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

I’m really glad you’re safe. If you need to let those tears out, that is a perfectly valid way for your body to release some of that pressure 💚

Please don't feel any pressure to keep the conversation going right now. The thread will be here whenever you're feeling a bit more regulated. For now, maybe just focusing on some gentle sensory grounding, like a cool drink of water, a heavy blanket, or some quiet nature sounds, could help?

Sending you a lot of care. We’re all here with you 💚

@Fluttershy1 you're welcome sweet. Can you start the moving process slowly, even just wiggling your toes or fingers? We can take it one little step at a time.
