Traumatic Experiences Daily Check-In Sunday November 26th 2017
Hey everyone, I hope you enjoyed your weekends and holidays. I had a good time with my man's family myself. As we race towards the winter holidays and soon break from school for many of us, we're all in a hard press to get things done. This time of year can be difficult on many. For me, I'm just pushing through it and getting my work done.
Anyways, you popped in, drop us a line or two and let us know how your world is going. This space is safe, and it belongs to you, feel free to use it.

Hi Raven,
It is good to know you are moving through this time of year. I am doing much of the same and hoping to get some work finished this week. I have a short break to catch up on paperwork and perhaps do a bit of cleaning, decorating for the next holiday.
I am still keeping my friends pup so she brings me a great deal of joy in addition to making me take a few breaks to enjoy the outdoors.
I hope everyone has a good day and to those who are facing some struggles, you are safe here and not alone. Please feel free to share as you feel comfortable.💛
@Compassionatelistener108 Hey Compassionate, Thanks for being here with us today, it's always wonderful to see you. I hope you njoy that puppy and your day.
@Raveninthelabrynth
Thank you, Raven. She has been making me laugh all day long. Amazing how healing it is to have a little pupster around. I hope you are having a good day.
@Compassionatelistener108 We have 12 dogs, wanna come over? lol
@Raveninthelabrynth
lol, definitely 😀
Just got home from a super long weekend of two thanksgivings and two birthday parties, and we
@BeeLeigh Glad to have you back Bee. "Yep, work sucks. That's why it's called work, not Happy Fun Time or Skippidy Doo". (Red Forman) lol
@Raveninthelabrynth
Omg I love that show 😂
@BeeLeigh lol 
@BeeLeigh
You and Raven never fail to make me see the brighter side of things! I would probably be buried safely in my books after being so social for so long. I wish I still had your energy.
@Compassionatelistener108
Oh trust me, there is no energy here lol. I live in a constant state of exhaustion, surviving on a lack of sleep and a whoooole lotta caffeine!! 😂
I play sudoku on my phone a lot. I spent a lot of yesterday on my phone. Sometimes I just go lock myself in the bathroom and play sudoku on my phone to get a break from being social. That
"Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life"

Been struggling all day. Near panic atm. 🙃 Trying to hold off from being triggered. Ugh. Having great difficulty letting racing thoughts and feelings pass through, after several days in a row of rough nightmares and emotional flashbacks. Doing my best to stay grounded. It's a struggle right now to even focus, much less access any skills or resources. Mind feels like it's in a total jumble ATM. 😩
This day has been a long one, so much great work here today, so much accomplished by many...
Raven gets up and fly's away...
under the weather feeling bad
@Raveninthelabrynth hey thinking bout ya :) hugs!!!! :D
My weekend was very emotionally heavy with a real mix of good and bad. On Saturday I came the closest to a crisis that I have been in a couple of months I think and it scared me a bit. But I have two friends here who have really shown there support for me this weekend so that was really nice and gave the the strength to carry on.
This week I have another appointment with a psychologist who is my only route to possible treatment at the moment. Last week I met him for the first time and found him to be very unprofessional. But I was too destressed to really handle it well myself. This week I want to be calm enough in the appointment to respond better. I want to give him another chance and I really hope I can get some support as a result. But if it doesn't go well again I am taking a pen and paper to write down some things and I will go to another person in the organisation to complain. So another hard week ahead. Bleh.
On the whole, I think I am becoming someone who can deal with more than I could in the past and I am developing an idea of what my problems really are and what I need to recover. So that is progress even though things are really really tough right now.

That indeed sounds like you are making great progress and something to be quite proud of yourself for! ❤️⛺
