Let me introduce myself …
Hey lovely person reading,
How are you today? Hope it’s going better than mine.
Mine has been a bitter but strangely sweet emotional day. Oh but first let me introduce myself I’m Anna Russel and i’m a domestic abuse survivor and have been for the past 5 years now and as much as it has been freeing physically….boy has it been catastrophic mentally and emotionally, But anyways welcome to my medium profile or what i like to call my ‘Online journal’ I’ll be talking about any and everything, from my strolls to the shops to my traumatic relationships.
I am not perfect nor am I a therapist; however I am a survivor trying to comfort, guide and relate to other survivors. Letting them know they are not alone nor are their feelings invalid. My aim is to
- Continue to find healing
- Begin to step out of my box of being embarrassed & ashamed that i was in a abusive relationship to begin with
- Help others in anyway possible
- Raise awareness
- Identify the signs and traits
Well those are my aims so far i hope to grow as i write so do bare with me I’m new to this lol. So anyway that’s it for now i’m off to drink my cuppa and watch a movie.
