Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in: Thursday, December 6th
Hello, Trauma Family! I hope today is good for you! Let us know how you are. I would like to try a new thing in our check in today, for those who struggle to share, maybe just pick a color from the chart below to let us know how you are overall.

As always you are always welcome to share more!
This sounds like a really good idea, maybe it could also be adapted for use at a school among friends? That would be helpful I think for situations when someone needs to leave or take a break. I'll try and bring it up. I'm yellow currently, just a lot of stressful things and intrusive thoughts.

I'm sorry to hear things are so rough today. Have you reached out to a listener to talk more through your feelings? Is there anyone in your offline life that you've reached out to? I hope today looks a little brighter for you.
My color right now is scared. I dont like it when the bad feelings, come. Memories, bits and pieces. A lot of times they are scary and they hurt a bit or sometimes A little or a lot more than a bit. You start to piece together kind of realize what May have really happened to you. Its a lot. I dont give up, I just keep trying, but its a lot. And sometimes it seems really hard. I wish I could just not remember what happened to me. But I cant go back. Now that stuff is opened up my think its just gonna keep coming out until its all Out in theopen or something maybe. I dont know. And I feel like I just sound weird now. But its also kind of true, what Im saying. Its a lot to try to process. Sorry.

That doesn't sound weird at all; what you said makes sense. It sounds like you are dealing with some heavy information, pieces of memories. That can be very tiring and scary to wade through. It's great that you're committed to keep going. Do you have outside support as you go through this as well? Please make sure you practice a lot of self-care throughout this process. You're doing great.
My colour right now is confused and dark.
I often just Start thinking about stuff that has happened and it makes me feel really uncomfortable and depressed and I don't know if you can really call some scenarios the way they are called or not

We hear you. I think we all here can relate to what you're saying. Trauma can be very confusing and disorienting. We can be our own worst critics too. We're glad you're here!
