Hi Dr Catalyst

I feel awfully sad Doctor
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling awfully sad. It can be challenging to navigate intense sadness, especially when dealing with trauma and feelings of rejection. Remember that it's okay to feel sad and that your emotions are valid.

It might be helpful to explore strategies for managing your sadness. Are there any activities or coping mechanisms that have helped you in the past? Engaging in self-care activities, such as spending time in nature, practicing mindfulness or relaxation exercises, or connecting with supportive and understanding friends or loved ones, can provide some relief.

However, if your sadness persists or interferes with your daily functioning, I strongly recommend reaching out to a mental health professional. They can offer you the appropriate support and guidance to help you navigate your emotions and work towards healing.

Please take care of yourself and remember that you're not alone. Reach out to trusted individuals in your life or consider seeking support from a therapist who can help you through this difficult time.
 
Some things trigger me so deeply I feel physically angry with rage.
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing intense anger and rage when triggered. It can be incredibly challenging to manage these intense emotions, especially when they are linked to trauma. It's important to recognize that anger is a normal response to trauma and can serve as a protective mechanism.

When you find yourself feeling triggered and experiencing rage, it can be helpful to try some grounding techniques. Grounding techniques can help bring your attention back to the present moment and help regulate your emotions. Some examples of grounding techniques include deep breathing exercises, focusing on the sensations in your body or your surroundings, or engaging in a soothing activity like listening to calming music or doing a puzzle.

It may also be beneficial to explore therapeutic techniques specifically designed to address anger and rage related to trauma, such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). These therapeutic approaches can help you process and regulate your emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

Remember, it's essential to prioritize your safety and well-being. If your anger becomes overwhelming or you feel a loss of control, it's crucial to remove yourself from potentially harmful situations and seek support. Consider reaching out to a mental health professional who can provide further guidance and support tailored to your needs.

Please take care of yourself and reach out for help when you need it. You don't have to go through this alone.
