Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check In - Tuesday May 16th 2017
Phew! Just catching up with myself after a busy day. Apologies for the lateness of this post today. I know for some people in the Southern Hemisphere, Tuesday will have been and gone. Ah well, this is for all of us still making our way through it, or for those reflecting back on it, how's your Tuesday treating you? For that matter, how are you treating yourself? With kindness, love and respect I hope - we're here as a community to remind you that you deserve that, just in case you forget ❤️

Sometimes, right when you think your life is getting better, everything falls to pieces, and you end-up right back where you started. In those moments just remember, that right when your life has fallen apart, something unexpected will come along; a new person, friend, opportunity or discovery, that will help you put the pieces back together again. Don't hold together what must fall apart. The familiar life crumbles so the new life can begin. Things may be different, but you will love your life again in time.
Hold on, keep the faith and hope because you are ALL worth life struggles, ride your path at your own pace to reach your place of solace, concentrate on you, not your past, and remember, the past are lessons in life and not a life sentence.
Good luck and best wishes to you all xx
@navyTortoise5674. Great encouraging post! You are so right! Now I just need to keep that thought in my brain and not let all my other stuff in there crowd it out .
UGH 
@hereigoagain
Oh dear. Ugh never sounds good. I hope Wednesday's a little less ugh!
@DeborahUK nope, much worse
Hey everyone, sorry I have been MIA for awhile, but I am gonna go to try to at least be around a couple days a week, my life is in the chaotic state and I am soon going to be pretty much without a place to live, so I am stressed and trying to get myself to do all that is possible for that not to happen, by the end of summer, hoping to be more stable. So hugs for all my friends and listeners! <3 and keep swimming!
I started a AD medication on Friday. I was in crisis, it was necessary. It started working right away - I felt euphoric for a good two days. I now just feel weird. There are no highs and lows like before - the roller coaster of a ride that I was on that brought me to a breaking point - that's gone but now it's just -- nothing. I don't feel bad - but I just don't feel quite right, like it's fake. So bizzare.
I keep expecting to crash again, or something to set me off and feel terrible for a day - but nope. I now have all this clarity of mind and room to think about other things and I don't like that. I can see all the work that I have to do to find a place of healing - all the work that I couldn't do because my moods were all over the board. It kind of sucks and I don't know if it's better. I just don't like feeling so "off" and in my head and body so much of the time now. Ugh.
