5 Things I'm Thinking Today

[Tinyflame]

1. When we say we are triggered.. what do we truly mean, other than arousal & response? I always thought triggers = whatever we felt 'then', but I either felt much the same, or triggers are causing momentary primarily fear & depression mostly only. The cognitive thoughts I put to them, that may be the distortion. But the feeling may start in response virtually automatically (ie in response to the trigger).
2. In other words, maybe eg atypical depression, SI etc, is sometimes the response to a trigger? And triggers can be insidious.
3. In other words.. when someone is becoming or is 'depressed'/ feels hopeless/ despair, maybe the question should be, "what was the trigger?", vs treat the symptom =depression (or anxiety, etc).
4. Does that make sense? :O_o:
5. Hugs to all. :hug:

1. I think I feel sad that not 'getting it right'/ still having SI etc is a disappointment to myself, others, probably God I suppose too.
2. ETA Well, definitely to me, probably others. God likely infinitely patient.
3. Strange today; someone's post reminded me, come to think of it, I had a stressful start today (but of my choice, ~good stress), & yet I had an odd but pleasant dream this morning, that I actually recall.
4. Do you see yourself in your dreams/ nightmares, like watching a movie? Or do you see 'through your eyes'?

Looking around my house and seeing, rather than feeling, it's not filthy...it is clean. I always get the same feeling when visitors come.....that I'm not good enough. Childhood home was cluttered, worn out, and dirty. Felt deep shame when people visited...the feeling is totally misplaced now....replace it with what I see now!

I must be present and not disassociate.

I'm certain hormones are contributing to how I'm feeling...swapped pmt for tiredness,.....that's a fair swap! In all, I'm actually feeling better in that respect...so be happy you stupid, selfish woman!!!

Stomach is playing up this morning....Must calm myself.

Looks like it's going to be a beautiful sunny day....good! We can all sit outside and enjoy it.

@RavenGirl ...thank you for your kind words.

A phone call I was dreading turned out to be incredibly simple.
The other official stuff is being a pig though.
How come I don't have a cheque book?
I can't make my mind up whether I'm cold or sweltering today. 3 changes of clothes already.
I'm also somewhat deaf at the moment. It's a bit awkward.

1: pride prejudice and zombies: yes or no?
2: book vs. film?
3: this coffee tastes horrid. well, it was on sale for a reason.
4: in theory, if people can make birdhouses from gourds, then shouldn't i be able to carve a car from one? (compact, biofuel)
5: i found a lovely book about making little felted things from cat fur to sell...that ought to level up my crazy cat-person membership.

My back is still hurting, trying to decide if I should go to the Dr or tough it out.

I'm in a good mood today, even with the pain.

Grocery shopping with hubby, he's in a good mood today! :joyful:

The sun is out and I really love how it makes me feel.:D

Feeling content! Aaaahhhh....:inlove:

Going down to the yard sale wasn't so bad, but my two sisters bickered as predicted, people noticed
my youngest great niece stopped being pissy for once and let me play with her, happiness didn't last though
hormones have me angry at everyone today
why bother having a background in IT when people doubt what you tell them?
neighbors are starting to yuck up their side of the porch
went to bed at 7 last night and glad I did, time to shut out the world

The rollercoaster that is my life has started going down again.
I'm sick of trying to put some order in my house.
If I burn my house down, will the insurance pay?
My psychiatrist wants me to take care of myself. What a joke
I miss my husband today. We were supposed to grow old together.
