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 that's good sweet. It's dark in my room but I can see my phone, my ear buds case, the fan on my ceiling and my pillow.

Can you hear any sounds?

Also just a heads up that I'm dozing off so if I don't reply that's why. I'm trying to stay awake with you though sweet.

@Fluttershy1 that's great sweet. I can hear crickets outside, Casper breathing and my heart pounding.

Are you watching something on TV?

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 i can imagine it would be annoying to keep coughing sweet. Did you get your results back?

Have you got anything on tomorrow?

Re: Does it ever stop

@Fluttershy1 that's a crappy combo. Hope you get better soon sweet ❤️.

Avoiding the ER would definitely be good if you can, but if it's needed then that's ok. I'll be around tomorrow to chat so you're welcome to tag me anytime ☺️.

@Fluttershy1 i hear your sweet. But I think you are wonderful just the way you are, it's just a matter of being able to find the right support to help manage things whilst they are hard. Be gentle with yourself sweet ❤️.
