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.

@TAB @MissGremlin @Tolly @SunsetSunrise @tyme @Jynx @AuntGlow @Appleblossom @Jacques - feeling trash this evening, did some diamond art saw my support worker that I haven’t seen in forever which was really nice, just trying to deal with my erratic thoughts and stay home to watch SpongeBob and make stars and continue using my coping skills.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 sorry you're feeling trash sweet. I'm glad you got to see the support worker that you haven't seen for a while, that would have been nice. You're doing well to use your coping skills.
