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.

Hai @Jacques @MissGremlin @Invi @tyme @Jynx @Appleblossom @SunsetSunrise @AuntGlow @rav3n - sorry for being quiet the last few days had to take time off for me as I was in back to back panic attacks, everything was overwhelming, I feel somewhat better now, just taking it nice and slowly.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 it's been a pretty tough day for me, I've been sitting here trying to do a new diamond art but the colours aren't right, they've really messed up with the numbers.

I love the way that other diamond art turned out though, thankyou sweet ☺️.

Have you been up to anything today?

@MissGremlin - sorry it’s been a tough day, what one are you doing now?

I had a quiet one and I went down to mums and made dinner for them

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 it's meant to be one of a frog but it's just crap really, trying to see if I can somehow salvage it from their mistake.

A quiet day sounds nice, I bet they loved you making dinner for them.
