Weekends are rough for me, too. Being home is my worst trigger, so two days in a row is a challenge. What's helped me is scheduling things. Instead of running 3 errands in a row, I do one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. It makes it harder for me to get overwhelmed by my feelings. I also make sure I have a to do list of a few chores and try to follow it. I have to choose stuff that isn't too involved or I skip it!

At my T's suggestion, I recorded a relaxation exercise he did with me. So when I start to get triggered, I listen to that and it helps a ton.

You're not alone.
Thanks for this!
