Hi

[HardRamen]

I wanted to say hello.  I have been putting it off for so long, but after a very lovely Thanksgiving yesterday (happy Thanksgiving everyone!) I feel centered enough to finally take this first step.   My experiences are long in the past but still affect me every day.  I think I have come to terms with them but perhaps seeing how others are dealing with their traumas will give me a better perspective on my own journey of healing.  I wish you all peace.

Hello HardRamen,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the trauma you've endured and the struggles you still face. It wasn't deserved. You have found a very supportive community with many understanding and kind members. You are not alone.

There is something to said by interacting with others who have experienced similar things or struggle similar struggles. It's something most others can't fully understand. Take your time to look around and post or respond to others when you feel comfortable doing so.

I wish you the best on your journey.

Mary

Dear hardramen

 

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!
