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 there's no need to rush into making dinner. It's completely ok to chill with Perry and hopefully you can settle a bit then maybe make some pasta after ☺️

But I wanna make it before it gets too late @MissGremlin - trying to encourage myself. But can’t take myself to leave my room, as the other housemates don’t wanna get sick. Plus another one of the housemates is annoying the heck out of me and I just wanna cry more so it’s safer hiding away I feel. Crafting with perry
