How do I model space charge by charged particles

Hello!
I am trying to simulate trajectories of charged particles under electric field.
As charged particles travel in the space, they leave space charge density.
This space charge density alters electric field (or potential) and therefore the motion of charged particles is affected.
I can compute electric field (or potential) by solving Poisson's equation.
The trajectories can be obtained in Particle Tracing at Postprocessor.
However, these trajectories do not make space charge...
How can I feedback the space charge into Poisson's equation and do particle tracing?
Thanks,
Starry
