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 i just physically can't sleep, don't feel tired, not physically anyway. So much going on at the moment so things are tough (I'm safe). Just trying to take it one step at a time.

Hey @TAB @MissGremlin @Appleblossom @tyme @Jacques @Jynx @RiverSeal @AuntGlow @SunsetSunrise @Snowie @Invi - had a busy day, got my meds the morning, had a shower, stripped my bed and washed the sheets hung them out, did some diamond art while I waited for them to dry, bought them back in, made my bed, had a support worker we walked to the pet shop and we saw the cutest kittens, got stuff for my dinner, walked home, finished the diamond art and watched mamma Mia while doing it, just had dinner and she’s finished so I’m laying on the mat chilling out ready for bed. Had a very busy day. Also changing to 1 provider for my support workers as the other company are giving red flags.

I’ll be around for abit.
