Trauma Community forums Daily check-in Thread - Friday 13th January 2017
Apologies for not posting a thread for yesterday 12th January for you all to check in if you needed, I thought I had created this thread but it appears not to be so. Hope your all doing well? Its Friday 13th!! I hope your day is full of positive things and that none of you have any bad luck come knocking on your door today :)
This daily check in is for you to share whats happening for you, how your week has been, good and bad and inbetween and my hope is that between you, you will find support from one another. Coping with trauma at the time its happening can often cause people to feel very alone and isolated. this forum thread is a way to try and reduce the isolation you may still feel and to let you know you matter and are cared about. This is a safe space for you to be just you without judgement.

High five back! I hope today has been a good day for you.
Things have calmed down a bit for me,I'm sleeping again and I haven't drank in 2 days. The nightmares are pretty shit though and everything hurts. I think it's a mixture of having a flu,coming of the drink and general ptsd.
But I'm calmer and I'm able to sit with it. My mind feels a little bit more clearer and I was able to help my friend through a tough time so I'm glad I was able to do that.
Happy Friday the 13th :)
@fearlessShade1051 Oh it was nice to read your post Fearless and to know that despite some difficulties you are managing to find a calmer place for yourself and good on you with not drinking for a couple days. how do you feel about this? Are you proud of yourself for having done this, because you should be!? :) It sounds like you have been a really good friend helping someone you care about and sometimes helping others can actually help us to feel a little better about ourselves. What do you feel has enabled you to get a sense of calm for yourself? Whats made the difference?
