Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Saturday 2nd of March, 2019
Happy Saturday to every-amazing-one! I have really missed you all. 
How are you feeling? :)
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything on your mind you would like to share about it? :)
I cannot believe that February is already over but, more importantly, that it is spring already! - well, at least according to the calendar anyways :P
I mean, generally I do not mind winter that much either but it can get really long and I do really love to just go outside every once in a while and just be outside, on the fresh air and it can be hard on winters.
I also just love to see the nature get wake up from it's sleep and everything just coming back to life. It is also a good reminder for me that darkness, cold and just general grayness of winter there is something really beautiful waiting if I just get through it. Literally but figuratively as well! ^-^
...and yes, I know, for some of you it is actually the end of summer right now. Still, what I wrote stands as well, at least in the figurative sense for you :)
Either way, I was rambling enough there.
Are you looking forward to spring? Do you have any outside activities you would like to get back to once the weather gets better or maybe anything you would like to try out? :)
Even just going for a walk every once in a while counts ^-^
Of course, as always, all of the above questions are optional and there is absolutely no pressure on you to answer any of them. If you would just like to say hi or sit with us for some time you are always welcome as well, it is just nice to have you here with us either way.

@redmark just going to hide in the corner for a while. In a pretty dark place right now
Hey there @crimsonLime6525 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling like that tho. Would you mind me joining in that corner? :)
I mean, whatever you may be dealing with, you are not alone with it here ^-^
Stay strong and awesome!
@redmark I would like some comps and not feeling very strong
@crimsonLime6525 Well, I would be glad to hide with you in your corner. :)
Alternatively, we can build a safe and comfy pillow fort as well for you to hide in there
@redmark I don
@crimsonLime6525 I am sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. Is there something that we may be able to help you with?

Hello, I don't really know what to say since this is my first post here? I'm doing alright, I guess. This week has been pretty rough due to insomnia and long work hours, but not too bad other than that. I've managed to keeo my emotions in check at work this week and didn't cry about something inconsequential or "overreact" to anything. I hope to get to know you guys better, thanks for making this thread!
Hey there @limegreenTown8201 *offering safe hugs*
Welcome here! We are really glad to have you here with us.
Do not worry about anything, this place is just to share how you are feeling but I am glad to hear that you are feeling alright :)
I am sorry to hear that you have not been able to get enough sleep throughout this week as I know that it can really just make everything so much harder. I am really proud of you for still keeping your emotions in check like that and doing such an amazing job at work. I do hope you will be able to catch up with some sleep as well :)
I look forward to getting to know you as well and I hope to hear from you in the future later on. :)
Stay awesome!
@limegreenTown8201
Welcome!

Are you looking forward to spring? Do you have any outside activities you would like to get back to once the weather gets better or maybe anything you would like to try out?
@FaithfulPrune9638
Okay, so I messed that up. I'll try again.
Are you looking forward to spring? Yes, the pretty part of spring before it gets hot.
Do you have any outside activities you would like to get back to once the weather gets better or maybe anything you would like to try out?
Well, the girls will be able to go outside and play more so that will be a sit-on-the-porch moment for me.
Hey there @FaithfulPrune9638 *offering safe hugs*
It is really nice to hear from you aroun here!
Hey, don't worry, you have not messed anything up. It was probably just one miss-click and it can happen, do not be too harsh on yourself. :)
Oh, yep,definitely, m favourite part of the year is that warm but not too hot part as well in the spring and autumns. :)
In the summer I just tend to hide from the sun inside. :P
Aww, those sit-on-the-porch moments are really awesome and it sounds really sweet that you will be able to just watch your girls enjoying the good weather and playing outside. ^-^
Stay awesome!
Hello. I really like your penguin hug GIF.
Im not feeling so great right at the moment. Lots of anxiety. About something up coming as well as things from the past. Sometimes when things from present trigger past, its hard to tell the difference between now and then, at least in terms of feeling threatened unsafe scared etc.
Bits and pieces of memories of the bad stuff that happened when I was little. I dont really know what happens, Im just getting glimpses here in there but I guess it was probably pretty intense because the anxiety level Im experiencing right now is rather high.
Also makes me not feel so great about myself. I start feeling like I deserve pain or to be disciplined whatever. Thats with the person called it when they hurt me. Punishing me because I was so bad. It was a really bad situation sometimes. I think actually that other person was bad because they were hurting me and telling me lies. Scary, scary lies that I was too young to know any better than. Its hard to keep straight because my mind is in a bit of a jumble right now. I feel sad and scared. And it hurts a bit too. Any help/support would be appreciated.
@pioneeringBanana1598 Hi banana, I'm sorry you're having a bad day and offering my support. it seems you've been making progress recently so it's ok to have a bad day now and then. it will get better.
Hey there @pioneeringBanana1598 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am really glad to hear that you have liked that penguin gif ^-^
I am sorry to hear that you are anxious like that. I can imagine that it had to be really hard at times with flashbacks and feelings and thoughts coming back but it is okay, you are here now, with us, in the Trauma Community and you are safe here! :)
It can be also useful to just have a friend who you can reach out to who can really just remind you that it is okay, you are safe and you are in the present - if you have anyone who could help you like that :)
It would be also probably helpful to share about these flashbacks with your therapist if you get the opportunity as it can help a lot as well to actually face these things in a safe and professional environment like this with the help of a professional to help you work through all those intense feelings. :)
It can be really hard of course to "re-wire" your brain, especially if all those lies and the traumas has happened at such an early age but you are right, it was them who were the bad person and not you. You have not deserved and still not deserve punishment and you are not a bad person. You are an amazing, strong, brave, and caring person and you definitely deserve all the love, care, and support you can get.
Of course I know that it is hard to overwrite all those thought patterns but I do believe that it is possible even if it an take a long time and you are not alone in this and together we can definitely do this. I do believe in it and I do believe in you anyways. :)
Stay strong and awesome!
@redmark
I like the penguin. I'm having a rough day. I would like to build a fort to hide in and maybe play some music to get lost in. Thanks for listening.
@RedHawk6547 I don
Hey there @RedHawk6547 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to have you here with us!
I am sorry to hear that you are having such a rough day. Hiding in a pillow fort with some music does definitely sound like a good idea and also we are all here for you if there is anything we may be able to help with, you are not alone in this :)
Stay strong and awesome!
