Traumatic Experiences Community Check In - Tuesday 28th February 2017
Hope your all doing good out there!!! What's going on for you, hows life treating you? Healing from traumatic experiences is hard going, its hard work and it can be very much a rollercoaster of a journey. Sometimes you may even question why you are bothering, is it worth it. YES, it is! Because your worth it. Its important to always look after yourself and your needs and to take time out for you and practise some self care when needed. How have you been managing to show a little TLC to yourselves recently? This space is yours, to share whats happening in your world, to say Hi, to let us know if you need some extra support, to share the good days, bad days and inbetween days. This is a safe and supportive daily checkin space for our members.

I have this blockade in my head lately. I know it's there and I know that there is pain under it. That dark place. I'm too fragile and too scared to look.
I feel crap. Like i want to hurt myself or just stop fighting all together.. ive called for help.. and waiting for someone to call me back
Im terrified!
@helpfulWatermelon5615 Hey watermelon, whats going on for you? Have you any idea what is causing you to feel as you do and have you managed to speak to someone today? I can appreciate that hurting yourself may serve a purpose in the short term, perhaps this enables you to cope, but I hope over time you are able to find other ways of coping that no longer hurt you. We are here for you, even if just in the forum, we care and you matter. Are there any coping strategies you have found that work for you? What do you feel you need right now to get you through this difficult patch?
