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 oh sweet, you most definitely aren't a burden or a failure. I'm glad you are at the ER and I'm hoping they can support you tonight.

@MissGremlin @AuntGlow - sat on the floor of ER with my fave and we talked. No judgement or anything helped me calm down and regulate

Let’s name this fave MH nurses E & T @MissGremlin - E sat on the floor of ER with me tonight and understood how I was feeling was patience with me and didn’t make me feel invalidated or anything, she has made me feel like I’m a person instead of a nobody and she also struggles with insomnia etc and she just really understands me

Re: Does it ever stop

I am really happy to know they have supported you so beautifully @Fluttershy1. I wonder what will help you to hold onto that feeling of warmth and compassion throughout the night? 🫶
