Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Wednesday 10th of April, 2019
Hello, lovely people.
How are you all doing today?
I have been away for a while but I'm back in action. <3
I've missed you!
Knowing that there's a community that just supports each other and cares about its members so much, makes me even happier to come back.
To share a bit about whats been going on with me, I went on a holiday to visit my parents, I met some old friends fom Uni, and ... I drove an automatic car for the first time. Having had a license for so many years and only ever driving a manual, for some reason that was a huge challenge! ( Silly, I know :P ) But, with a bit of help from a friend I learned how the gear stick works and I didn't do a bad job.
How have you been over the last few days?
Is there anything you'd like to share?
Have you been fighting anything, overcome anything, what made you proud?
I'm sending big hugs to all who wants them and 'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Love,
Ayla

Hi Ayla. Glad youre back. Sounds like you had a fun adventure. I think its great when you can enjoy the little adventures in life. :-)
Its been a rough couple of days. Flashbacks. Some ugly stuff. Still not sure what all happened because I was so young when it happened and it was such a long time ago. Still needing support on that.
But I did just get done talking with my mom for a while and that made me feel better. I got to say some things that I suspect maybe have been rolling around on the inside and hiding from me for a long long time. The kind of things that can really hurt If theyre not addressed. Which of course you cant do until you know what they are. One of the many frustrations of PTSD/repressed memories. Its definitely getting better though. I have more more times, days even maybe, when I feel like an actual human being. I cant even tell you how many years its been. So I try to keep holding onto things like that.
I dont know if Ive ever fully felt human. The abuse happened when I was so young. Definitely had a large, lasting impact on how I saw myself. Id like to view myself as a human being of equal worth and value as everyone else. I think Ill get there someday. Ive come a long way already. I look forward to getting there and being able to enjoy that experience.
Hi. I'm new to the community. I can relate so much to the previous messages that have been posted here...
I'm doing kind of ok. I have lots of ups and downs. I am glad I have found this place. It's difficult for me to share my trauma experience, and talking to people who know what effect can have on you makes the difference.
