Hello FDS! I hope you're all doing well. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for just existing being a safe space for women. Since January, after my breakup with my ex who emotionally abused me, I have been lurking on this subreddit and reading as many as posts I can daily. And it's through these posts, not only have I become aware of the injustices within our current system, but I have also learned to invest in myself to become a strong, independent woman. In fact, I actually found out that I have landed a job in the STEM field, so thank you for encouraging all women to focus on levelling up!

Admittedly, I still have a long way to go with fully recovering from my traumas. But I'm sure with the help of this community, my recovery will be much faster.
