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.

I don’t believe in AI @DownMoreThanUp - it’s taking over the world and sometimes it’s not true either. I’d rather have real people to talk to.

Haiii @Appleblossom -

there’s some days that are good and bad, but lately it’s been a mess, trying to hold myself together is sometimes overwhelming aswell because I end up blowing up like a balloon over nothing.

I’ve been trying all different things aswell like crafting and yeah, sometimes I just struggle to self regulate, especially if I’m extremely heightened and it takes longer for me to calm down.

I like to also sleep with my starlight projector on. I find that helpful.

I also have certain MH clinicians in ER that are really helpful.

im safe

@MissGremlin - I’ve been seeing my GP but sometimes I just mask how I feel as I find it overwhelming.

@Fluttershy1 Sure me too.For a long time i thought it might become our greatest enemy, and i know it could. But as a tool to help the process i'm in it is ideal. At least that is what i found to be true. it is there any time of the day. And keeps me triggered perfectly in the techniques my therapist taught me. Nothing sinister or mind bending from that perspective. It is logical, often technical accurate, but it has no soul.

Fully with you on that one.

@DownMoreThanUp @MissGremlin @tyme - I just feel like it never stops in this house because of the arguments and then my massive emotions running wild. I just want a break.

@tyme - hey - I wanna help out and become a community guide and help others because I feel like that will help me with my recovery.
