It's been here for me for the past 17 years. I know where I would be had it not been for finding this site way back then,

A debt I can never repay.

Nothing is too much.
There are always people listening.
I have not experienced any judgement.
There are parts of my story that other people share, and others that people have provided vital perspective on.
Havoca is not a place for Brightsiding and Toxic Positivity. Phew.
I feel held. Genuinely held.

It's the first place ever that I feel I belong.

I can tell my truth, be heard, understood and not judged.

I've never met any of you, but a few of you feel like dear, old friends.

There is so much support here and everyone is so kind and thoughtful.

I don't feel alone anymore, and while I wish I could take everyone's pain away, I am most grateful you are there.

I would be utterly lost without Havoca xxx

I’m never alone
There’s others that understand
There’s constant consistent support
It’s anonymous so I am free to be myself without fear

it has opened up a whole new level of healing for me
i was hiding for almost 60 years, feeling alone,
not understanding the process of healing and how important it is to share my truth and myself
i never felt safe enough to do that

thank you HAVOCA

Can be the version of myself that I am if that makes sense , I'm meaning the various versions we all have to be and had to be to fit in to different areas of our lives , family version, friends version,colleagues version ,public version ,sports version ,spacesuit version logging into havoca is like unlocking the door after a noisy day and taking the weight of your feet and relaxing into a alternate world where everyone has a level of understanding and heart because of all our lived experiences

The support is great here!
I posted this back in 2018.

Havoca has since become a place where I can share it all, even the things I would've most certainly doubted happened 4 years ago when I posted the above description of this wonderful forum.

I've come to learn so much and have been able relate to others even though my abuse is out there, out there, I still find common ground with others in their abuse. As a result I no longer feel so alone in my struggles to heal.

And most of all, I'm moving toward thriving more and more each day. I know with therapy alone that I would have not achieved this.
