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

@Fluttershy1 of course we can sweet. Just know if I don't reply it's cos I have a seizure coming (I'm safe). How's the diamond art going?

I haven’t done any today @MissGremlin - I’ve been to dissociated to do it, I’ve been watching tv with Perry. Have you got Casper nearby? What helps stop the sezuires?

am safe

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 that's understandable, I struggle to do mine when I'm dissociating too. Glad you've been watching TV with Perry though. Casper is laying across me. Whilst I can delay a seizure it's not recommended cos it often makes them worse when they do happen.

Re: Does it ever stop

Tv bring on just helps sometimes @MissGremlin - don’t delay your seizures if it makes it worse. Is there a way you can reach out to someone to make sure it isn’t to long?

In response to: Re: Does it ever stop

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 unfortunately there's noone.

Have you got any plans for tomorrow sweet?

In response to: Re: Does it ever stop

Re: Does it ever stop

@MissGremlin - it’s a quiet one tomorrow, got a support worker starting at 3pm tomorrow till 6pm so that will be good, I saw A & C in ER today and that wasn’t great, I was told just to get a job and that I’ll be fine. Which made me more upset.

I’ll try and sleep in. And do self care. Am safe
