Trauma Support Community Check-in: Saturday 05 December
Hello everyone!
How are you today? I truly hope you are doing great! Since the last check-in, I feel much more positive.
First, is: How are you? (whether that is like today, the last couple of weeks...)
Second: Are you readyyyy for Christmas and New Year?
Third: What are some great things about December and winter? (give us at least 3)
That will be it for today. I don't want to give you some heavy questions! Relax, have some tea, and enjoy this day!

First, is: How are you?
I'm doing pretty well actually. This week has been better.
Second: Are you readyyyy for Christmas and New Year?
Yes, a million times yes. Those are my favourite times of the year. All the rest and fun and singing and eating.
Third: What are some great things about December and winter? (give us at least 3)
December is the month where I get to rest and recharge, I get to sleep in, and go somewhere fun with my friends
@elizabethunter, hello there!
First, is: How are you? (whether that is like today, the last couple of weeks...)
It's good. I love the weekends.
Second: Are you readyyyy for Christmas and New Year?
I'm ready for Christmas, but not New year. I'm nervous with the upcoming school works I have to face.
Third: What are some great things about December and winter? (give us at least 3)
The weather is windy, the final season of an anime series I have been waiting is going to be aired this month, and there are plenty of delicious food this December.

Haven't participated in this for a while, but I suppose doing so might feel good.
1. I'm doing pretty good except being exhausted all the time due to physical and mental illnesses. I got a lot done this morning and made some real progress on choosing a career path, so I feel really accomplished. I still have more to get done today though with what energy I can find :00
2. We have presents for our closest friends, but we still need to find some for parents. They never appreciate the gifts though. At this point, it's just a courtesy for receiving money and gifts. Also wrapping and mailing is still on the to do list.
3. A lot of alters love buying presents for friends, so Christmas is always an exciting time to show our love!! <3
Hot chocolate, blankets, and movies! There's something especially magical about sitting in a coffee shop drawing or writing while watching the snow fall.
The magical feeling of Christmas day. There's something wondrous about opening presents and then immediately enjoying them. Whether that's wearing new clothes, appreciating new merch, or playing video games with our brother/friends.
@ElizabethHunter Here's how the past week went. Monday my caretaker decided to come back to work for me, which is going to be a huge stress reduction as long as things don't change.
Thursday I had a therapy appointment but we talked about my girlfriend, which didn't really help with my trauma. I'm taking the homeopathic remedy but it takes a very long time to have an effect. For this upcoming week, I have another therapy appointment on Monday. I'm watching psychology videos on the internet every day, and it's good information, but I don't know if it is actually helping me get cured. I have a psychiatrict appointment for December 18th. The road to recovery is long and difficult. I'm not responsible for my abuser's behavior but I have to pay the price in expending the effort to get cured.
1. Pretty drab cuz there's finals going on. Tomorrow is D-Day. Wish me luck!
2. Christmas perhaps, especially there's this activity in my community to exchange gifts, I wonder what gift I can give someone...
3. There's this friend of mine in Russia, he told me the most beautiful scenery you can get in the winter is diamond snow ❄️, that's the coolest! Hopefully can experience that someday 🙂😜
