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

I’m sorry this has happened, particularly when you were prepared and ready for the visit. It makes sense you’d feel overwhelmed and want to react strongly right now. Any chance they can send someone else, or do you usually have the same support worker?

Try to take things moment by moment if you can @Fluttershy1

Re: Does it ever stop

What you're feeling is valid @Fluttershy1, I'd be upset too if this kept happening, it's not okay. I'm glad you have Perry and Nova with you 💛

Re: Does it ever stop

That’s really cute 😄 Nova sounds like she’s keeping you busy

It is really hard when you can’t quite get warm enough, especially on days like today @Fluttershy1
