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.

@MissGremlin @AuntGlow @tyme @TAB @Jynx @Appleblossom @creative_writer @Invi - sitting outside looking at the sky there are stars and clouds but it’s starting to get cold, I needed to snap out of zoning out as I was just going deeper and deeper into it so I’m now going to make myself a bowl of pasta with cheese, do more diamond art & watch SpongeBob and hang out here. I dislike the feeling of zoning out and when you come back because you lose track of time.

im safe. Just gonna have a chill & self care night

try and also sit with my feelings & not push them away. Am safe

@Fluttershy1 I'm sitting with you sweet. Not really great myself tonight so might not be able to reply much but know that you're not sitting alone ❤️.

I'm on my bed watching a TV show and doing my diamond art.

Re: Does it ever stop

Yeah, but change is always good @TAB - but I don’t like the 3am starts or not sleeping at all. I’m trying to make more structure in my day aswell
