Hello!  

Welcome to After Silence.  I'm sorry to hear of the circumstances under which you've arrived but am so glad you were referred to us by a crisis hotline - and am hopeful that being here among a large community of others who understand and are in the same boat will bring you eventual peace, comfort and healing.

Take gentle care of yourself and please look around and take it all in at your own pace.  We are all ready when you are.

Hi rayofcriticalrealism,

Welcome to AS. I am so sorry for the trauma that you endured and the struggles you have been facing. You are not alone. We have many understanding and kind members who can relate to what you've been thru. It takes courage to reach out...to crisis line and to a support group like AS, and I am glad that you have. Take your time looking around and when you are ready, you can take the next step of interacting. I wish you the very best on your journey of healing.
