Hi. I'm having a really bad time tonight so i thought i'd post about it. I hope you don't mind.

Basically my day was going fine, until i triggered myself. I don't do it on purpose, well i do but subconciously if you see what i mean. For instance, i know certain aspects of the news can trigger me, therefore i refrain from reading newspapers or watching it on tv. But sometimes i just wonder on to news websites and trigger myself accidentally.

I don't understand why news triggers me, it has nothing (as far as i can tell) to do with the causes of my depression. I think i should go to see a counsellor, maybe they can help me better understand.

It's getting stupid now, more and more things are triggering me, i lock myself away in my bedroom if i am not at work to 'protect' myself from getting triggered. but then i get triggered from the internet.

Anyways, thanks for listening.
