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 that's so frustrating when people aren't mindful of others in the house when it comes to keeping quiet. I'm sorry that it's been overwhelming sweet but I'm glad you've got Perry with you and you're watching a movie.

You're doing well to try to stay present. I'm dissociating myself tonight, trying to do some of my diamond art to keep myself present while I'm waiting to talk to a crisis service (I'm safe).

I’m slowly warming up @MissGremlin - I’m just watching the end of my movie. Then it will be off to bed I think.

I am just trying to do things that will help me.

@Fluttershy1 I'm glad you're slowly warming up sweet. I've just packed up my diamond art and laid down with Casper.

Was Casper excited to see you when you got back home @MissGremlin?

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 he was very excited. He got 2 new toys that I brought back with me. One being a very loud squeaky ball. Maybe not such a good idea when one has a migraine 😂.

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 nah he's snuggled up with me now. He doesn't play with his toys during the night. But he loves squeaky toys so much.
