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.

Thanks for the update @Fluttershy1 . Glad you could take some time off. It's good to hear you are feeling better now and I totally agree that it's important to take things nice and slowly.

Did you do anything in particular today?

@tyme - not really had a new worker, not really sure about her though, I did some more diamond art, I am going to count my stars that I’ve been making once I fill the jar up fully. There’s a little bit to go.

having a off evening, struggling and feeling overwhelmed, trying to calm down by breathing and grounding, also it’s freezing here and I don’t like it. I’d rather it be warmer.

am safe

Great to hear you are trying these regulation strategies even though things aren't the easiest at the moment. Take your time with the new worker. It's natural to feel unsure of new people. I know it takes me AGES to click with people.

How many starts do you have now? @Fluttershy1
