Sexual Assault Triggered By This Whole Trump Thing

[agirls]

Is anyone else feeling triggered by all of the coverage of Donald Trump and his sexual assault comments? I was doing really well lately and this week was the week I was starting to reduce my therapy sessions to every other week. Now I don't know if I can. I'm a jittery mess.

Yup, yup, yup. I started a thread called Triggered by Trump. It's down in the Miscellaneous section of Other Traumas and Stressors. Bunches of members have written in there already. You are totally welcome to join in. Take care and limit your exposure to the creature. :-)

hi.yes, I'm having a hard time with it. last night was nothing but nightmares.

I'm so sorry, Muttly. I completely understand. Just as I said to agirls, I started a thread the other night called Triggered by Trump. Lots of members have written in there, so I would encourage both of you to read and write in there as having two threads on the same subject can be confusing. :-). Only four more weeks. We'll get through this.

I keep meaning to come back here and post but then I feel like I need to reply to everyone individually and I get overwhelmed.

I'm so sorry, Muttly. I completely understand. Just as I said to agirls, I started a thread the other nig...

Honestly, there have been things in that thread that have triggered me. I was thinking this would be more me processing through what it's stirred up in my brain and less about trump. If that's a problem, I can stop and let this thread can die.

No worries, Muttly :hug:, if that's okay.

 

[Muttly]

No worries, Muttly :hug:, if that's okay.

and then I was in the wrong thread anyway. sorry. I'm an idiot.

 

[hodge]

@Muttly, you are NOT an idiot. No apology necessary!! You do whatever you need to take care of yourself, honey. So many of us are going through a horrible time with this whole thing. Please be kind to yourself and try to practice extra special self-care at this time.
