Hello!

Post by Spiderling55 »

Hi there.

Long time listener, but just launching into the forums.

My struggles, as noted in my profile, are: PTSD, anxiety, anorexia and depression.
I am a survivor of multiple rapes as well as sexual abuse and partner abuse.

I write for and moderate an online support group for survivors of sexual assault and do some peer counseling on the side as well.

I'm 35 and I love nature (I am almost always listening to these podcasts while hiking), dogs (there's one asleep on my lap right now!), gaming, reading, writing and just generally being a sponge for all sorts of information both trivial and otherwise. I'm a nerd and I was bullied A LOT in school. In fact, I switched schools multiple times before high school as my parents tried to help me escape the constant verbal and physical abuse.

I'm pretty timid when it comes to standing up for myself but loyal and ragey when it comes to those I care for and love.

I'm bisexual, married and I have a baby on the way. I think that's about it.

Glad to be here! :)
