Feeling lonely? I try to get one of my kids to watch tv with me or grab my cat and love on her.
Being truely alone? This one is the worst for me. Being alone for too long can cause me to have an episode. I am never alone too much because I can not be.
Having no motivation? I try to push myself to do atleast one small thing a day. Even if that is only gettting in the shower some days that is an accomplishment for me. I try not to expect to much from myself anymore
.
Battling to find a purpose beyond surviving the day? This one is hard to because I often feel like just giving up, i feel so below what I know I am or atleast what I was before I became ill.
Feeling like you are being deserted or avoided This is a definate trigger for me.
Feeling overwhelmed? Another big trigger for an episode, I often get overwhelmed over hardly nothing. Having to clean the kitchen and do laundry. Normal daily things overwhelm me. I can get so upset that I throw myself into an episode.
I dont really have great coping skills in any of these areas. Sorry if I was of no help. just thought I would reply.
