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

Hey @Fluttershy1 I have been flat out for a couple of days. I am glad you have had company chatting, and enjoying your diamond art. Congrats on clean sheets. Its always a big job for me.

I have not been sleeping through the night much for the last few weeks. My son was going through a lot of pressured energy, wakefulness, or mania, but I dont necessarily buy all the psych speak. So its been full on here. He took himself to the ED and today just saw him at the ward. At least this time, it has not been quite as extreme as earlier times. Maybe this stuff is running its course a little. We will see. I am allsorts. Fragile, limping, terse and assertive and I burst into tears at church this morning, but had a serious hour, then a few laughs with him and the other patients, and a game of UNO.

Hope you are all coping reasonably.

Hey @tyme @TAB @Appleblossom @Jynx @MissGremlin @AuntGlow @Snowie @Shaz51 - housemate left finally today after her eviction so feeling a lot better, but now a male housemate that is down the other end of the house wants to move into the room next to me which I’m not comfortable about.

Re: Does it ever stop

Hello @Fluttershy1 sweet, I'm glad that house mate left after being evicted. I can understand not being comfortable with having a male house mate in the room next to you.

Sitting with you sweet, you're not alone ❤️

Re: Does it ever stop

No he’s too full on for me, it really sets me off he doesn’t understand boundaries. @MissGremlin - every time you walk somewhere he comes and starts yapping or follows you around like a dog.

im safe, I’ve tried implementing boundaries but they don’t work

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 that sounds incredibly tough sweet. I'm sorry your boundaries aren't being respected.
