Victim of crime

So I noticed there wasn't a support group specific to issues victims of crime face... and well while my depression existed prior to the crime it definitely wasn't helped by it- and I thought if there are any others in here struggling because of the trauma a crime created or the legal system aftermath- then maybe we can share in the Victims of crime group if you feel like it. I could use some people to talk to. It's crazy but I have lost a maternal aunt and now my paternal uncle to murder. Both profoundly impacted me. Right now though it is my Uncles situation that has me awake at 3am. It's the anniversary of his last known day of life- and I had not recognized that as being why I am so moody today.

you can go into the community groups and start your own victims of crime group in that forum and then advertise it to friends and others on some of the groups your active on....I created a helping with the housework group myself to deal with the issue that brought me here,..

Thank you. I do t have many friends here because I am infrequently present- but I did notice that feature when I was creating the support group. I placed it under the personal challenges because It doesn’t quite fit anywhere but impacts so much. I appreciate you reaching out to help ❤️

Hi
Are you feeling traumatized? It sure sounds traumatic.
Have you thought about a trauma group on DS?

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
