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.

@Fluttershy1 i understand sweet. A warm shower or bath could also help if that's an option. Otherwise just finding a comfy place to sit/lay and try to get some rest might help.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 pasta is good. Maybe getting an early night could be helpful sweet?

Re: Does it ever stop

Perry sounds very comforting @Fluttershy1 🥰

Rocking is a great way to regulate the nervous system - it sounds like your body has an intuitive sense for movement, and movement is one of my go-to's when I am feeling overwhelmed. Particularly, dancing in my room, somatic shaking, a workout, or I journal, sing, speak out my feelings to someone else (or just out loud to help me process), or I have a long warm shower to help me 'reset'?

Do any of these resonate with you at all?

Re: Does it ever stop

@AuntGlow - I tend to find rocking helpful, with Perry. And arts & crafts.
