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 maybe you'll be feeling better and you might not need to.

@Fluttershy1 sorry your head hurts. Maybe you could try to get a bit of sleep sweet. I'm laying in bed snuggled up with Casper.

Hey there @Fluttershy1!

I just wanted to jump in, because I saw a couple of posts that you've shared, saying that tonight has been extra difficult for you 😔 It's great that you're keeping yourself distracted and doing some calming activities (something about crafting can be really soothing hey!)

While it can be really tough to sit in a space like this, I want to send a gentle reminder that you don't have to carry this all on your own 🌿 Your Sane community is here, and I also encourage you to make use of the free counselling hotlines like BeyondBlue or Lifeline, if you need a chat.

If all you feel like doing tonight is to make a whole heap of stars with your current favourite show on the background, that is also totally okay 🌼 It's alright to take things one step at a time, and to just focus on getting some rest or whatever it is you need to do to feel even more settled.

Sending you some extra calming energy tonight and hope that inspiration finds you, so that you can figure out what to do with your diamond art! Let us know what you decide to do with it 🙌

Take care!

Hey @MindfulMango -

I eventually fell asleep to ocean sounds and with my weighted penguin. Yesterday was a lot, still making stars today and watching my favourite show waiting for my support worker to start.

am safe
