Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check In - Monday April 30th 2018
Sorry folks, I completely forgot about todays check in until now, so heres a somewhat belated hello to you all. Not to make excuses, but life is pretty full on at the moment. Which makes me wonder how everyone else balances all the demands of life.
How do you make time for yourself amongst all else that life throws at you?
And what does your ‘me time look like?
Or maybe you want to drop by and say hi, or maybe bye since its getting late in the day for many of you. Hows your day been?

@DeborahUK
hi 
@sensitiveShade5337
Ooh, sad face. Do you need a hug there Shade?
@DeborahUK
yeah 😣😭 I'm just sorry
@sensitiveShade5337
Hey, I don
@DeborahUK
i just wish...uh ... I won't say it. Then I guess I'm too useless and then Idk
too confused
see? I don't make f sense
@sensitiveShade5337
You know what Shade, its okay not to make sense all the time. Sometimes you just need those bllleeeuuurgghhhh moments! But dont use them as excuses to be hard on yourself. Use them as a chance to dust yourself down, reflect fairly on you and how youre doing, and maybe find something youre proud of about yourself. Now then, does that make any sense, or am I bleeeeeuuurrrgghhing?
@DeborahUK
you always make sense, I'm the one who doesn't
@DeborahUK not sure if this too triggering for here i dont know where else to say im scared of me. Trigerred beyond being able to stay at work. Was not the patients fault she went through similar to what i did and i was involved in her care before it went wrong. I started panicking remembering and had to leave for few minutes then left for day soon after. Didnt tell anyone i was that bad.
Had to tell husband and he got bit triggered by it too. Had therapy and was more honest than have been which was dumb as she now worried about me going in tomorrow for meeting in maternity block and a late shift when i will b on own with access to stuff . Honestly can't not go as will let them down more and then what worth am i. Do i deserve any better if i cant face it.
Im sorry it seems like a crisis and i dont mean it to be. I care alot about everyone on here and do think of u all often. Safe hugs.
@inventiveOrange1
Oh orange, Im sorry its been such a hard day for you, but Im glad youve been able to share with both your husband and your therapist. I hear you when you say you cant let people down tomorrow, and you say that no doubt because you feel their needs matter. But when will your needs matter more? How far down that slippery slope do you push yourself? What use are you to others if you dont take care of you first? Nobody elses needs are more important here than your safety and well-being. Please remember that, and take good care of you.
I don
@deborahUK
hi deb, things have been pretty intense for me lately, more intense emotions, more things happening to try and sort. My me-time is a long drive and a hike to try and ground and center myself. Hasn't worked of late but feeling a little more ready to face the next few battles in my life at this moment. oh and music, always listening to music so i think that is sort of me-time.... Still working despite battles and at this moment i'm a little proud of myself for still working even when things get intense! Hope all is well for you
