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 daylight savings messes with me too but I prefer when it gets darker earlier.

Re: Does it ever stop

Hello@Fluttershy1 sweet, having a busy mind is tough. Have you got an activity that you can do to help keep distracted?

Re: Does it ever stop

hey @Fluttershy1 sounds like there's a lot going through your mind atm, what usually helps it slow down? i like @MissGremlin's idea of an activity - is there something you can do from your bed?

@rav3n - I was thinking about my diamond art but then I gotta move to the floor and it’s cold here. But then I’m like it might be good for the nervous system. Or I might watch a movie!

did you see the Movie recommendations thread?
