Hi! I'm new here, i hope you're having a nice day/night, don't forget to drink water!

English is not my first language, I hope it's not a big deal.

Welcome to AS, you have found a safe place. Don't worry about the language. 

I always have water by my side

Hello and welcome to AS! I'm glad you found your way here. I'm sorry for what you've experienced, but you will find a lot of help here. It's ok if English isn't your first language.  Best wishes on your healing journey!

Hi welcome to this safe place @Mely_r Your English sounds fine. No worries.  You can use a google translate and also there is a site that is called deepL.com it has a certain number of words free of charge so as to translate.  So glad you found us. There are people from all different parts of the world here and some speak other languages with no trouble at all communicating.  I am living in latin america and it is winter here still.   I am drinking lots of hot drinks like herbal tea and sometimes coffee.

You will have to keep your rain gear around for a bit longer.  Think of last year how you managed.  You will do well this time too

Dear mely

 

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!

Welcome on board Mely_r, I am Wanna

No worries, English is not my first language either. Practice makes perfect, right?

I hope you're having a nice day too, that kind where the sun warms your cheek and the other side of your pillow is cold in the evening. 

I hope you'll find the comfort and support you need (and deserve) with AS. I do believe us survivors ought to stick together, because we understand one another in a way that keeps fascinating me. Some experiences seem to be truly universal, and we all have something to offer to each other here. You can exchange advice here, vent, get into other people's stories and just hopefully feel less alone.

I hope to see you around! All best W
