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 So sorry you back on your own in such a state. You okay?

@creative_writer Sorry you are under the weather as well.

i have been too, really badly even, but been climbing out the last 90 minutes or so. The nausea is subsiding at least as is the depression.

Hang in will you? It is a crappy place down there i know that.

@creative_writer Thanks it does really help release tension. As long as we do not let the sadness drag us down. i have really learned to appreciate my tears, each one of them is truly hard earned!

When The Down Turns Ugly

When the downrush comes like weather in the bones,
and thought turns heavy, slow, and tight,
don’t wrestle it into silence
let it pass like water through held hands.

Nothing here is permanent in its shape,
not the weight, not the noise, not the ache.
It rises, it peaks, it loosens its grip
the way storms forget the sky they take.

Breathe as if you are borrowing calm,
not forcing it, not demanding it stay.
Just one breath, then another,
until the moment starts to drift away.

And if all you can do is stay here
then staying is enough for now.

You matter. You pain matters surving it.

@DownMoreThanUp @Invi @MissGremlin - I don’t really have much to distract and calm me down, but got all I know is the night staff member that I don’t like is on overnight so I just wanna hurry on up outa here. Because I will just turn tables if I see her. I’d rather be home than seeing her if I’m honest.
