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.

@DownMoreThanUp @MissGremlin @Appleblossom @Nala2022 @AuntGlow - my forums is having a fit and not letting me log in sometimes, I’m having a not great day. I just wanna hide because I feel terrible today. I managed to have a shower and now I’m laying back in bed.

just feels like I can’t escape today. I just wanna hide out with Perry. MH triage don’t wanna help either so I’ve just thought blah I’m going to bed again.

might do diamond art later I’m not sure yet. I’m just laying here with music on . Don’t want a bar of my housemates either. Got Perry. Trying to put my thoughts on leaves and let them flow down a stream but it’s racing to fast today.

am safe

Re: Does it ever stop

Is it a 2 week stay?

If so, are you going to take some stuff there to do? @Fluttershy1

When I've been in the past, I mainly read, did diamond art, walks, mindful colouring...

All the best with it.

@Meowmy @creative_writer @MissGremlin @tyme @DownMoreThanUp @Nala2022 @TAB @Appleblossom @AuntGlow - today has been a interesting, lots of different emotions and they have been strong then others, having to keep my head busy because it gets to loud sometimes or it becomes super chattery and all of that and the racing thoughts. I’ve been doing my lucky stars & playing video games, I’ve also just redone my Netflix so I can watch good movies again.

I did abit more of my diamond art today, which was nice, hopefully I can finish it tomorrow which would be an achievement.

I ended up sending my support worker home abit early because I just wasn’t having it and I just wanted my own space and time for myself.

im currently laying in bed with Perry, he’s helping regulate me, I’m hoping I can go to sleep soon as I’m exhausted. It’s been a big day, I just hope tomorrow is a better day, with less big emotions and more stability.

Hi @Fluttershy1,

I sounds like things have been up and down for you these last few days. I’m glad you’ve been finding some ways to keep yourself occupied and grounded through things like your lucky stars, gaming, and diamond art.

I hope you were able to get some rest with Perry nearby, and that today brings a bit more calm and stability for you 💛

Re: Does it ever stop

Hai @Nala2022 - it has been, that’s why I’ve been trying to keep myself occupied because otherwise my head just starts racing with thoughts and emotions.

I’ve barely slept last night which I’m not impressed about I just wanna cry, because I’m exhausted and my body won’t let me get the rest I need. So I think today will be a quiet one and hopefully a relaxing one. Might try and finish my diamond art and watch a movie, I’ve got a support worker this afternoon which will be good.

got Perry super close, he’s been helping me through. So has gaming and crafting.

I also got accepted into APARC but don’t have an admission date yet.

am safe

Re: Does it ever stop

I’m really sorry you’ve barely slept, that sounds incredibly exhausting, especially when your mind feels so busy and emotional at the same time.

Those all sound like supportive things to lean into right now

And congratulations on being accepted into APARC. I can imagine there’s probably a mix of emotions around that while waiting to hear about an admission date.

I’m glad you’re safe @Fluttershy1
