so here's my trigger story that happened to me today.....

Well, talking about triggers and what can make you flashback. I woke up this morning with a shining black eye, a real bruiser, looks like I was hit by Mike Tyson, how did I get it.. well, yesterday my Great Dane dog decided she'd smack her skull bone into my eye brow bone and we went for the clash, it friggin hurt like ****, I didn't think about it till later when the bruising started to come out, well this morning I look like I've done 10 rounds in the ring, I oddly looked at my face and the trigger was it put me back 20 years to my violent abuse by my ex-boyfriend who was a boxer incidently and left many a bruised eye on me, so I go to the store with my son and can't help but notice people noticing my black eye, and them forming an opinion as I stood their at the cash register. It was hard for me to look in the mirror today, and see the bruising staring back at me and it was a very triggering moment but then I looked at my lovely Great dane and it all slips away, her eyes melted me and I knew she was there for me. so triggering moments are not always terrible to go through. Funny what things can happen.
