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’m glad to hear you’re feeling somewhat okay today @Fluttershy1 😊 Keeping your mind busy sounds like a good gentle focus for today.

I hope the day feels a bit steadier and kinder for you

Hopefully @Nala2022 - but feeling lost, a lot of feelings going around that I can’t express.

Re: Does it ever stop

I’m sorry things are still feeling so hard and confusing right now @Fluttershy1 . It can be really overwhelming when there’s so many feelings there but no easy way to put them into words.

You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. Taking gentle steps and going at your own pace is enough

@Nala2022 - it just feels like a whirlwind of emotions sometimes it gets overwhelming and then I really don’t know how to feel. Then sometimes I bottle them up and then it isn’t healthy and then I explode in an anger outburst. Am safe

Re: Does it ever stop

That sounds really exhausting to carry around, especially when the emotions build up so intensely and feel hard to sort through or express.

A lot of people find that bottling things up for too long can eventually come out in bigger emotional reactions, so it makes sense that things can reach that overwhelming point sometimes.

I’m glad to hear you’re safe, and that you’re talking about it here instead of holding it all in on your own @Fluttershy1 💛

I’m slowly learning how to talk about it @Nala2022 - but I’ve beeen given a choice by ER yesterday because I’m 24 turning 25 soon I still am considered youth but I have a choice of where I can go I can go to youth PARC or Adult PARC. Just not sure what to do.

Re: Does it ever stop

I’m really glad you’re slowly learning how to talk about what you’re feeling, that’s not easy, especially when emotions have felt so overwhelming lately.

It makes sense that choosing between Youth PARC and Adult PARC feels like a big decision. I can imagine there are different things to consider for each, and it might feel a bit uncertain trying to figure out what would suit you best right now.

If it helps, you don’t have to decide everything all at once. Sometimes it can be about where you feel most comfortable and supported at this point in time.

And with your birthday coming up soon, I hope you’re also able to do something kind for yourself, even something small @Fluttershy1

In response to: Re: Does it ever stop

Re: Does it ever stop

@Nala2022 - I feel like I’m more leaning towards adult because I feel like with youth it’s just the same old thing and all the workers know me and I just don’t find it benifical as they have music threapy etc as where adult just solely focuses on skills etc.

I need to like refresh my skills.

In response to: Re: Does it ever stop

Re: Does it ever stop

It sounds like Adult PARC might feel more aligned with where you’re at, especially if you’re wanting something more focused on building skills and having a bit of a fresh start. Sometimes we just have to go with our gut feeling.

I hope whatever you choose feels supportive for you @Fluttershy1 💛
