There's a party at mine tonight that is gonna include loads of alcohol and it's gonna trigger flashbacks for me :/ gonna be stuck in my room alone and probably crying. Even when the house is safe. It makes me feel so unsafe with alcohol being around :s idk how ill cope, ill feel so alone. It starts at 6pm but the first person is coming at 5pm and it'll be happening till like 3am :/

    Hey @Rose113, it sounds like tonight is a real worry for you and I can understand how this kind of environment would make you feel anxious, particularly when it's in your own home too. <3

    When you say it's gonna trigger flashbacks for you, would you feel comfy sharing more about that with us?

    I'm sure many people will relate to feeling uneasy around alcohol and people drinking. It's not an environment that everyone enjoys. Is there anything in particular about alcohol that makes you feel unsafe?

    I'm hearing how staying in your room this evening will feel more comfy but that will also make you feel alone - could you plan some activities to do tonight to keep you busy and connected? That could be calling or facetiming a friend, watching your favourite shows, or you can also chat on here with the community. :)

    Keep us updated on how you're doing - we're here for you. <3
