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.

Hello @Fluttershy1 sweet, a quiet evening sounds nice. It's tough when we can't switch our minds off but you are doing well by watching the Pitt. Have you got an activity that you can work on?

Re: Does it ever stop

What do you enjoy about the Pitt? @Fluttershy1

And it's okay to have a busy brain. What do you think could help your busy brain feel less busy right now? 💛

Making stars @MissGremlin @AuntGlow - I enjoy the Pitt as it’s abit of a thrill seeker and you never know what’s going to happen. I’m not liking the busy mind as it’s always racing and struggling with flashbacks. Am safe

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 yay for more stars ☺️. Flashbacks are hard, have you got Perry with you sweet? Sometimes holding something comforting and reminding yourself that you're safe can help to keep you present in the moment ❤️.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 I'm glad you've got Perry, you're doing really well at supporting yourself through this sweet. If you feel you need to see someone and get that extra support then that's ok to do.

Re: Does it ever stop

@MissGremlin - I just need to know if T or E are on, I had the one I don’t like on last night and that upset me. Am safe
