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.

@MissGremlin @Shaz51 @Jynx @DownMoreThanUp @SunsetSunrise @Appleblossom @AuntGlow - sitting here making stars, watching the Pitt, decided that napping wasn’t the smartest idea.

@Fluttershy1 How did that wait with NDIS go? Having seen my wife deal with them with regard to our daughter, NDIS can be painstaking slow and uncaring about the effect this has on you.

Re: Does it ever stop

Half an hour wait @DownMoreThanUp - it’s so painful, the hold music is terrible. I wish they would change it. Everyone is annoying me today is the house as they are at each other so I’m hiding away in my room. It’s safe here.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 i was hoping it would not effect you like that, but it often did my wife and she is one of the most stable patient people you find. i used to get more upset seeing her wait for 20 minutes just to get and automated voice tell you to need to talk to a different department and another 20-30 minutes wait time is added.

@MissGremlin @Shaz51 @Jynx @SunsetSunrise

i know i feel cynical about this, i reckon they do this so you be happy when you get your benefits, and will not not quickly complain, for it is simply not worth the hassle just to get heard let alone get change. Truly dehumanising treatments!🤗

Good to hear they did not manage to trigger you.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 the stars are beautiful.

It is good you had some forum family around. A tv show and games can be good distraction.

I have been busy and interupted when I logged in, so hope I can get through my notifications tonight.

@Appleblossom @DownMoreThanUp @MissGremlin @Shaz51 @Jynx @AuntGlow - in ER tonight really shaken up as we had a incident happen at the house and I have had a trauma response and I don’t feel safe there at the moment. So sitting in ER waiting to be seen hoping for a smooth process. Am safe

Gosh that sounds like a really intense situation you went through tonight @Fluttershy1! You are doing so well to get the support you deserve at the ER though, fingers crossed for you that the wait isn't too long and that the process is smooth.

Re: Does it ever stop

Oh I’m so drained @NightHedgehog @MissGremlin - I’m still here waiting, I don’t like this feeling. Am safe
