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.

That sounds cool! Thrill-seeker, hey? I might have to give it a go. 🤩 @Fluttershy1

Do you ever watch reality TV? I low-key find it comforting. 😅

Flashbacks are a lot to sit with, so I am glad you are reaching out and connecting to what feels safe, that shows really wonderful initiative.

Do you have a self-soothing toolkit at all?
