Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check In - Sunday, November 5th 2017

Hello Lovely Ones,
My wish for you today/tonight is that you will experience the support of others, whether offline or online. In my life, there are times when it was so hard to ask for help, yet without it I wouldn't be where I am today.
What can you see today that you able to do with support of someone else that you weren't able to do in the past by yourself?
Is there anything you'd like to accomplish today that's been on your mind that we can encourage you with?
How are you this day/night?
You are not alone and I'm so thankful for each one of you!

Ive never posted to this before. Im still pretty new to this app and its mostly a band aid for now because my therapist is out of town for 3 weeks so my usual support is gone. I am getting my masters in counseling psychology to become a therapist and its my first year in the program. We just started talking about suicide and what to do when your client is suicidal and its become super triggering to me. I attempted suicide a year ago and was involuntarily hospitalized. The whole experience was traumatizing for so many reasons. I completely lost my autonomy and was treated like a delinquent. Anyway. I guess Im struggling with how to deal with this. I just want to break down and cry every time its mentioned.

I'm so sorry that this topic is being rough for you :( I understand how tough it must be to be reminded of the pain you went through. On the bright side, congrats on your work! You're going to do amazing things and help people get through tough things and we need you
It may be really tough which is completely understandable and valid but in the end you may save someone's life who is struggling :)
Keep your chin high! You're doing an amazing job and you're doing your best which is what matters. If you have any comfort items or coping strategies, do use them! Best of luck to you.
