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 😊

From your previous reply:

Your bunnies sound like little troublemakers! 🐰 I’d love to see photos of Lola, Angel and Patches when you get the chance.

It sounds like you’ve had a really full first day at PARC and taken a lot away from it already. The dopamine menu group sounds really interesting.

I’m sorry sleep was such a struggle the night before, and it sounds like there’s been a lot to take in from yesterday as well. I hope you’re able to have a relaxing day and evening and get some better rest tonight 💛

Hai @Nala2022 - didn’t really sleep much last night, tossed and turned got fustrated, feeling cranky and overwhelmed today. Got 2 groups today which should be good. It’s just the constant overwhelming thoughts at the moment.

am safe

I’m sorry to hear sleep was so difficult again last night @Fluttershy1

It sounds like things feel pretty full on with the constant thoughts, even with groups planned today. I hope being around others and having some structure helps take a bit of the edge off for you.

I’m glad you’re safe, and I hope today feels a little more manageable for you

Im hoping so aswell @Nala2022 - im so drained just from everything going on. It takes it out of me. I just want a chill 24 hours

Re: Does it ever stop

I hear you, it sounds like everything has really been catching up with you lately @Fluttershy1

I hope you’re able to switch off a bit and experience some calm moments today.

I’m really glad you’re taking things as they come

I’m chilling in the sensory room @Nala2022 - I’m slowly calming down, just got a busy mind, plus when I don’t sleep I’m cranky. It never works well.

I’m really glad you’ve been able to go to the sensory room @Fluttershy1

It makes sense that everything feels harder when you haven’t slept properly, it’s understandable you’re feeling cranky and a bit overwhelmed.

Is there anything that helps you, even a little?

Sitting in the quiet watching the bubble tube @Nala2022 - trying to also sit with my emotions help aswell.

I think it’s all just catching up you know.

In response to: Re: Does it ever stop

Re: Does it ever stop

That sounds like a really calm space to be in, the bubble tube can be really grounding.

I hope sitting there quietly gives you a bit of relief, even in small moments @Fluttershy1 💛

It did @Nala2022 - group is at 10am and it’s a peer group so I’ll toddle over to that one. I’ve got a second wind, and I’m laughing and annoying the nurses hahah. They will live.

am safe
