Hey there Lara, 

I am Wanna, nice to meet you as well. I am happy you decided to join our community, as I hope you'll find that extra support you deserve and need. When we confront our past, we might feel overwhelmed and lost at times. With a support system of fellow survivors, you can feel less alone with your experiences and find people who can relate and offer advice. Although our stories are unique, some trauma responses seem universal among survivors. We believe you.

I will send you a PM with some info. Please feel free to contact me or any staff by choice for questions, assistance, or just a little chat. 

We are here for you!

So long, take care.

Dear lara

 

 

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!
