Trauma Community forums Daily check-in Thread - Sunday 1st January 2017
Wow, Xmas 2016 has come and gone and we are now day One of the New year - 2017...It may take a year for me to remember to put 2017 instead of 2016!!!
Its New Years Day. Perhaps for some of you, you may have decided to give your healing and recovery an extra boost now we are entering a new period of time...for others of you, you may decide to keep striving for what you have been working so hard for, your emotional health and wellbeing, your happiness, security, a sense of purpose, safety, commitment to overcome the effects of your Traumatic Experiences.....I wonder how many of you may be feeling? I am wondering if any of you have made any resolutions with regards your own healing and recovery journey? Hope your all doing okay out there. Please use this space to share whats happening for you, good, bad, inbetween......How has the past few days been for you? Living with the effects of trauma is never easy, so let's lessen each others' burdens as best we can.

It has not been a joyess time for me, and probably a lot of other people to. But i woke up today feeling a bit better that I survived, against the odds, so I am feeling positive ight now that i can try to deal with the things happened and stop living in the past I need lots of help to do this i think, but it think I know my starting point, I just need to do that bit first, I'm nervous about that.
@Huggingarms You did survive the odds and I am glad you did. Its good to hear you have a focus point and you woke up with your goals in mind. You can get there. It takes time, patience and is not something that can be done overnight. You carry so much for so long so give yourself time and be kind to yourself. Thank you for reaching out to others :) Abuse is never the fault of those who have been subjected to horrors at the hands of somebody else :)
Thank you, I wish I knew what to say to people like you do. I am learning a lot from the forums @dancingRainbow45
