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.

Re: Does it ever stop

I’ve got one song stuck in my head while watching my show @MissGremlin - sorta distracting me. But making stars is quite helpful

Re: Does it ever stop

I’m never this tired, I dislike being sick, but it’s too early to be sleeping @MissGremlin - plus last night I accidentally slept with my door unlocked and now I’m triggered and scared I’ll do it again. Am safe

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 when we aren't well it's best to get as much rest as possible so we can recover quickly. Maybe you could lock your door now just in case you do fall asleep?

Re: Does it ever stop

I have locked it already @MissGremlin - I’m sitting here making stars at the moment watching my show.

@Fluttershy1 that's good that you've locked it sweet. I just made a few stars but I'm feeling tired so might try to get some sleep. Hoping you can get some rest soon sweetheart ❤️.
