Trauma Support Community Check-in: 20-21 April 2021
Hello everyone ❤️
How are you all? Today, I'd like to just sit quietly with everyone and rest. No matter what life has thrown at you lately, perhaps we can take a moment to just be still and breathe.
Question: How are you? ❤️
Thank you for joining us today ❤️ I am proud of you for how far you've come, and for taking this time for yourself. Take care ❤️

Got a peaceful vibe from your message. Thank you.
Thanks! I love the breathing one and use it.
I've been trying to stay calm and keep things in perspective.
Are there discussions still happening in this community?
I'm not very sure how to get around and navigate to find the info.

Hey there ❤️ The forum discussions are on hold at the moment, but you can participate in the ones that are already posted. Some of these are pinned at the top of each section, just click on the section to find them! The trauma support room support sessions are held a few times a week. We're working on providing a set schedule to post here, and we'll update everyone when that's done 😊

My dear friend. You're a ray of light through stormy clouds, did you know that?
It will be 21st tomorrow and I'm trying to ignore it. I'm with my best friend right now and she's keeping me smiling with her silliness.
I've been trying to keep myself busy with study and homeworks, but I feel tired.
I will always feel grateful and lucky to have you in my life. 💖
@Kimmkimm
I'm always here for you, Kimm ❤️ Stay strong, and take care. I'm super proud of you for doing your best - trust me when I saw that it is enough ❤️ I am always happy to see you around ❤️
I am doing well, thank you :D
Mood:😢😡🙁😒😞 To be honest, my moods have been all over the place for the past few weeks now and today I am feeling very much triggered unfortunately. I am usually Positive Polly but I guess I'm too exhausted out for that. I'll go back to normal but I'm just not feeling it today. Thank you for asking❤
Hey Daisy 😊 I'm sorry to hear that you are going through struggles these last few weeks. Take some time for yourself. Go for a walk and visit nature or whatever it is that gets you your energy back. All the best Daisy <3
Thank you for your kind words❤❤❤
@DaisyBeeBlooming
Hey Daisy ❤️
Ah, moods can be so overwhelming and unpredictable - and that's okay ❤️ Sometimes, we really do just need some time. You deserve to be able to rest and just let your emotions be ❤️ I hope you've been able to get some rest today. Take care ❤️
Thank you. I really needed this today
Thank you for the sense of community here. It's been so full of emotion the last couple of days, triggered by something shared during a work meeting, then having to get myself back under control quickly enough to get back in the meeting... Just honestly struggling with maintaining an outward picture of calm when I'm dying inside, feeling like the darkness I feel is consuming me from within, not able to function properly, disassociating regularly, finding myself doing things that I suddenly think why am I doing this... Weird... Eerie... And exhausting. So exhausting. Got no more than 8 hours sleep in 4 days now, and my brain's not coping. Sorry to be on a downer right now, but there I am. Grits.

It's not easy to face triggers, and I'm sorry to hear about what happened ❤️ I want you to know that this is a safe place to be honest about your struggles - just come as you are. Never apologise for your struggles ❤️ It takes so much courage to do what you do, and you're doing such a wonderful job of staying afloat. You deserve to give youreslf time and space to rest. Sending love ❤️
Im feeling really overwhelmed and the overwhelming feeling is causing me to dissociate a lot today. But your just breathe and memes has really helped me feel better and maybe a little more centered.
@Yandapanda1998
I'm awfully sorry to hear about your struggles, and so so proud of you for taking the time to breathe ❤️ It's okay to feel overwhelmed, and you deserve to allow yourself to rest when you need it. Sending you love today ❤️
My days go from great to awful- one day is perfect, the next is hell. I’m tired of trying to predict them. Thank you for this post.
Mine kind thing I let myself do today was read a fluffy story about disabled people banding together, getting support and getting better. The main character had PTSD. It was a lovely story <3
Hope you have a great day, and sorry for the late reply
@adequatelyInadequate
Sending you love ❤️ Good or bad, the days will come and go - the one who stays is you, and I'm proud of you for being kind to yourself and doing something that helped you feel better ❤️ You're doing so good, and you don't ever have to apologise for replying to a check-in. You're free to respond to what you want, when you want to ❤️ I hope you'll have a great day too
