Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

EDIT : Do feel free to contribute some music too. Of any style. The more the merrier ...

Hi @Ybother

The way that I understand trauma is that it is experienced at a given time.

Are you having memories, or recollections of experiencing trauma at some time in the past.

I know that memories and recollections can be as difficult to deal with as the original event.

@Ybother

You have told us that you want out. Is there anything that we can do for you?

Hi@Ybother

I hear you, now I am beginning to understand the feelings that you have expressed to us.

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

I’m sorry I know I sound awful to people.

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hi @Ybother

There is the difference. You have no need to apologise for something that has happened to you.

It is an awful experience that you are dealing with. That certainly does not make you anything other than a person who has had a very bad and awful experience.

Thankyou for talking with us about your feelings and the reasons for them

Hi @Ybother

I don't know if you are still here with us, however, you will receive notification of this message.

A little while ago, during our 'talk', I took the oppportunity to look at some of your other posts. From them, I can appreciate that you are a caring person who connects easily with other people. Hopefully, those connections are made about good and positive events and feelings as well as other not so pleasant experiences.

Because of your posts on other threads and what you have let us know tonight, I believe that I like you as a person, as I think others would also.

I do hope that we can 'talk' again, however you may be feeling at any given time. Thankyou for your openness and response to my questions tonight and I am looking forward to 'talking' (chatting here) with you again, however you are feeling.

With My Very Best Wishes

I really don't feel comfortable here anymore and honestly I feel like I'm just s joke to everyone.

I don't think people take me seriously 😒 it's been going on for far to long,

I can't deal with this anymore I want out.

im sick of everyone laughing at me, I undermine the things that happened to me and now my head is a total mess because of what happened.

it's not going to get any better I just want to get out of this place

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hello @Ybother

I am taking you seriously. What I ask you to do, if you will, is to see the bad and awful events, that you have experienced, as something separate from who you are. You are a great deal more than those memories and recollections.

It is clear, that what you have experienced is probably a vivid memory for you. However, that memory does not make you who you are.

You speak of “it's been going on for too long” and that “I can't deal with this anymore....”. Have you been able to seek assistance from a person qualified to do so, who is prepared to work through your memories with you?
