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.

Probably will go out @MissGremlin - or stay home and colour in and watch movie.

Re: Does it ever stop

I’ve taken them @MissGremlin - but my head is anxious, ruminating thoughts. It’s starting to upset me. Am safe, got Perry.

Nova has just came to my bed and is playing with my feet 😂 @MissGremlin - I’m like it’s sleep time, she will eventually wear herself out. I’ve got Perry, snuggled in bed. Hopefully will dose off eventually am safe

@Fluttershy1 haha cheeky Nova. I'm glad you're snuggled in bed with Perry sweet. I'm hoping you can get some sleep soon. I'm so proud of you for how well you've been coping sweet, i know things have been harder tonight but you're still doing so well to manage things and use your skills.

@MissGremlin - nearly 4 weeks since I’ve been to ER. So I’m proud.
