Something’s not right

Does it ever stop

Does it ever stop

Hey - I feel like I can’t escape how I feel, how I react to things, how flashbacks and people I see that have caused me trauma in the past and present. I feel like I’m just trapped in it some days constantly and that it just wants to stay and haunt me and not leave.

my house mates have been arguing constantly and it got to a point tonight where I yelled at them to stop as it is getting annoying as it’s nearly everyday and it never stops. Then one of them had a go at me and started yelling and telling me that it’s the other persons fault when it wasn’t even them. It’s just a constant run around and I can’t seem to escape it.

im just now curled up on my bed in tears because I’m so triggered and I don’t know what or how I’m feeling.

im safe

but it’s just bringing up all my past all over again.

@AuntGlow - not having to communicate with people who don’t understand, hiding from the judgemental people and the people who don’t understand etc. I feel like I am not heard most of the time. By ER and some of the other people in my life they just call me attention seeker

@Fluttershy1 Cruel as cruel can be when they do not know how you feel. They always made lots of assumptions with me too. Often triggering things to become worse.

There are better ways getting aid when in trouble the ED that is for sure.

Re: Does it ever stop

I understand this feeling well @Fluttershy1 💛.

I am so sorry that you're feeling misunderstood or judged by people who haven't had your lived experience... it's so, so tough.

Noticing that you're overwhelmed right now makes a lot of sense. I am wondering, what is one self-soothing practice you could explore for yourself after dinner?
