Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Tuesday 17th April 2018
Hello lovely "trauma family"
Just reading the Party Edition and Deb's post "Soooo much going on" hit a chord. Seems that April is a very significant and busy month for the trauma community. We're a whole year old and that's to be celebrated.. and celebrate we will with cakes and I'm adding balloons Deb.... gotta have balloons at a party! Then there's our other focus on Child Abuse Awareness and there's lots going on and its been pretty full on.
So how are you doing?As they say, good stress, bad stress, its all stress and with PTSD there as a tendency to get "overwhelmed" You know the feeling when its too much. .... when there's too much activity, too much noise, too much that is triggering.. its overwhelming.It may be time to pause, to breathe, to walk away, to go to our safe place.
Its keeping the balance (don't let the stress cup tip over) , staying within our limits, and doing what we can with what we have.... enjoying the moments!
How is your day going? How do you take care of yourself when there's a lot going on? Or pop in to say hi! Love to hear from you.. This is your space and a safe place. x
