Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Saturday, 2nd of November, 2019
Happy Saturday to every-amazing-one! I am really looking forward to hear from you again. 
How are you feeling today? :)
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)
The weather is really starting to get colder around here. I mean, I generally do not mind the cold weather since I love to wear soft and fluffy jumpers and it is the perfect excuse to just stay inside with some good tea and a book or some series and just wrap yourself in a banket :)
Of course, the downside is that when I have to go outside it is still cold. I do not know about you but I have to put a conscious effort into making sure that I am wearing warm enough clothes and that I actually not just pick up a cold - or worse - in the cold.
I mean, I suppose this is sort of a PSA, if you are like me, please make sure to just put some extra effort into it and make sure to take care of yourself in this colder weather coming up around this time of the year. :)
Also, I am curious, what are some things that help you deal better with the cold weather? - for me it is definitely tea a whole lot of tea, with some honey, of course :)
Of course, as always, all of the above questions are optional. If you would just like to say hi or just sit around with us for a while we are always glad to have you here with us no matter what. :)
Also, I have heard that hugs can help with the cold weather as well, so feel free to grab on for yourself here if you would ever need it :)

@redmark Hey Red - How are you? How are things going with the dentist? Sorry for being nosy.
This week - well - this has been a sort of rough week. I've been fighting the urge to withdraw and isolate. Having some serious - what I call pita moments. I just get so sick of myself - I figure everyone else has to be too. Been dealing with some major headaches and a few other things.
It's getting cold here too. The leaves are falling like crazy and some of the trees are bare allready. I'm really not looking forward to winter. Seems like summer passed so quickly.
We do a mixed drink here of mint coco and coffee. Idk - I'm not sure what you'd call it. Or sometimes hot cider. Thick cloths - long johns - hats and gloves. And of course winter grade coveralls.
I hope you have a good weekend and a good week. Take care
Hey there @mytwistedsoul *offering safe hugs*
It is really nice to have you here with us!
Sorry for my late reply. To answer your question I have went to the dentist to finish two teeth but my gums had got inflamed so they were not able to get it done so instead I have got one teeth removed that could not be saved. It took more to recover from that than expected so - once again - sorry for my late reply here.
I am actually glad to have you here with us. I mean, I know that feeling when you feel like you do not want to burden anyone and just pull them down but you are not, you are not burdening anyone here and not pulling anyone down here. Of course, I can understand that it is hard to stay social after such a tough week but I am really proud of you for reaching out to us here now in spite of that :)
Also, I hope that your headahce will get better soon!
It sure can feel like summer has just flown away isn't it? I do hope that you will have a not-too-harsh winter around there as I remember you mentioning that it can be tough at winter around there sometimes.
Oh..that drink sounds really interesting. I do like to mix mint with a bunch of my drinks as well and I know that mint chocolate can be really nice so I am curious now of mint coco. Also, hot cider sounds nice as well and I just low winter clothes, because my warm clother are mostly these really soft and fluffy ones and...I don't know, it just feels nice wearing them :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark just going to sit for a little while. Just arrived at my new work location. Have boxes everywhere but just don't have the energy or the inclination to unpack. Too much going on so just having a few moments and a good cry 😢
@crimsonLime6525 Hey Lime - sounds pretty overwhelming. Mind if I sit with you for awhile?
@mytwistedsoul thank you
@crimsonLime6525 You're welcome - anytime
Hey there @crimsonLime6525 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to have you here with us!
Sorry for my late reply, I have had some complications with a dentist appointment >.<
I am really sorry to hear that you are going through such though times, it sure sounds scary to just move to a new place and start working there but I just want you to know that you are not alone in this here :)
Stay strong and awesome!
@redmark
hi
Hey there @sensitiveShade5337 *offering safe hugs*
It is really nice to have you here with us!
I hope that you are having a good weekend so far! :)
Stay awesome!
Question does anyone else depersonalize after a memory or a panic attack or depression. Or just in general. Is this to personal a question? I dont want to trigger anyone but Im kinda at a loss for how to talk to people about experiences and getting over them when theres not really a forum for ptsd and being blunt. Lol just let me know if Im crossing a line. Because as awesome as a daily check in is. There are some days where I cant talk about how Im feeling because Im not feeling.
Hey there @RheaBum *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I think it is a way of your brain trying to protect you from all those strong feelings. I mean, depersonalization is tough, and I am sorry to hear that you have to deal with such tough emotions. I cannot tell you how common it is and I have not experienced such a thing but I have heard and actually read about it multiple times so you are definitely not alone and, as I have said, it can be some sort of self-defense mechanism of your brain. It is probably something that it would be worth to share with your therapist, if you have one.
Of course, no pressure about that, I know it is hard to open up in therapy and seek professional help. We are here for you no matter what if there is anything we may be able to help you with or you would just like to vent. :)
Also, if you feel like something might be triggering just put a **Trigger warning** in front of your post but otherwise feel free to share about that as well anytime you feel comfortable doing so :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark thanks. It is essentially a really annoying coping mechanism. But its not the worst thing just not exactly helpful. Luckily my job right now can be really well done regardless if Im in my head or not.
