[sarah44]

Im Sarah, 56  years old. I seeked  this group out as a last ditch attempt to try and heal myself. 

Im sick of feeling stuck in survivor mode constantly.

I'm hoping to be able to support others whilst getting support for myself.

Hi Sarah and welcome.

I am very sorry for the trauma you have experienced and the struggles you have faced. What happened to you was not deserved or fair. You will find support here tho, with many understanding and kind members. You are not alone.

It was courageous for you to reach out. The healing road might have many bumps and curves, but it is important to keep working your way forward with any step you can take. Joining us here is one of those steps. 

Feel free to look around and interact where you feel comfortable. Wishing you many more forwards steps on this journey.

Mary

Hello Sarah, I am Wanna  I hope you've had a restful weekend. I am glad you chose this forum, this is a safe place for us survivors to connect. You can discuss anything here really, would it be specifics of your trauma, coping strategies or just plain life. You decide what to share, of course. No pressure!

We all carry a unique story, but survivors tend to relate to each other. You deserve to feel better and experience a functional life. We believe you

I am just one private message away if you'd need some company or support. Us staff are here for you! 

Take gentle care / W ☀️

@sarah44  Hi Sara   Welcome.  I understand when you say your tired of being where you are.  I have felt that many times.  Healing is not linear.  It is up and down, stagnant, and sometimes comes in big waves.    Be kind and gentle with yourself.  You deserve peace and healing.  Can I sit with you? 🤗
