Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check in: Monday November 12th
Hiding from Monday Mood.
How has your Monday gone so far? We had a few Discussions in the Trauma Support Room today that I think went really well.
-In our PTSD & Coping session we spoke about positive affirmations. Do you use positive affirmations to help yourself when you're feeling down? If you're comfortable, share one of your favorites with us or share what you wish you could say to a friend who is struggling right now.
- In Trauma Open chat we talk about grounding and techniques to de-stress. I mentioned to some of you that I use Thinking Putty to stay calm and have something to do with my hands.
- Share a positive affirmation. Either for yourself or someone else.
- Share a stress relief technique
- Say hi or ask for a hug if you need one

@Kate
I'm not good at positive affirmation, so I'll skip that one.
For stress relief I have found my exercise ball helpful. I don't use it for exercise though. I either sit on it or lay over it and roll back and forth between my hands and my feet. It takes concentration to not fall and that sometimes helps me.
A hug would be nice today.
@practicalIdeal2007
Sending a safe hug your way now.
@kate
Did you pick a name for him yet? I still like Lincoln, link. Hes so cute.
Im tired today. Every day. I feel alone, and like everything is kind of crumbling.
I tell myself that im okay, that im safe. If that counts. Music is my stress relief. Playing or listening to it. Although the past few days i havent really let myself play. Im not sure why. But oh well. Hope you and doggy are good
@Npepsicola His name is Weezy! He says hello and sends you a hug if you want one.
@Kate
Aww i love puppy hugs. Much better than people hugs.
