Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Thursday 11th January 2018
Good morning all!
Thinking... what will we focus on today.. was planning to continue with resilience...reflecting on what has come out of today... and in knowing that some in our trauma family have been triggered ,have been hurt, and are distressed... thought, at times like this we encircle them and listen, and comfort them. So borrowing the words from @Tenacity in her thread, the topic is "little animals" ( the icons that have appeared)
So in turning to my favouirte bear Wiinie the Pooh, here are a few words from Eeyore : "A little thought, a little consideration, makes all the difference."
That's all from me.Leaving it up to you....
How is your day going? Have you something to share on this tiopic? Or a respone to those who are affected. Pop in to say hi! This is your space and a safe place. Love to you all. x
I was doing better 2 days ago but i keep having nightmares and reliving the traumatic experience. I would often feel anxious when waking up, feeling nervous and disoriented. It has just been a bad week for me altogether.

Doing okay today. Still feel a bit overly anxious. Blasting some tunes right now before I get ready for my trek to therapy in a few minutes. Managed to eat a healthy-esqe lunch, but I allowed myself a soda. Working to a point where I don't have to have a soda. Need the caffeine pretty bad, but I really don't like the extra calories and jitteriness of the caffeine. Blah, and the crash. Anyway...
Little animals! Meow. My cats are napping right now. I don't know what else to say...
Gonna get some stuff off my chest at therapy about flying monkeys and this odd game of chess I've been dragged into.
I'd better go get ready!
Life is tough. My anxiety has been really really bad lately, and I don't want to do much of anything except watch Netflix and sleep.
Holding up well anyways, I didn't get much sleep last night and today has been a series of triggers. It's a bit hard to describe but it's like a bit rock inside your brain weighing you down with every once of criticism that was once there and anytime you escape they tell you as they once did: "Stop hiding in the past! It's not all sunshine and rainbows anymore!" when all I was doing was wishing things would get better and trying to remember how it feels to feel positive again. I've been doing a lot better in recent times. that I'm proud of though, I really hope someday I won't ever have to think of this ever again.
I hate these stupid animals and Laura
