Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check In - Sunday September 24th 2017
Hi Everyone! I'm a bit late, but just checking in. How are you all doing today?
Sometimes I find myself withdrawing into myself, which then leaves me without the support I need. I think sometimes we have to actively remember to seek out that support, because healing is a long process, and it's hard to do it alone. Are you finding ways to access that support in your life? If you need extra support, remember we here for you! <3

@roseMelody95 Hey Rose no worries, today were easy like a Sunday morning. :)
I too can isolate a bit but my man won't let me get away with it and is always here for me. Totally blessed in that way. :)
I hope everyone is well today. I am here for the support meeting and a few whiles after for support if anyone needs me.
@roseMelody95
I'm feeling so bad and so depressed..
Hi Shade sorry buddy had to edit to remove the swear words🙃 lol Kite
@sensitiveShade5337 I'm so sorry to hear that. I know some days are just a struggle to get through. *hugs* Is there anything you can think of doing that might help to improve your mood today, even a bit?
@roseMelody95
I will take a bath later and listen to some relaxing music
@roseMelody95 isolating is easy. Doing it alot now. Just easier not to hurt anyone else. Esp family. Staying away from them. Hubby being irritable which makes talking harder anyway. No strength today.
Hi all,
Sometimes I need a little break in order to quiet my mind and heal. Those times when I have isolated in an unhealthy way, I found myself consumed by feelings that I really could no longer define. Once I found support, things were so much better. Reaching out for help is always something I have struggled to do. I know it works and support makes life so much easier. It is something that I am actively working on. Thank you for being here and allowing me to practice in such a safe place. It is a gift to be able to show compassion and receive such kindness. Thinking of everyone as we continue to heal together.
@Compassionatelistener108 I will cosign to tbis as well.
(Can you tell my own voice feels especially small and burrowed deep within ATM? Lolsigh 🙃)

Hey, Rose and folks.
Sometimes it's hard to reach out for support. As if one is not worthy or as if one is imposing, well...there could be a host of reasons, really! Those're my two reasons why I don't reach out. Yesterday, I reached out to this community when I felt I was just kinda bein' whiny or something and I was surprised how much support I got back. I didn't doubt that there would be support, but I'm always a little taken aback when I experience kindness and simply decent people anymore! Jostles me awake from my social phobia and anxiety so to speak.
As far as today goes, I'm taking the time to get back in the saddle again and get things done since I got off track from things lately. Burnt out and then dealing with that toxic incident yesterday. It's somethin' I can't really confide in my college advisor about. "Oh yeah, well... y'know had an episode with my PTSD BS and someone with the emotional capacity of a slightly developed fetus." It's good practice I guess for dealing with people on a professional level. They don't need to know everything, they simply expect results and don't need to know your life. Which can be a good thing sometimes. Though where I live people will tell you blatantly about their problems in TMI detail. XD Kinda leaves me astounded. Boundaries? WHERE? *points*

Yeah this mirrors my struggle at times still. I'm learning, slowly (and healing). Some days are easier than others (the last few days have been difficult, period).
Sometimes it can be super hard with limited support. What was would you advise getting support from. I'm trying to spread out who I rely on. My boyfriend can't do it all. :)
Wow, today was a busy day. I am feeling much better. I am grateful for the support from so many caring people.
I have been thinking a great deal about the people in this community. I never would have experienced today with a positive perspective without you. Thank you for being there for me and please allow me to be there for you. There are always ups and downs. I know my journey is ongoing, too. My heart is with those who recently experienced loss or are going through the a particularly tough time during the process of healing. Nobody should have to go through this alone.
Until tomorrow, as we can only take a step at a time. 💛⛺️
