Thanks for everyone's support with my last post. It has been kind of a rough week. I was feeling overwhelmed and quite depressed after that difficult conversation with my boyfriend, then I had a couple of rough days at work. Then I started reading this book for a grief and loss class for my master's program. It is an incredibly intense story about this woman's grief process after her husband dies... the book describes her suicide attempt and her process of coming to terms with her childhood abuse. The book has been quite triggering for me... I only got an hour of sleep on Wednesday night, after reading the first half... and was up all night with racing thoughts. I called my therapist and talked with him on Thursday, which was helpful. I need to finish the book, but have been putting it off for obvious reasons.

Any thoughts on dealing with things that you need to deal with, but that you suspect will be triggering?
