Welcome to Hive @gemsking

It makes me so happy to see younger humans joining the community and finding better platforms than Instagram! :D Yeay!!!

Instagram and Facebook are such toxic environments for people. :(

It sounds as though you've had a really tough time of it and there are many people on Hive who have had similar experiences in their lives. They also share their experience, and how they are recovering and healing, on Hive. It might be good for you to find a community that you can join, that fits with your experience.

I know I've healed a lot by finding like-minded people around here who are also trying to heal and move forward to a positive healthy future. Recovery is possible! 💥

Perhaps @kittygirl and @brittandjosie can guide you on a good one to start in? They also run a channel on Discord to help get new users going.

I hope you tell all your friends about Hive and bring them along as well. It would make my year if everyone moved away from Facebook and Instagram forever.

I can tell that you've been through a great deal. I know, from personal experience, that if you make the effort to connect with and meet people in the Hive community, that you will surely feel safe enough to be You around here. ❤️ And that the support and validation of you being yourself will help you recover enormously.

You are safe to be yourself here.

See you around the Hive-verse.
