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.

Hello @Fluttershy1!

How are you and Perry going tonight? 🥰

I know we touched on self-soothing strategies last time I was here. Did you want to discuss them further at all?

Hint: Singing and dancing, as well as paper star making and hugs with Perry are examples of amazing self-soothing strategies. 🤩

Hello @AuntGlow @MissGremlin @TAB @tyme @Jynx @Appleblossom @creative_writer @Jacques - been a lazy day spent most of the day sleeping as I’ve been so drained, last few days have taken it out of me, I’m currently doing self care by sitting on my bed making lucky stars. Just about to turn my TV on aswell for background noise. Trying to stay strong as it all falls apart, but knowing I have support to get through this.

am safe

Hello @Fluttershy1 sweet, I'm glad you are looking after yourself with some self care. Sending you hugs ❤️

Re: Does it ever stop

Some days are harder than others I guess @MissGremlin - E and I made a deal, if I don’t go in for 5 days we are doing a swap, she does a SpongeBob drawing for me and I make her a whole mini jar of lucky stars.

trying so hard not to fail it because I’m stronger than what I think I am.

all the housemates seem to be avoiding me which is also upsetting me aswell because I don’t know what I’ve done, 1 of them I know has to avoid me and we are not to talk or anything but the others seems to have it against me aswell which leaves me questioning with what have I done or have I said something that has upset them.

I feel like my emotions are also just riding up and down the roller coaster, just trying to get through hour by hour but it can be honestly can be overwhelming, I’m still getting through with my coping skills.

am safe

@Fluttershy1 i know some days are harder than others sweet, but i also know you do have alot of strength even if it doesn't feel that way at times. Hehe i love that deal and I reckon you can do it ☺️.

That would feel horrible having them all avoid you and I'm sorry that's happening to you.

The emotional roller-coaster is tough and it most definitely is overwhelming at times. Keep working with your coping skills sweet, you are doing really well and I'm proud of you ❤️.
