Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Wednesday 27th December 2017
Good morning everyone! 
Today, I would like to do a fun, uplifting activity after potentially rough waters on the holidays or in general. Personally, I love writing when I have time during my morning routine or I will make a cup of hot tea after a bad night of rest to try and relax. I especially love when it is foggy or rainy outside and I can wear my favorite sweater and sit by the window or enjoy a walk to clear my mind. I also try to make breakfast in the morning to some relaxing music if the day will be stressful and enjoy a sweet lemon crepe or a yummy omelette! All of us need something to uplift us now and again or make the day just a little bit nicer and easier for us and so today, I would like you to either:
1. Share a positive or cute picture you really like (a pet or animal, rain, plants, etc) with the community
2. Share an activity or a little thing you enjoy that helps you through the day (a routine, a snowy day, a healthy meal, a hobby, watering plants, playing with pets, journaling, etc)
3. Share something that you liked or enjoyed about the day today
or
4. Share your favorite thing about the time of day it is where you are at (a sunrise, sunset, leaving work/school, etc)
Lastly, tell us about your day! We can't wait to hear from you and see what you have to share with the community 
You don't have to do any of the activities if you don't want to and you can absolutely share the things that brought you down! I encourage it! ^^
Have a good day everyone!
With love from Honey

The view of having to see the sunset below the horizons from my room is the best part of any day really :)
@MayaCarino
Lovely!!
Ok, so it is believed that I have a hidden memory of a trauma. I completely agree with those who mentioned it. However, I'm in a really bad place right now and I ,as well as my professional supports, think I am not strong enough to remember or dig it up and face it.
How do you find that memory? Did it ease anything when you remembered? I have a weight on me constantly, if/when I try to recover it does that weight go away? I could ask a million questions. I just need to hear others thoughts or experiences and advice. I'm scared.
I'm scared because I know something is there. I'm scared because will finding out just make things worse. I'm scared because I don't know if I want to know. I'm scared because the energy healer, dear friend, that knows the most of my darkest or embarrassing facts and fears of something, has moved hundreds of miles away. I'm scared because I don't know if I can trust anyone.
I'm just very confused, lost,sad, and detattched right now from having several losses in a short time. I'm not even living right now. Then I have this hidden trauma on my mind. I'm very overwhelmed.
Can someone please help me?

Hi HoneyDoll, today was a good day for me. After a 4-day holiday weekend I thought it would be a bit of a challenge heading back to work today, but I teach preschool & I was actually really excited to see my class of little kiddos. I missed them over the Christmas break & couldn't wait to hear what Santa left under their Christmas trees. There were only seven children there today (normally there are 14), but it was nice to be able to give them more 1:1 attention. So that is the hightlight of my day...seeing my cuddly, snuggly little buddies at preschool today.
The thing that most helps me get through hardships, difficulties, and trials...are my two dogs Mister Magoo, & Louie Lou. They help me get/stay calm, grounded in the "present," and feel safe, accepted and loved. They are ALL I have in this world, & I'm ALL they have.
@caterpillargirl
It's lovely to hear that you enjoy working with the kids at school! It can be so rewarding to help them grow up and be a part of their lives and in a way, they can help too! Im also glad to hear you have your dogs. Im allergic to dogs but I do have a very cute leopard gecko that I love with all of my heart and it makes me so happy to see it in the mornings or after a long day :)
I hope your day was pleasant yesterday and goes pleasantly today! <3
@TheHoneyDoll
Hey what I find gets me through my day/night is music, I enjoy music. I don't really have a time that I like but I do like a summer day that turns to night and it is still light out and nice out. 
@MelanieDaniels63
Music can be such a funny way to relax or get excited and so on! Do you have a favorite genre?
I also love summer! My birthday is in August (the day before school actually) and it's so nice to be able to have a celebration before school begins. Those bright nights definitely are lovely
I hope you had a great day yesterday and that your day goes well today too!
@TheHoneyDoll Hey I like almost any kind of music and my b-day is also in Aug. well shout out to us Aug. babies. Have a great day/night.
I was going to post a picture of this view I had from when I hiked a few months ago. The view was breathtaking but unfortunately I don't know how to post pictures on here..
Today has been another tough day for me but im continuing to hang in there.. I seen my doc today which helped but I felt so ashamed to tell her how my holidays plummeted my mood and I sunk back into old coping methods. Im grateful I don't have work today I've been working non stop over the last few weeks and feels good not to have to put on the facade anymore and not having to face some of my coworkers who have been making things even more difficult is a good thing.. Anyway im ranting again.. I've been uploading some of my poetry which is something I enjoy doing.. When I figure out to post I shall post the picture I was talking bout in my post.. Much love to all and hope everyone is doing ok x 💖
@calmLake1999
That picture sounds so lovely! To post a picture, there's a little picture up top that looks like mountains and a sun or moon. You paste the link to your picture there and it should work ^^
I'm sorry to hear that the holidays were rough for you but you aren't alone there so it's okay if you struggled a bit and even if you did go back to older strategies. You are still moving forward and that's what matters most! We understand that you're trying your best and that's what matters most. Nothing embarrassing about that at all. <3 Hang in there friend.
I'm happy to hear you got time away from work and away from your coworkers. That can be such a relief and such a good time to relax and take a breather for yourself.
I hope your day went well yesterday and that it goes smoothly today as well!
@TheHoneyDoll
