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.

@Fluttershy1 maybe it's something you could talk to them about sweet. Sometimes people do things with good intentions but don't realise that they may have affected us in another way.

Re: Does it ever stop

I am so sorry to hear you are feeling this way, that must be so vulnerable for you... I can hear that support would be so helpful right now. What do you feel like would be the best possible support for you tonight? @Fluttershy1 🫶

And awww you're both so lucky to have each other! @MissGremlin 🥰

I understand what you mean... what are you sensing you need most right now?

@MissGremlin - I’ve tried so many times, I’m just at the point of giving up with them now, I might get my support coordinator to say something

Re: Does it ever stop

I don’t even know @AuntGlow - I’m just taking it hour by hour, the lovely @MissGremlin, is a big help aswell, I just dislike when people cancel last minute.

I’ve been laying on the floor with nova, she keeps chirping at me. I’m gunna hop in bed soon with Perry and probably watch Netflix till I fall asleep.

it’s just helpful being here with people that understand.

Re: Does it ever stop

Hour by hour is more than enough right now @Fluttershy1 🫶

The lovely @MissGremlin IS a big help. 😍 (so are you!)

That sounds really cozy - I think I might do the same. What will you watch??

This is really great awareness; being with people here helps you to feel better - that's so wonderful to hear and know that you're following through with your intention to connect when things are feeling tough. That's a big win in my books. 🥰

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 getting your support coordinator to say something sounds like a good idea especially if you've already tried many times.

Re: Does it ever stop

@AuntGlow i just finished writing a poem to try to get things out.

As for what I'm needing though, I'm not quite sure. Maybe for right now it's just connection.

Not sure yet @AuntGlow - the forums help me a lot, I tend to spend a lot of time here.
