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 Honest my dear, i know so well what you are saying, but the truth is, normal does not exist it is but an illusion. You are you and in great need of love and tender care so stability can be. i'll be straight forward with you about this we best take our self as the norm - not let a concept called normal taking away your sense of personal identity and worth.

@MissGremlin @Jynx @AuntGlow @Invi

You are precious please let your mind travel from right - YOU - to address - wrong in you - not from i am wrong and then try find the right there.

Honest as much as this might feel you need to do, it never worked for me, or anyone i know, who long term struggling with mental illness.

Our self WORTH ought to be bottom line to our healing - not hoped for to arise the invisible of concepts taught socially, but not true when considered truthfully.

This is the end result of a prose i wrote on this very subject.🤗

The Worth of the Soul

Our soul is worth more
than all the wealth of the universe,
for truth shapes
the life we consciously live.
Existence itself deserves great love,
while truth stands beside it.
Truth makes us strong
where lies once made us weak.
And truth knows suffering—
for we know suffering too.

The truth of our soul is
the life we have lived:
pain endured, tears shed,
moments survived.
Nothing can rob us
of the reality of a life truly been.
Good or bad,
experience shape who we are today
though not always
who we were meant to be
from the beginning.

Why do we struggle so often?
Because imbalance cannot stand upright forever.
Yet even pain is subdued in time
by life’s refusal to cease.
Moment after moment
life continues.
And in truth nothing is forgotten—
not even our deepest sorrow.

How could our truth not remain?
If one plus one equals two
needs nothing to exist
and yet is always true,
why should we believe
our struggles are lived in vain?
For unseen beauty grows
through trials we barely understand.
Passing moments become memory,
and memory becomes wisdom.

Truth keeps our life stored.
Lies wound us,
but truth preserves us.
Goodness that is lived
remains within the soul.
Nothing truly good
is ever lost.
And so we are shaped
by the good we have lived.

Walking Truth
Life lived truthfully
becomes our reality of being.
If we wish to know ourselves
we must walk in truthful love.
have love that endures.
Love that continues loving true
love beyond passing of time.
And throughout the harvest of life
as we reap what we have sown.

For each day we exist
within an abundance we did not create.
Even when we struggle to love ourselves
life continues to sustain us.
And that simple permission to exist
carries already great mercy.
Every soul is an expression of truth.
Each life a unique identity
within the great tapestry of being.
A truthful image fears no mirror.
Indeed, it does not need one.

For when we seek truth
we live real existence
the good and the difficult times alike.
Suffering has many faces.
Life turns like a wheel
through joy and sorrow.
We know suffering wounds the heart,
yet suffering also deepens
our understanding of goodness.
And so time moves forward
as we shape our future
moment by moment to better.

Our deepest longing
has always been simple:
“I wish suffering would be gone.”
Nothing truer
has ever been spoken.
For the heart knows
life was not meant for misery.
One day truth will stand fully revealed.
And when truth stands
lies will fall away.
Even if our past was imperfect
truth still desires life without suffering.
And truth will guard that life
when life in lies is gone.

Conscious life both gives
and receives love.
Truth grows within us
like a small seed.
From that tiny seed
an inner universe unfolds
even in our darkest hours.
For every moment lived
is held within the greater life.
The Eternal Discovery!

Therefore nothing is greater
than living truthfully in true.
Let each day reveal again
the quiet miracle existing
