Traumatic Experiences Community Forums Daily CheckIn - Sunday 19th February 2017
Its the weekend!!!! Yay! How are you all doing? Hows your week been? Any plans for the weekend? Healing from traumatic experiences is hard going, its hard work and it can be very much a rollercoaster of a journey. Its important to always look after yourself and your needs and to take time out for you and practise some self care when needed. This space is yours, to share whats happening in your world, to say Hi, to let us know if you need some extra support, to share the good days, bad days and inbetween days. This is a safe and supportive daily checkin space for our members :)
I'm struggling. I'm in a bad place. I need to be productive and it's just not happening. I can't do it. All I got done yesterday was two quizzes, and I didn't even do that well on them. I still have the exam, writing assignment, and all the discussion board posts, and it's all due in less than 12hrs. Maybe some people can do that, but I just can't. My grade is not going to be great for this class 😔
@BeeLeigh
I dunno what to say to make you feel better. Just know I'll be thinking of you ..
@BeeLeigh
It sounds like you have a lot going on at the moment, have you ever tried relaxation training? i find this gives me clarity and a fresh mind.
@Faeryschild
My problem at the moment is more on the depression side of things as opposed to my more common anxiety issues. I did stop crying though, and I watched Knocked Up over at my mom's house, so I think I can maybe get one or two things done. I emailed my professor asking for an extension, and since I was still crying at the time, I'm sure it was a very professional email. I honestly don't want to go back and read it because I'm positive I overshared, but hopefully she lets me have a little more time. I'm still not in a good place, but I'm a tiny bit better and I'm not crying at this moment, so I'm going to try studying for the exam and see if I can't get that one done at least!
@BeeLeigh
I totally understand and your professor will too. I've asked for extensions countless times and been worried about overstaring my issues. Sometimes it's good to offer details because the decider gets the full picture of what's going on and they can give you an adequate extension. Everything is strictly confidential so I wouldn't worry about it. You'll have to let me know when your extension comes through Bee ❤❤
Today was better than yesterday.. Helped my son clean his room. He feel good we, didn't complete but it is way better than I could do a moth ago. I could stay focused ..
@Tatiana75 So glad today was better for you <3
