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'm glad your paper arrived sweet.

You're doing well to keep yourself busy by making stars.

Re: Does it ever stop

Hai @MissGremlin @AuntGlow - I feel like a burden tonight, debating if I go see if E is in to go get help off her as I’ve been trying to help myself all day, but just seem to be getting more upset and frustrated with my thoughts and myself.

am safe, still making lucky stars

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 i understand the feeling sweet but you're not a burden. If you feel like you need to go to get help then that's ok.

I'm proud of you for still making lucky stars despite all the thoughts and feelings.
