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.

I'm glad you feel like you can have a vent here @Fluttershy1 it's always good to be able to get stuff off our chest. And video games make great distractions, hey!!

I hope you make it to the doc tomorrow - even if it feels like a drag. Maybe you can plan to treat yourself afterwards, to help motivate yourself?

Good luck 😉

@Fluttershy1 @Anonymouse1000 @creative_writer @Jynx @tyme

I am sorry... at first I wasn't sure what you meant by trying to push people away and it not working ....the issue of them staying... was that they were taking you to ER.

SO it wasnt about people trying to be good in your life

YEP. This business with the ER is ...an IDIOTIC waste of taxpayers money while doing harm ... and pretending to be helping... totally NUTSO.

I am glad you are home and safe.

I live in a small house with 2 cats and my son. It is very cosy ... some people have told me its like a ferret box ... and been mean ... but we are at least in secure housing.

take care gotta go

@Fluttershy1 teehee did you end up getting bubblegum ice cream? A Bubble-O-Bill perchance?

Re: Does it ever stop

It didn’t end up going to plan @Jynx @Appleblossom @creative_writer @tyme @Anonymouse1000 @Icecream @Shaz51 - I was just hoping mum and I but no. My brother ended up joining and zapping me and not respecting boundaries. And mum didn’t want to do anything she didn’t even know want to take me. I also need a procedure on my foot so I wanted to cry I also need blood tests and yeah. A lot of stressful things.

I feel so betrayed @Jynx @Appleblossom @creative_writer @tyme @Anonymouse1000 @Icecream @Shaz51- like how do I approach it. It’s not fair at all.

In response to: Re: Does it ever stop

Re: Does it ever stop

Sounds very overwhelming @Fluttershy1 - it does always hurt when people don't respect boundaries, and feeling unsupported whilst doing something scary is always so hard too.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling betrayed. It's hard to know how to approach these things, sometimes the best thing we can do is not make any immediate decisions, and give ourselves time to process.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Jynx - yeah I guess so, but still that isn’t fair he caused trauma on me and still won’t own up to it and he thinks it’s funny as anything, I refuse to go over there,

I also need to have a procedure done on my foot which is stressing me out.

In response to: Re: Does it ever stop

Re: Does it ever stop

Hi @Fluttershy1

That's really hard that your boundaries arent being respected. It also sounds like you have to face up to a lot of past trauma which cant be easy either.

I hope that you can still get the procedure on your foot. Its important that you take care of your physical and mental health.

Maybe try to sleep well tonight and you will feel better tomorrow and more able to face the day. Maybe do something nice for yourself before you sleep!

I’m laying in bed @Anonymouse1000 - can’t seem to shut off yet, to much running through my little head.
