Hi!

[lila28]

Hi everyone, 

I´m 24 and live in Ecuador, English is not my first language so I hope I don´t make too many mistakes and you can understand me. 

Multiple therapists have dismissed my feelings and trauma so I started talking to an AI that gave a link to this site. I hope to find support for what I went through here, even though I still dont believe what happended to me and my feelings toward it are valid. 

I looove Harry Potter, dancing (specially salsa and bachata), reading and painting. Im happy to be here.

Hi Lila and welcome to the community. 

I'm very sorry for what you've been thru and disappointed and annoyed that you had multiple therapists dismiss your feelings and experiences. You will not find such disregard here. You, your feelings, and your story matter. You deserve support and healing. This community has many understanding and kind members who will be able to relate and validate, if not by actual experience, then by struggles. I am glad you found us and decided to reach...tho this is the first I've heard of AI recommending us. It still gave you the opportunity to find us, so I'm appreciative of it doing so.

Take your time to look around and interact at your own pace. Know you are among friends. I wish you many healing steps on your journey.

Mary

Thank you all so much, I think I finally found a safe place to talk about what I can't in real life.
