Traumatic Experiences Community Check In - Wednesday 8th March 2017
Hello, all you lovely people. :) Hows today going for you? How's your week been? Good, bad, inbetween? 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. Remember to be kind to yourselves, and take some time out for you if needed.
@dancingRainbow45 Haha you posted the check-in while I was making mine and I posted mine too xD And then I see we have 2 check-ins for the day lol :P Soo many people who love each other and want to do the check-ins :D I deleted mine though :P
@PuppyLove13 ah I didnt know if you had done it, took a look and thought nope not been done, so decided to do one :) Hey no worries, both helping each other out when one or other of us doesn't manage to get it done :)
Great post. New group member, here. I am slowly healing from traumatic events, and this week is going okay. I have spent some time with my Mother, and also engaged in some exercise. I am also trying to do activities which I enjoy.
@humorousThinker396 Hey welcome, and thanks :) Im glad you found us here and we hope to be able to offer you some support whilst you deal with the issues you are trying hard to work through. Its good to that you are able to do some enjoyable activities during this process. Its important to try and look after your needs and yourself during this process and having some fun, time out with family or friends can help enormously in restoring that inner strength :)
I had a very vivid flashback today which was upsetting at the time; but I was able to recover from it enough, to the point where overall I had a good day other than those few hours after it occured.
I am slightly anxious tonight; but that is because I have an apointment to tomorrow morning with a nurse for a cervical smear. I know it's important to look after my health, but I am not sure now if I feel up to going to it. I set my alarms to get up anyway, but I'm not certain if I'm going to be getting up to go to it, or to call them to cancel at the last minute.
