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.

@Fluttershy1 It was great reading about you making chicken caesar salad. Its one of my gotos, to make, when I dont have to think, but want healthy yum.

It is hard managing support workers. It is supposed to all about support, but each one is unique and comes with very different skills and baggage. Some are better than others about being aware about their own stuff, and how they show up for their client. Good luck with it.

I am going through changes too. I am trying to manage my forum time, so going for a day on and a day off.

Take care

including... @tyme @MissGremlin

gently bently

Good plan regarding managing your forums time @Appleblossom . Thank you for sharing how you do it as it can look different for everyone.

Hope you are okay.

@Appleblossom @tyme @TAB @MissGremlin - sitting quietly and doing my diamond art. Trying a new method of sitting with my feelings instead of pushing away

Re: Does it ever stop

Well done @Fluttershy1 . That takes a lot of guts to "Sit with the uncomfortable". We all try to push away the uncomfortable, but in my therapy in the past, it was also about learning to sit with what is unpleasant because it WILL PASS.

Hang in there.

So proud of you!

I don’t like it because it’s uncomfortable but I need to sit with it @tyme - I can’t always be pushing it away. I’m also doing my diamond art. Do you want to see it?

That's precisely it. It's uncomfortable. It's not pleasant. But we all have to do it. Good on you for doing it.

Yeah, why not? Let's see the art.
