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.

@MissGremlin @MatchaToad @Jynx @tyme @rav3n @RiverSeal - 72 hours without sleep. How damn lovely.

I feel like this is like a roller coaster. I just can’t shut my head off. It’s overwhelming.

im safe

@Fluttershy1

72 hours is an incredibly long time to be awake. At that level of exhaustion you're at, the brain just doesn't have the fuel to regulate those big emotions you're experiencing 💚

I’m so glad you’re safe and tucked under the covers. Sometimes, hiding and gently rocking ourselves is exactly what the nervous system needs when the world feels too loud and overwhelming.

Please don't feel any pressure to reply to this. I just wanted to let you know I'm sitting here with you in the quiet.

Sending you so much stillness and care 💚
