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.

Re: Does it ever stop

Hai @MissGremlin @TAB @Jacques @Appleblossom @tyme @Jynx @AuntGlow - trying to keep busy as my mind is racing with thoughts which is very overwhelming, so I’m currently sitting on the floor doing diamond art. Listening to music and dancing. Don’t know how I really feel at the moment as I’m in and out - am safe

@Fluttershy1 sorry that the house mates don't care sweet. Have you got Perry with you? I might not be able to reply much but I'm here with you ❤️

Yeh @MissGremlin - listening to music to drown them out, the door slamming is triggering. It’s ok. I got a worker coming soon. I’m doing my diamond art.

Hello @Fluttershy1 sweet, I'm sorry it's a tough night for you. Enjoy the time with your support worker and I hope you can get some rest after or relax with some diamond art.

Re: Does it ever stop

She’s gone home now @MissGremlin - probably will lay down, I’m pretty drained. My emotions have been high all day. Am safe.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 i reckon laying down and having Perry with you sounds perfect. Hoping you can get a good night's sleep.
