Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Saturday, 31st of August, 2019
Happy Saturday! I am so happy to from all of you amazing people. 
How are you feeling today? :)
How has this week been for you? :)
I have just realized like an hour ago that today is actually the last day of summer. Not that it really means that much to me since I am not in school but, still....it has kind of surprised me how fast time can pass but it also had me just thinking a little bit about this last three months and just look a little bit ahead of me. :)
Generally I like to just stay in the present but times like this I just try to get myself to just think about all the nice memories I have had this summer.
Not that my memories are usually that exciting, but I have had quite some, and I am really curious about you...
How was this summer for you? What is your favourite memory of it? :)
Also, just looking ahead a little bit sometimes helps me to just decide on what I want to focus on, which can be useful because I can really get lost in just trying to do so many things at once.
Do you have any plans for this fall? What is your favourite thing about fall? :)
Of course, there is no pressure on you to answer any of the above questions. If you would just like to say hi or sit around with us for a while we are always happy to have you here :)
Also, we have a whole lot of materials around for pillow forts and a steady supply of safe hugs if you would ever need one :)

Hi, haven't posted in a while. Currently, I'm struggling with keeping a regular sleep schedule and my back has been stiff and sore for over a week now. I hope both will go back to normal soon.
Hey there @Zeraphim *offering safe hugs*
It is really nice to hear from you again around here!
I am sorry to hear that your back is giving you such a hard time and I can imagine that not getting regular sleep has to be really tough as well but I do hope that you will be able to get your sleep schedule figured out soon and that your back will get better as well :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark Thank you, your message made me smile. *embraces the safe hugs*

How I'm feeling today - Tired. But it's the AM for me so that's expected since I still have my usual usual relationship with sleep. It doesn't bother so much though now that the crippling depression has (for now) passed. (:
How was my week - I guess despite many annoyances and dumb things that happened workwise, my week was okay. Nothing I can't really handle happened and I'm in good health and I'm saving money and I have transportation and a job and a couple friends, so I am pretty grateful.
Plans for fall? Fall is my favorite season. I love watching leaves change. I love painting and/or carving pumpkins and roasting pumpkin seeds. I love pumpkin pie. I love hearing the leaves crunch as I walk. I do want to do a pumpkin this year. My friend and I are trying to go to the Zoo in October too. That'll be fun.
How are you? I loved your things to do gif.
Hey there @wontwakewontsleep *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to have you here with us!
Oww, yep, having a lack of sleep can really make things just that much harder. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better and that your depression has passed for the time being. I do hope that you will be able to catch up with some sleep soon as well :)
I am really glad to hear that you have got all those things going on for yourself and also some friends to share it with. I mean, I do know that all jobs come with their own little annoyances from time to time but I am glad to hear that you have still had a good week overall :)
You know, pumpkins are just somehow not that big of a seasonal thing here in Hungary but it sure looks awesome, those jack-o-lanterns and I think it sounds like a really exciting plan to make one as well as pumpkin pie, I mean, I have got ttry that once and I can understand why do you love it, it is just awesome ^-^
Also, going to the zoo does sound really nice as well. I mean, I do hope that you will have a really amazing fall ahead of you and you will get to enjoy all that and even more throughout it :)
I am doing okay-ish, thank you for asking, I am finally going out of this cold I have been dealing with this week, so that is definitely nice. :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark - thank you for your lovely reply 💜 I hope you are feeling better and better! You're wonderful.
@redmark
today was not really a good day and not really a good week. my sister SLAMMED THE CAR DOOR on my hand and now i have a broken finger. other than that i had a panic attack last night and that was not fun at all. i dont really have much memories of this summer other than going to a waterpark which was kind of fun. also school starts tuesday which means i have a ton of stress and im going to get bullied a lot so yay!!! so yeah not so good
Hey there @dvf *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
Oww, I am sorry to hear that you have had such a hard week. Getting your finger broken is pretty tough. At least I remember I have had to wear a really big cast - well, relatively, just for one finger - but I do remember that it had healed quickly, so I hope that yours will heal quick as well :)
Also, panic attacks are not fun. I can imagine that going back to school can be really, really stressful, especially if it is such a toxic environment. I do want you to know that no matter what we are all here for you and you are not alone in this and never forget that you are an amazing person :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark
Szia Redmark :) Hogy vagy?
Today has been a weird day. I felt very sad this morning, things got better in the afternoon and now... I am not sure. I am feeling quite numb, but the wrong numbness. Difficult to explain. And I am nervous and restless too.
This week was tough. I had the worst days of the whole summer. I wasn't sure I could keep myself safe.
I like autumn, especially because of its colours. But I am going to miss summer and the nice weather. The best memory I have of this summer is the week I spent in Italy, hiking nearly every day and seeing so much beauty.
Szia @admaiorasemper *offering safe hugs*
It is always really awesome to have you here with us!
I am doing okay, thank you for asking. It seems like I will finally be able to get out of this cold I have been dealing with this whole week, so that is nice :)
Feelings and emotions can be really weird, I am not the best at vocalising them either. I am glad to hear that things have got a bit better tho and I just want you to know if there is anything we may be able to help you with we are always here for you, you are not alone in this!
Oww, I am sorry to hear about your week - I do hope that you will be able to just get some rest and recharge a bit through this weekend. :)
I have never actually been in Italy yet which, considering that it is relatively close to Hungary as well as just my love to pizza is interesting. I mean, either way tho, I am just glad that you have had such a nice time there :)
Also, all those colors of autumn sure are really pretty. Also, I guess I will miss the nice summer weather as well but I am kind of looking forward the colder weather just so I will be able to wear my soft and fluffy sweaters :)
Stay strong and awesome!
I havent checked in a while iam feeling tired but through alot of healing and recovery my traumas have a lot less power on me than they used too
Hey there @philosophicalShip9444 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am really glad to hear that recovery is going well for you and that you are much more in control now. Of course I can imagine, all that work has to be really draining so I hope that you will have some time to just relax and recharge soon :)
Stay awesome!
How are you feeling today? :) I'm very depressed. I need a distraction. I think I'm losing a friend to drama.
How has this week been for you? It was great until last night and some drama fell down and now I'm regretting things that I have said.
Hey there @Rebekahwriter13 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to have you here with us!
I am sorry to hear that your week has taken a turn like that tho. I know that drama can be really tough to handle and you can say things you do not really even mean.
I am wondering, is it maybe possible to just have thigs calm down a little bit and talk with that friend of yours and just, you know, talk through this, explaint that things you might have said was not meant like that and so on. I mean, it does really happen that we say things we do not even mean and probably they would understand it as well :)
Stay strong and awesome!
@redmark thank you. I have to learn patience. Waiting is hard, sigh. *hugs*
Hi folks, Just checking in. It's been a rough day, a rough week, a rough month really. As I work through my therapy it seems I get better for a while and stuff just keeps coming back. I know that's normal but it gets hard and depressing sometimes. I feel like I'm getting better but then i get waves of sadness and anxiety sometimes even stronger than before, Makes me wonder if I'm really getting better or just running in circles. I feel sad and scared today and am really judging myself harshly. Hard to feel good about myself at all. Hopefully someone can relate. I just need to vent. Thank you
Hey there @crimsonSpruce612 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am sorry to hear that you have been through such rough times. Sadly, usually, recovery is not easy. Especially with things you might have been through, we tend to bottle up a lot of emotions and just seal away so many thoughts and part of the recovery process is to face those feelings and thoughts which is always tough and can be even overwhelming. I know that it can be disheartening but I think it is important that you do allow yourself to feel all those feelings and you are working through all those thoughts now with the help of theraphy. I mean, I believe in you, I believe that you can get better and I believe that you are in the right path and I am very proud of you for all the hard work you do :)
Of course, you are not alone in this, if there is anything we may be able to help you with we are always here for you to just listen or help as best as we can. We can get through this together :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark Thanks so much redmark for your kind words. It is hard to face and feel all the feelings but i know it's worth it. I'm feeling better in the days since this post so thank you :)
