Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Former-Member, and thanks for the tag because it feels good to be able to support people like I have been supported. Hope you're still on the mend. Slowly slowly, we'll get there 🙂

Re: Sleeping too much
I can vouch for that @Former-Member! It's a hefty dose of stubbornness and pig-headedness applied positively that has got me where I am today. 🎶💕

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member
I don't know if Misty's story triggered me or if it was just the funeral tomorrow and having to see TS and knowing I will do my best not to interact with her
But whatever it was - I had to turn the TV on to drown out the small planes from the flying school at the local airport - it really got under my skin and I was ready to fall in a miserable heap of back ache and irritation and feeling what an utter horrible person TS is - ahh - enough said about her
But I thought - if this is depression I would rather feel it than take medication but I don't think it's depression or anxiety - just tense and edgy - and as you know back ache can give you a hard time all by itself - and I have had my evening medication and it has yet to work
But about other people touching our triggers - there is only one way to deal with that and that is to stay only long enough to offer the helping hand and leave for a while and return when one can - I have done some work as a TC and honestly I remember very few of the conversations - hardly any in fact - as they trained us to do - we do not take on other people's suffering and I don't think I did
It has been a bad week for me since I heard my aunt had died and my other uncle is very frail - I am seriously worried about him - and being philosophical about my many elderly relatives dropping off the tree is morbildly normal - and will happen which is the price I pay for having many really wonderful uncles and their wives in my life
I know myself well enough to know I had better have everything ready for the morning before I go to bed - it will be a hard start to go out.
But triggers - honestly @Former-Member - I don't think we can avoid them - regardless of how exciting or boring our lives might be - things happen - and I am tired tonight
I understand what you are saying - and I sat here and stared at my screen for a long time before I continued - the only way to avoid triggers is to stop having contact - and that is a far worse place - I am sure
Still thinking
I don't think I am any stronger or weaker than the average person with emotional discomfort - I have lived long enough to know I will survive it - there was a time when I did not have this theory- this ethic- and forty years ago it was a different story -

Re: Sleeping too much
@Decadian..wise words..true..and even in leaving when triggered, it hurts, takes time..it's personal truths coming forth, really fast, too fast!
Just wanted to say remember not to give your energy away to TS.
Keep yourself surrounded by your own shield, an invisible golden light around your whole body.
She can't enter past it.
Short, sweet and move on, the room has to be bigger than her.
Focus on the beautiful energies, steer away from hers ❤😊
