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 that's good sweet. I hear you sweet, but you are doing well to stay present right now. We will get through this together.

What's 3 things parts of your body that you can move?

I'm moving my jaw as I'm eating, my hand while I'm typing on my phone and I'm wiggling my toes.

I won't! haha @Fluttershy1

I know that things are feeling overwhelming tonight and I can see that @MissGremlin is providing a really beautiful space for co-regulation. What is one thing that could help you to feel even 1% safer in your body right now?
