Something’s not right

Does it ever stop

Fluttershy1Senior Contributor10 Mar 2026, 8:49 pm AEDT

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 you’re feeling a bit cozy at the moment at least

I’m sorry to hear things are going on that are upsetting you though. You don’t have to share anything you don’t want to, but we’re here with you @Fluttershy1

Re: Does it ever stop

I’m sorry to hear things at home have been unsettling, that sounds really overwhelming. Are you safe right now @Fluttershy1?

Finding out you’ve been put under the CATT team can be really distressing, especially if you weren’t expecting it.

I’m glad you’ve got your support worker today. Do you have any plans with them?

@Nala2022 - I’m safe, I’ve got Perry penguin. I’m sitting on my bed watching the stars on my roof. Just wanna feel ok.

nothing really planned with the support worker today.

Trying to have a lowkey day, plus I don’t wanna be chased around by CATT team. I’m not impressed that I’m under them as it is. But it is what it is.

Re: Does it ever stop

I’m really glad to hear you’re safe and that you’ve got Perry with you.

I hope your support worker today can still offer some support, even if there’s nothing specific planned.

I can hear how you’re feeling about being under the CATT team, that sounds like a lot to take in @Fluttershy1

Re: Does it ever stop

@Nala2022 - it’s helpful having the support worker even if we don’t do anything. I’m just happy to sit and watch tv. Cuddle with Perry. I’m going to treat myself to a new Bluetooth speaker aswell.

I’ll be here for abit. I just feel blah

Re: Does it ever stop

I’m really glad the support worker being there feels helpful, even if you’re just keeping things low-key. Sitting with TV and cuddling Perry sounds like a gentle way to get through the day

So good! Treating yourself to a Bluetooth speaker sounds like a nice little thing to look forward to too 😊

It’s okay to just feel “blah” sometimes. I’ll be off shortly, and I hope things feel a bit lighter for you as the day goes on @Fluttershy1
