Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Saturday 27th of October, 2018
We have made it through one more week. You have made it through an other week! I mean, how amazing is that? You are doing such an amazing job and I am really proud of you for it! 
How are you feeling today? :)
How was this week for you? Do you have anything we would like to share with us here? :)
Lately I have been actually delving more into philosphical topics and the hows and whys of feelings, not my feelings, but just in general and as much as it is an interesting topic it can be a really hard one. On this journy of mine one fo the thing that helped me a lot was the Dictionary of Obscure sorrows, which, I have had mentioned earlier as well.
There is one definition that really stood out for me of many other great words and definitions there lately and I keep revisiting and I thought I would share it with you today. This word and definition is "Socha". >Click here to watch the video about it<, if you want it is really well produced. :)
I have many insecurities and they can really cause me a hard time and I think it part of human nature that we do compare ourselves to others and it can often make me feel even less of a "great" person. This, however, is really eye opening to me. I mean, this just resonates within me and makes me feel that I am not alone being insecure, having hard times and just a lot of doubts even if people around me seem to have that perfect life.
I know many of you have similar doubts as well and, if nothing else, I want you to know that you are not alone. We may have been through different things, you and me, and I know I may seem like this always happy and caring person but there are many, countless insecurities and doubt behind it and you are not any less of a person then I am or the next person. It is just part of being human, there is nothing wrong with you because of it!
What do you think about "Socha"? Have you experienced it earlier?
Do not ever forget how strong and just amazing you are! I believe in you and you are doing an amazing job!
Of course all of the questions are just optional as well as the hug above, if you want to just sit here with us you are welcome as well! :)

@redmark This truly made me smile and feel supported-- THANK you!
Hi. Um, I normally don't post anything, but this past week has been pretty rough. I had a traumatic experience when I was younger and the chats aren't really always a safe area so I just thought I would talk here and I guess just see if anyone will read my words. Its been difficult lately and no one can relate to having a traumatic experience so I'm feeling pretty alone. And yeah, I guess that's it. I'll probably just delete this soon after but whatever.
Hey there @LilTiger *offering safe hugs*
We are so glad to have you here with us!
I can imagine it had to be really hard to come here and open up like this here but I am really proud of you for being so strong and doing so! :)
I can imagine that living with a trauma like that can be really hard and I want you to know that if you would ever like to talk about it or just come here and sit around with us for the time being you are always welcome to do so, we are all here for you and together we can get through this!
Also, we have pillow forts as an option as well if you ever feel like just hiding from the world! ^-^
Stay strong and awesome!

How was this week for you? Do you have anything we would like to share with us here? :)
to be honest I'm feeling very bummed out about a recent break up. It's making me question myself and my sanity
Hey there @incompl *offering safe hugs*
I am really sorry for my late answer here, I have had some random and busy days with work lately but I am really happy to see you around here and hear from you!
I know that break-ups can be really hard and honestly....I am really bad with them as well but...it gets better...or it did for me anyways with some time and until then we are here for you if there is anything we may be able to help you with or you would just like to went. I mean, you are not alone in this and together we can get through this - or I believe in it anyways and I do believe in you as well! :)
Stay strong and awesome!
