Hello  I'm new too so thought I would say hi to you! I've found it helpful to just look through the forums slowly and see what is relevant and where. I hope you find lots of support here

Hi Beth123 welcome to After Silence. You can pretty much start anywhere you feel comfortable. Once you have reached 10 posts (can be creating your own topics and/or simply replying to topics) you will be able to access the Share Your Story section. There is no pressure to talk about what happened to you or how extensively.

Welcome to AS Beth123 ,

my advice make sure you read the rules just so you don't get in any trouble, & after that just get comfortable with the place  .

 

if you need anything there plenty of people to ask for help  .

Looking around is the best way to start. After that, it really depends on you. We all experience AS and what it can do for us in different ways. There is no pressure or judgment. I do wish you well on your healing journey.

Hi Beth123, welcome to AS! I agree with others that a good way to start is having a look through the various forums for topics or threads that are relevant to you. I would suggest pacing yourself a little bit at first  depending how you are feeling it can be easy to be triggered, but  you will find what works best for you .  I wish you the best on your path to healing.
