Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check in for Sunday December 9th,2018
Hey lovelies! How is everyone? Its funny how that question is asked so often but so often lied about the answer to. So today I wanna know the real deep down painful answer to such a simple question. How are you? My questions for you today are
How are you? (Really)
what are your plans for today?
whats one thing you can do for yourself today as self care?
remember this is your safe spot! Bye lovelies!
Good morning!
How I am fluctuates during the day with trauma and flashbacks.
I am working on practicing self care by reaching out to others instead of isolating.
I often go numb and speechless which makes it hard and seeking meaningful connection is a struggle.

Well done on making the choice to reach out instead of isolating! That's a huge step.
How am I really? I am at a point where I hesitiate to answer that question. I think I should say I am okay. I don't think people want to hear anymore. I will say how I am because you asked.
I am not well. Physically and mentally not well.
Today I will go to the gym and do what I can.
@practicalIdeal2007 Im sorry to hear you arent doing well! Hope that gets better! Going to the gym is a great way to self care!
Is there trauma discussion today? For some reason I can't seem to connect with the sessions.
@emotionalMaple9419 there is an adult one but the next teen one is Tuesday at 6pm EST

How are you? (Really) Today, I am struggling with not a wink of sleep last night. I wish so that my body would let me nap during the day, to make up for the sleepless nights. It would be so nice if we we could take our brains out and plug them in like we do with our phones...to let them charge and our bodies rest! I am trying some new things to my sleep protocol, but last night just was not a night to bargain with.
what are your plans for today? I really can't plan for my days like I used to. I have to wait until I know what each day feels like before I can "plan" my days and even that is at such a reduced level from my "pre" self. For today, my brain and body are cooperating at low levels, but my mood is sunshiny with the weather.
whats one thing you can do for yourself today as self care? I will try to do some light exercise, if I can convince my body it will have a better chance of sleeping a few winks tonight if I get moving.

How are you? (Really) I'm actually doing better than I have been in a really long time. My computer is fixed, dinner turned out well, and I have energy.
what are your plans for today? I cooked, reorganized and remade my bed, worked on my computer, and organized presents
whats one thing you can do for yourself today as self care? I listened to Christmas music

Wow that's amazing! Enjoy these days! Sometimes I tend to forget about those good days on my bad ones, so lately I've been trying to consciously make the memories stick so I can fall back on them later when I need them. Hoping the week continues to be a good one for you (especially leading up to your b-day!!! 
).
@AmityLagniappe thank you for the positivity and confidence.
@krispykitty12
I am doing okay so far. Just working. I have a Christmas party later on :)
