Does anyone else get triggered by just thinking about their family? I was just reminded today that we have a family dinner on Christmas eve and suddenly I just feel really nervous and like I want to cry. I'm not usually this emotional and I don't cry very often. I don't know why it's scaring me so much. I told myself that I could skip it if I want to but even skipping it makes me so afraid because I know they will get angry and I'm afraid of them getting angry and saying all these things about me. If just thinking about it makes me this anxious, how am I supposed to actually go for it? The strange thing is that the person who did it to me isn't even going to be at the dinner but I'm still so afraid of everyone else. Is this normal??
