Hi pistachio.

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry you have reasons to be here, but I am glad you decided to reach out. What happened to you was unfair and undeserved and being recent, I'm sure there is still a lot of shock and confusion you are dealing with. I'm very sorry you went thru this. You will find this a place with many understanding and supportive members. You are not alone.

Your intro was just fine and what we expect in this public forum...a brief intro and a reason why you are here. There will be plenty of time to post more in our private forums when you feel comfortable to do so. I do suggest looking around and getting a feel for the place. 

Again, I'm glad you decided to reach out. I wish you the best on this healing journey.

Mary

Hello pistachio and welcome on board! I am Wanna

I can imagine that you are going through a turbulent time right now. When our experience is so raw, a roller-coaster with chock,  anger, anxiety and numbness usually follows. Accepting what happened and coping is a process, but you are not alone. I believe every survivor can benefit from contact with fellow survivors, as we can offer each other support and empathy by relating to and understanding one another's trauma. 

Please know, you are not alone, and that we believe you. 

Take your time to settle in, and feel free to throw me a PM with questions or if you'd need a little vent/chat. Us staff are here for you! 

So long, take care
