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 he's very cheeky. I did see and I've watched 10 of them out of the list. I don't watch new movies at the moment though as it's too much change for me.

@Fluttershy1 very true. I stick to comfort shows and movies for the moment.

Totally understand @MissGremlin - I do the same when I struggle, or I tend to watch marine life movies

Hi @Fluttershy1

I’m sorry to hear you didn’t sleep well and that yesterday felt so tough for you. Nightmares and broken sleep can really leave everything feeling extra heavy and draining the next day.

I’m glad you’re safe. Hopefully today feels a little gentler for you 💛

Re: Does it ever stop

Hey @Nala2022 - today has been a start of a struggle I feel like I’ve been swallowed, trying to implement my strategies today as I’ve only just been able to log back into my forums account. I’ve got Perry close by, head is very chattery today. Gunna do things that will help me get through.

am 10 days out of ER and I’m proud of that, I’m doing the hard work.

am safe

Re: Does it ever stop

I’m sorry today has started off feeling so heavy and overwhelming.

It’s really positive that you’re already noticing what helps and trying to lean into your strategies, even while things feel difficult. And being 10 days out of ER is a really meaningful achievement, I can hear how much effort that’s taken from you.

I’m glad you’ve got Perry close by and that you’re focusing on getting through things in your own way today.

We’re here with you @Fluttershy1

@Nala2022 - ER doesn’t help, I gotta cope on my own, they just tell me I’m attention seeking, so I’m like no I gotta cope my own way, I can get through this. Even though it can be hard.

tears are just there, Perry is being my best support, I have a support worker this arvo and seeing my recovery coach aswell today.

will finish my diamond art that I’ve been doing for 3 weeks.
