Sexual Assault getting triggered randomly

[Theasylumsystem]

Been getting triggered pretty easily lately. My job really cracks down on the night shift (my shift), so now I'm anxious every day going to work. I keep getting flashbacks of my ex abusing me and I've been dealing with suicidal thoughts again. I'm just so tired of this cycle. I do good for a while just to turn around and do shit too.

It really is a draining cycle. Sorry you are in it at the moment.

What usually helps to manage this?

Sometimes helping to build in some agency can help.

It's hard, because stress can trigger PTSD symptoms. The cycle is exhausting, but it can change over time. I know that thought can be hard to hold on to during the difficult times.
