Life and trauma

No dinner @Former-Member I'm sorry to hear that you are not having dinner.

How are you feeling tonight?

@Till23 nothing unusual for me.

I'm very on edge and anxious tonight. I've been emotional all day which has exhausted me but not enough to sleep.

I hate it went that happens @Former-Member

That was kind of like my last night, but I didn't have as much at stake as you have.

I hope you are able to get a good rest tonight

@Till23 not sure I'm going to be getting much rest tonight. I'm having vivid flashbacks and struggling to keep myself in the present moment.

What do you use for grounding @Former-Member

Hey @Former-Member , I'm mindful you spend a lot of time on the forums. Please don't burn yourself out. If you need offline time to maintain a healthy balance, please do so. @Former-Member

I vaguely remember you said you went out to the shops today?

@Till23 I'm trying to do my colouring but I'm losing focus. I'm looking around my room and trying to name objects and notice their colours etc. Just struggling to know what's real and what's not.

@tyme the forums aren't an issue. Staying on here means I'm staying connected and that helps me.

Yes I went to the shops today, needed to get milk.

Good @Former-Member , as long as you aren't over doing it.

As for naming colours, that's a really great one. I find that helps me when I'm going for a mindfulness walk.

I'm going to bed soon and wrapping up. I'll see you later in the week.

@tyme if I need a break I'll take one but right now it's better me being here than not.

It sometimes works but not all the time but I keep trying things.

Hope you have a good night, chat to you next time 😊.
