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

Good morning @Fluttershy1,

It honestly sounds like there have been some really positive moments in your day yesterday 😊

I’m glad you’ve been able to laugh with your housemate, and keep yourself gently occupied.

How did it go with your support worker yesterday?

I’m really glad to hear you were feeling more positive yesterday and that you’re feeling supported by the people around you

Hai @Nala2022 - there was really positive outcomes of yesterday, I also had a really good laugh.

having the support worker has helped aswell, it went really well, she’s one of my regulars.

I found out I’m eligible for APARC so I put in my referral and I should find out today if I get an assessment date or not.

I’m glad you were able to have a good laugh and that having your support worker there helped as well

It also sounds like you did really well getting your referral in for APARC, that’s a big step, and I hope you hear back soon with an assessment date.

Wishing you the best for today @Fluttershy1 🙂

Yeah, I’ll be off for the rest of the day, I should be back online tomorrow morning.

A quiet day with diamond art sounds like a really nice plan, I hope you’re able to enjoy it and take things at a gentle pace @Fluttershy1 💛

Re: Does it ever stop

I’ve got a few things to get done today like running some errands and doing a bit of cleaning, and then I’ll probably take some time to relax later 😊

How about you? @Fluttershy1

Re: Does it ever stop

@Nala2022 - not a lot, probably watch tv, do diamond art. Do some self care and just chill out
