Not Coping

I definitely agree. I listen to so many sad songs to feel comfort @tyme.

I don't think I am creative enough to do that.

oh no, I'm sorry @Kyle1

What will you do?

what will I do?...

I just don't know...

Torch my adrenals I reckon

Oh that's probably not a good idea @Kyle1

Lol @Kyle1 - good on you for getting out this morning! As for you job today, maybe just expect the unexpected so you won't be disappointed?

@Birdofparadise8 , do you have to work today? Also, I don't think writing your own lyrics needs creative. It's a form of self-expression and no one needs to read it. It is moreso something you are writing to yourself to encourage you rather than creating a bigger 'pity party'?

Yes I start at 4:30, and I don't know how I'll go I feel so sad and everything right now.

I was triggered yesterday again @tyme

I was meaning to send you this last night @Birdofparadise8

It's kind of the opposite of daylight in a way, but same...? You might have heard it

Sorry to hear you were triggered @Birdofparadise8 .

Thinking about it logically, did you allow yourself to continually be triggered, or did you do something to mitigate it? e.g. deep breathing.

For example, I know one of my triggers is ambulance esp ones with sirens on. As soon as I see one, I immediately start taking deep breaths and count in order to bring down my heart rate. It doesn't mean the trigger isn't there, but I am definitely less affected. There was a time I really wanted to get over the trigger so I played and watched ambulance (Paramedics) series for several hours each day. I honestly did get over it... then after a while, I stopped watching it because it was getting too boring, and so the trigger has returned (to a certain extent).

So what I'm saying is that where you are working, know you WILL be triggered. So now it's about what you do with the triggers and how to mitigate them.

Just go into work knowing you WILL be triggered. What will you do then?

Avoidance is not recovery.

Hi @tyme

Yeah I’ll probably just try some more deep breathing. I’ll ask my psych when I see her next week as well. Though yesterday being triggered wasn’t as bad as Wednesday.

Though today I’m not feel good at all but I’ll just have to push through @tyme
