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 can hear how much you are needing support and also how overwhelming it has been trying to access that support. What have the nurses/doctors suggested might be helpful? @Fluttershy1

I really like @MissGremlin's question about what would be the safest option for you. It sounds like you're thinking home might be best right now, so I am wondering what your safety plan for the night could look like? 🫶

Re: Does it ever stop

@AuntGlow - they keep forgetting about me aswell which doesn’t help, it just triggers me more. I’m better off at home with Perry, my diamond art, watching my shows and hanging out here.

can always go back if it gets to much again.

Im also going to make some pasta yummmyyyyy

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 pasta is yummy 😋. Hoping the pain relief helps sweet. I have a headache myself, hoping I can sleep it off so it doesn't turn onto a migraine.

Re: Does it ever stop

I am over people atm in ER, that’s why I ended up leaving it was triggering me more. The wait would have been 10+ hours because there was 5 people in front of me and my category was not urgent. @MissGremlin

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 i hear you sweet. It's tough as there's not always enough support in the ER for MH.
