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 the bird is a Rosella and the snake is a child's python.

An example: "Need all my documentation by 1st of may so stressful ...- I just wanna be away from it all."

Recovery focused - "Need all my documentation by 1st of may so stressful ...- I just wanna be away from it all.. but i know i have to do it so i'll get started"

@Fluttershy1

We just need to make sure the forums don't become a vent/rumination platform

Hope this makes sense.

@MissGremlin is really good with recovery-focused posting so it's good you are connecting with them

Re: Does it ever stop

Awww thankyou @tyme ☺️.

@Fluttershy1 it's not always easy with recovery focused posting and it can take time to adjust to it. What i used to really struggle with was when I would get overwhelmed and post without thinking, so now I try to slow things down and pause before I post in those moments. This gives my brain a chance to focus and reflect on what I want to say, what support I'm needing etc.
