Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Tuesday 1st August 2017
Good morning to you all!
First day of a new month! Depending on where you are in the world it will signify different seasonal change. For us "down under" its lighter mornings and less rain as we look forward to springtime (officially begins 1st September) So from the gloom of a wet winter we know we are moving on towards spring.. warm sun and fresh breezes, blossom on trees, yellow daffodils, lambs and calves..so there is hope for brighter days.
Thinking our lives go through seasonal change too.Seasons where there is light and warmth, seasons where its dark and gloomy, seasons where there's new growth, seasons where the old is let go of . ... and many more you could probably describe. And people come into our lives, sometimes just for a season, maybe for a reason.. to give us what we need at the time. And as we look forward to spring after a dark winter, so we can hope for better days to follow. (even if it hard to see right now)
Today's theme is "seasons' (as you may have guessed) So inviting you to talk about "seasons" or how your day is going, what support you need or say hi! Love to hear from you. This is your space and a safe place.
Too much to get done in the last hour of work and I'm struggling not to shut down 😕
@BeeLeigh
Thinking of you Bee, at the end of the day with too much to do,and hoping you can just make it through.Maybe pause and breathe, and focus on what you can do. x
@rozie
If I didn't have to leave right at 4:30 to make it to therapy right at 5 it wouldn't be such a problem, but now I just got another referral coming in and I'm behind on my stuff for tomorrow and part of me wants to reschedule with my therapist but I know I shouldn't so now I'm just 😩
@BeeLeigh
Oh that's not easy for you. Agree that to get to therapy is important.. its about looking after you so that you can do for others.Is there anyone there who can support you and/or can you prioritize and write a "to do" list for tomorrow..
@rozie
I'm gonna try to get to work early tomorrow. Well, more like at the same time everyone else does. I start an hour after everyone else, and I'm late nearly every day anyway, so I probably won't get there early, but I'm gonna try. My anxiety isn't nearly as bad as it used to be, but my depression is picking up the slack, and I honestly don't even know which is worse at this point. I'm exhausted. I need sleep. Or a break. Something. Idk.

@sensitiveShade5337 Hi, Shade! :)
@melliotm
Hi mellio! 👋
Hi, @sensitiveShade5337! 😊
Nice to see you here! How are you today?
@sensitiveShade5337
Hi Shade
@sensitiveShade5337
Hi!!
@rozie
This week has been exhausting, to say the least. Just tryna keep my head above the water you know?feel like I'm drowning
@SemicolonSurvivor
Glad you're here.
@SemicolonSurvivor
Yes understand how it gets like this at times. We are here with you, swimming alongside and encouraging you to keep going. x
When I left my dad's house to help my ex (dying of cancer), I left my cat Elmore. I miss him dearly, but I feel I can face my face again who were pissed off at me. I just keep thinking about my cat. Sometime he would cuddle, listen, and let me cry in bed. (I have social anxiety, I think at times I like cats more than some humans.) I'm just really said I left him.
@Rebekahwriter13
I hope you can be reunited with Elmore. I understand how difficult it is to face people that may be angry with you.
@Rebekahwriter1
Oh I do hope you will be able to get Elmore back soon. He sounds like such a comfort to you and he's probably missing you too. Maybe when it settles a bit you will feel up to going back for him, or perhaps take someone with you so you have support. x
