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.

I we y @creative_writer @Anonymouse1000 @Jynx @Appleblossom @tyme @Icecream @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @Snowie - so beside myself today has been and I’ve been all

over the place I got called a narcissist and told I’m better off not here by my bro which really upset me and he told me he disowns me and he is only 14 years old. He is still talking to o my AB ex who I’m trying to get rid of all together but he won’t remove him at all and fails to listen to my boundaries and now I’m stuck on what to do as he has triggered me so much and hurt my feelings and doesn’t care at all.

im currently sitting in the ER beside myself. Not knowing what’s gunna happen at all.

im safe though.

Hi @Fluttershy1

That must be so hard, I'm sorry you are at ER again. Is there someone who is with you? Did you have a support worker who is with you right now?

Glad you are safe!

Hey @Anonymouse1000 - I was seen by my favourite clinician and we talked things through and made a plan so I got to go home safely and now I’m home safely eating dinner and just watching a movie

Hey @Anonymouse1000 @creative_writer @Jynx @Appleblossom @tyme @Chasingsunsets @Spirit_Healer @Snowie @MissGremlin - hope your day is going well!

Trying to keep myself busy as I don't want my mind racing and causing upsetting thoughts so I'm trying to keep busy and my carer will take me out this evening which will be good.

Just trying to sit with the uncomfortable feelings as they will come and go and I just need to accept that and try not to push them away.

Am safe

@Fluttershy1 i know it can be tough to sit with those uncomfortable feelings, but know you're not alone. Try to remember that the thoughts are exactly that, just thoughts, we don't have to act on them, they can be there but they aren't in control of us.

In response to: Re: Does it ever stop

Re: Does it ever stop

That's exactly what I've been doing @MissGremlin - trying not to let them be in control, because I'm stronger than them, I also am looking forward to being able to go out with my carer and be able to do something fun.

am safe

@Fluttershy1

Feeling come and go, and are often difficult for me too. Anticipation can help shift our thought.

I hope you have a good night out with your worker tonight. Tell us what you get up to.

Re: Does it ever stop

Hey @Appleblossom @MissGremlin @Anonymouse1000 @creative_writer @Jynx @tyme - ended up going to the city and looking around at the new stations then we ended up going to a arcade and winning a few plush toys that I can put on my keys.

got home and tried having a general convo with a housemate and then another one comes and listens in and the housemate asks them to go away but they don't so then it ends in a massive argument, I just don't know what to do, it really baffles me..

Am safe
