I am new to the for and I have been working on recovery for 5 years, this is the first time I have reach out to other surviours. I am very greatful for this website and look forward to talking you all.

Is there any online chat groups for support/talk or just try to help others?

The link That says "chat" opens up a chat room on these forums. I strongly suggest you join us in chat at some point, we have Healing Center-a moderated sharing on wednesday and Sunday ! Just ask around and we'd love to have you!

Hi HappyDays, and welcome to the MS site. Glad you are here and hope this place will be of help to you as it has been to so many.

Hi HappyDays,

Welcome to MS.

I am glad you have found this place of healing and support.

If you do not have a therapist I strongly suggest you get one as soon as your circumstances allow you to do so. For help in finding a therapist please read the Consumers Guide to Therapist Shopping. Psychology Today has listings for all states and counties. You can choose the type of therapist you are seeking as well as the area(s) to which you are willng to travel. Also check your county rape crisis center. They offer services to males and females, at no cost to county residents. Some offer support groups in addition to individual therapy. Healing from these horrors is not an endeavor to be done without the help of a professional, preferably one trained to work with trauma and/ or sexual abuse.

At your own pace, read the boards and wander into chat. The lounge (chat) is open 24 hours a day though it isn't always populated.

We also have moderated chats called Healing Circles. They meet on Sunday and Wednesday evenings at 9pm eastern time and one on Tuesday at 19:00 UTC (European and African time zone) which translates to 2 PM Eastern US time zone. The Healing Circle on Tuesdays is scheduled to resume in September.

Again, welcome to MS.

I do have a great conseller, the hard part is finding a support group for men like us. I am at the point that I would to talk openly about this to other people, I just can not find anything round here.

Hi Happy Days, welcome to Male survivor!
I've started therapy couple months ago and I don't have any opportunity for attending some group sessions. So I've found Healing circle as great tool for us who needs some additional group work.
Anomalous gave you link to instructions, it is needed to be in chat room at the time of Healing circle session. Sunday and Wednesday evenings at 9pm eastern time and one on Tuesday at 19:00 UTC (European and African time zone) which translates to 2 PM Eastern US time zone. The Healing Circle on Tuesdays is scheduled to resume in September, currently it is summer break. While you'll be in chat room at time of Healing circle you'll get invitation from someone who moderate group and for rest you will be guided, it is not complicated. Try and let us know how do you like it!
Be well!
