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

Hi @Fluttershy1

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through all of this at the moment.

I understand the feeling of being trapped, like there is no way out, it will be like this forever. It is hard to sit with those feelings. Knowing what to do, where to go to from here.

It can be really hard when different things trigger us.

I really hope that your house mates can work it out. It sounds a bit like you are stuck in the middle. Whoever you side with, the other one will have a go at you. Staying neutral can be so hard.

Whilst I don't really have any advice, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone 💗💗

Hey @AlwaysMyself - it’s peaceful here the morning which is nice, haven’t woken up with a headache which I’m thankful for, but now I’m under the stress of NDIS care team and trying to sort stuff out there. I feel like it never ends.

@Snowie - big hugs, I hate the feeling of being trapped, it’s a really overwhelming feeling. But the housemates seem to be quiet today so hopefully it stays like that.

@Fluttershy1 it has been a slightly better day than usual.

A lot of anxiety still but it was better than the day before. How was your day?

Re: Does it ever stop

Oh my day @Anonymouse1000 - horrible, it never stopped, on the phone constantly and the housemate issue has started again tonight so I’m looking for another place to move as I can not take it much longer. I’m getting quite upset over it as it’s triggering me.

im scrapbooking as we speak. Trying to calm down.
