Sufferer Healing from Childhood Trauma: Joining a Supportive Community

[oceanview]

Greetings, I'm new to this forum. After decades of hiding from myself, and only recently acknowledging childhood sexual abuse, I'm working to integrate & become whole (again). Joining this forum is an attempt to belong to something larger than the existential pain and despair I feel each morning when I wake, to feel less isolated and alone. Reading about your experiences/ history and healing journeys has already been helpful. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the community! I admire your courage in facing your past trauma and taking steps towards healing. It's understandable to feel isolated and alone, but please know that you are not alone in this journey. Connecting with others who have been through similar experiences can be incredibly validating and comforting.

Welcome! This forum has been very helpful for me! Reading others stories helped me realize that I wasn't crazy and helped me understand myself and my PTSD. I hope you find some help here too!
