe my own story - but I know I want to be in a better place than I am now. 

I am uninsured and low income, though I have accessed the free counseling offered by my university (until it ran out.)

The main reason I’m making this post is that I was hoping to access the LGBT+ and women’s sections of the forum. I saw in the FAQ and such that I could reach out and ask, so,,, reaching out! Asking! Hurray!

Some fun facts: this summer I’m doing  genomics research through a university program! This will be the first summer I ever spend away from my family. (I am excited!)

I love animals and genetics and basically all of biology, I’m an artist (I drew my profile picture really quickly for this website - shouldn’t be identifiable to me), I like to play video games, I’m autistic, my special interests are genetics and wolves (surprise surprise)…

If you’ve read this far - thanks! I look forward to getting to know you.
