Hi

I'm new here. I'm so grateful to everyone who has shared their experiences in this forum before me. I've found a place where my feelings feel normal. Since "the knock" I've not felt as though my feelings belong in the real world. No one talks to me about what's going on, it's only been 6 weeks, it's still so new and raw.



I'm hoping I feel ready to share more soon, Thank you x

Hey Julie,

It's good to hear you've found some comfort in the posts. The first few weeks are definitely surreal and a rollercoaster of emotions. Whenever you're ready to share or ask for advice, we're all here to offer support.

Look after yourself xx

Hi Julie, I'm sorry you find yourself here but you couldn't find a more supportive group of people. I hope you can take some comfort from reading the posts and that you'll be able to share your own thoughts in time.

Sending hugs xx

Hi Julie

Sorry to find yourself in this situation. Like you I'm new and it's still extremely raw.

The only advice I can give is be kind to yourself and take time out for yourself.

We are all here to help as best we can and the ladies on this forum are extremely helpful.

Hi Julie,
Sorry you have had to join this forum but as per previous posts this site is full of supportive and kind people who have been unfortunate to have to join themselves.
You and like many others on here are most likely still in a state of shock after The knock. Your whole world has been turned upside down and trying to process what has just happened is so unbelievable.
My advice is to confide in someone close to you who can support you. Try and encourage openness and honesty with your partner and look after yourself, if you are struggling speak to your GP who shoukd be non judgemental and be a great source of support to you.
When we were at your stage I could not see the wood for the trees, we are now the other side of sentencing and whilst life is different we are moving on positively.

We are all here to support you and help you, we all understand because we have all either been or still going through this journey albeit everyone's situation and circumstances may be different.

I hope you continue to post and always remember we are here day and night..

Love Katie x
