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 hope it cools down quickly for you. Some sleep would be a good idea sweet especially as you're still not well.

Re: Does it ever stop

L is another one of my faves - she’s like E & T, but if I play up she won’t take it, she puts me back in my place and she spends the time with me and wants to know what’s triggered it etc, doesn’t rush me. Always tells me I’m welcome back if I need further support. @MissGremlin

@Fluttershy1 she sounds like she takes the time to really understand how you're feeling sweet.

Re: Does it ever stop

She really does @MissGremlin - it’s means a lot when E & T & L do that. Because you know that they’re actually there for you not gonna push you away like some other people

Re: Does it ever stop

Like it’s not hard at all listening to someone who’s struggling and understanding them like let’s not judge them and all that cause that’s only gonna make him feel worse @MissGremlin I sometimes question how some of the mental health clinicians have jobs in this clinic in this area

Hiya @MissGremlin @TAB @Tolly @SunsetSunrise @tyme @Jynx @AuntGlow @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Snowie @Jacques - quiet day today, laying low watching tv and crafting, I’ve had to stop the antibiotics as I was reacting to them and I have a pounding headache that I can’t get rid of from them. So there goes that so hopefully I just heal without them.

also have a worker this arvo.

going to have a good dinner tonight ravioli. And just watch tv and crafting. Hang out here.

am safe.
