missfrier Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Dear running : Welcome to After Silence!! I'm sorry for what you have been through. I find it is easier to talk on forums then out loud. Being here has helped me so much, even from the first time I ever posted. It is still helping me - I have so much support here and I know you will, as well. Here at AS, we are like a big family and our members are kind and non-judgemental. I am sending you lots of safe hugs!  Take care! Link to post
snmls Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hey there @Running Welcome to AS. You are pretty amazing too because you are a survivor. I'm sorry for the things that happened in your life that brought you to this site, but I'm glad you found us. This is a safe space and you are always welcome here. Everyone is so supporting and we are all happy to help. I felt similar when I first joined. I just felt so lost and alone, but you are never alone here. Take your time checking out the site and the forums and post whenever you feel comfortable. I hope you end up finding this site as helpful as I do. Link to post

2Siamese Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 @Running Welcome Thanks for being here. I'd like to acknowledge what you went through that brought you here is never easy. It is scary at first! Agreed. Once you have experienced rejection everywhere else like most of us have even in medical facilities being mishandled... then you find AS genuinely safe and welcoming... it gets much easier indeed. You're accepted as well as always welcome. Thank you for braving that first big step. :: Safe Hugs :: 2Siamese "Keep going! I'll cheer you on!" Link to post
Hope49 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi, Running: Welcome to After Silence. I'm new too. I joined about about 10 days ago. Within the first few days, I felt so much support. I could relate to the words "running" and "overwhelmed." My incident took place 10 months ago. I have definitely buried myself in my job and isolated myself to avoid my trauma. i also tend to run away from it by sleeping to avoid the pain. I'm here to cheer you on. Hope49 Link to post
Running Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thank you all, already feeling much more relaxed here. you are all strong & amazing Link to post
