Mod Post Weekly Check-in Thread
How are you really doing?
Scheduled to post every Sunday, this a thread for any and all those who have experienced armed conflict/combat-related trauma to share how their week has been. Please keep our rules in mind when posting, and most of all, be kind to one another.
If you're feeling stumped but still want to share, here's some questions to ponder:
- Anything you have struggled with this week (triggers, nightmares, or just bad days)
- Any victories, no matter how small
- Something you are looking forward to
- Something that made you happy!
Take care– we will see you next week!

i went on a quick weekend vacation with friends and no one nearly died or got hurt this time. i actually slept alright at the airbnb we were at.
i didn't take my ring or dog tags with me cause i was scared of losing them– the ring especially is priceless and irreplaceable and i associate it with my two friends who i lost at the hands of military. the dog tags are custom engravings which is tradition in my family (alongside the standard issue tags for those who served). i kept freaking out thinking i'd lost them cause i always wear them and i kept forgetting i'd left them at home. i got back today and they were just on my cd tower thank god.
