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.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 leaves sound very pretty to have on a doona. I hear you sweet and I'm here with you.

Can you tell me 3 things around you that are blue?

I have stitch on my pillow case, a bunny teddy of Caspers and some diamond dots.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 that's good sweet. Can you describe what the jumper feels like?

I've grabbed Caspers teddy, it's ears feel smooth as they have a shiny fabric on them but the bunnies body is fluffy and soft.

It’s soft and smooth. It’s of Cookie Monster @MissGremlin

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 cookie monster is awesome. Can you hear any noises around you sweet?

I have my TV show playing, Casper breathing and I can occasionally hear a car go past.

@Jynx @MissGremlin - I feel like a burden and stuff up, I’m having back to back panic attacks while dissociating and it’s scary

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 i understand that burden and stuff up feeling sweet, but just cos we feel that way doesn't mean that it's true. The panic attacks while dissociating are scary. Are you sitting in a space that feels safe and comforting?
