Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Tuesday 22nd of January, 2019

Softwhispers January 22nd, 2019

Hey everyone!, I hope all of you okay. We are almost past the first month of 2019. so far this year things in the world haven't been too bad. I hope it's the same for all of you. With every day comes an oppurtunity ot help yourself get better. The hard part is accepting that and realising you are strong enough to get better. I know no one experiences trauma in the same way but we all have one feeling in common after dealing with trauma, 'I'm not strong enough for this' which the reality is we are, you are strong enough to deal with this and get past it and get better. It might not feel like it and the strength might not be on the surface but deep inside of you, you have unlimited strength and you can deal with anything no matter how hard it is. I love each and everyone of you in the trauma family and I truly do hope everything is going well for you this week. *huge kass hugs*

thanks for the words of encouragement. i'm going through some tough moments dealing with my recovery and the feeling are particularly strong today, doubt, sadness, wanting to turn away from it. i know i'm strong enough to face it, but sometimes it helps to be reminded of that that, so thanks.

Am away with work doing annual mandatory training, the topics bring awareness to the workplace on many taboo topics, it's difficult to sit through but at the same time good to see upper management trying to effect change, communicating what is considered appropriate/inappropriate behaviour and informing employees of resources for assistance and support.

Hello. I am feeling a bit alone today. Or at least right now anyway.

I tried so hard to be good. Ive been trying my whole life. But according to a very unpleasant person who was in my life for a period of time, I never seemed to be able to do it. So then they would hurt me. Pretty badly sometimes I think anyways. Its hard to remember things that long ago.

I was so sad inside when that person would do those things to me and hurt me like that. I just wanted to be good and like everybody else and be accepted. It hurt so bad sometimes. I tried so hard but the ofds were very much against me and it seem like it never worked. Probably because the person had set things up in such a way that I could never succeed. I was practically doomed before it even began. I never realize that before. When I was a kid, I always thought I had a fair shot at it. I thought something was wrong with me or I wasnt very bright so I kept getting it wrong every single time, over and over again. And I very much did not want to get it wrong because I knew what kind of consequences there would be. But I think she set me up. I dont think there was ever a way for me to win or be right in that situation. It hurts so much now to remember it. I want to say Im sorry but I dont think I actually have anything to be sorry for. I wish that person had never ever come into my life. Im getting better, finally, but it still just all so sad sometimes.

Oh yeah. And sometimes I feel like some people or a lot of people would be better off without me. I understand that
