Running

@avant-garde very good plan - was gonna ask you if you wanted to do something along those lines. Even with perfectly good rapport, triggers don't always care, and might be best to just eliminate the risk entirely.

@Jynx

They're just final year students needing to get experience so they do outreach to local places to benefit the community and have a supervisor. They typically do 5 weeks and then there's a new group.

There's 1 at the moment who is going to be with us until she's finished the semester, she's the one I get along with, she's really very good and super helpful and accommodating.

@avant-garde sorry I got slammed hun - we can chat on this more tomorrow if you like

*last hug for the road*

@Jynx

got home

brief seizure

@avant-garde 🫂🫂

upon arriving home you mean? How are you now?

@Jynx

Yep

I have all these triggers swimming around in my head that need my attention

@avant-garde how do you choose which will get your attention first?

(@avant-garde do let me know if you'd prefer to talk about other things ofc hun)

I was at my Thursday community group and I hit a nerve with a number of members and got verbally assaulted about my attitude.

The berating itself was the trigger, to be verbally assaulted on a comment was not unfamiliar for me...

@Jynx

@avant-garde that is deeply unfair, and the trigger is very understandable. You ought to be able to simply express an opinion without being berated for doing so. Especially when it's a reasonable, thought out argument. It's not like you're out here just telling other people they're wrong, simply presenting your thoughts, no?

Ugh, so sorry you copped that.
