hey everyone, i just wanted to say sorry im not on more often and able to talk to anyone who wants to. as im struggling with anxiety and depression, ive had some trouble keeping up with anything beyond the day-to-day requirements. i will be going back on anxiety medication shortly, so with time ill hopefully be a bit more present. i want to welcome our new members, and honestly im proud that slowly but surely, we are growing. now i dont know how many women are active on this site, but i do know that a lot of women are ashamed of what happened to them and are afraid to even share their pain in an anonymous setting. you should all be patting yourselves on the back for taking the first step. let's hope more will follow.
