This is an ongoing problem for me. I know I cannot avoid all triggers (sometimes I have no idea why a particular thing even triggers me at all), but it is (still) such a disorienting experience.
I didn't even know I got triggered until maybe about a year ago. (The PTSD has been a slow learn). I figured it was just my troublesome, weirdly-wired self, some murky aspect of my depression. But clarity is dawning, and more and more I am able to identify when I've been triggered. The problem is: how do I take care of myself in and around that moment?
Still new at this ... would love to hear what's worked with others.
Many thanks,
