I Realize That I

I realize that I still battle with being over reactive when I feel cornered or someone is offended with me. I really need to work on giving myself a time out so I can respond with an a appropriate and rational and calm non defensive response. I have come a long way, ut mabe I will always struggle with this one and just need to be kind to myself as I learn and grow.
 
I realize that I must be missing some kind of warning signs in my body that I'm saying too much when I talk about my traumas. Sometimes I can talk about them matter of factly and I'll be thinking that I'm ok but then later I'll feel anxious and really hypervigilant and triggered.

I realize that I know I don't like crying but it seems to be very important to cry because I guess it lets some of the pain out.
 
I realize that I've been triggered since last night. And I realize that someone inadvertently triggered me even more this morning. And I realize that I spent the whole day reacting to that person as if they were one of the people who abused me. I realize that when I start reacting to people as if they're one of my abusers that means that's one of the indications that I'm having an emotional flashback. I realize that means that I've been having emotional flashbacks off and on all day. I realize that I'm emotionally exhausted.
