Well I got triggered whilst I was daydreaming
during a bible study.
my friend was crying because none of her clothes
fitted her. We are the same age. It was menopause.
Well I feel a bit mean because my mind was saying
what about if she had to deal with the things I relentlessly
deal with. (I suppose I was crying oh poor me in my mind)
I looked at another person in bible study who doesn't believe
me about being abused at 3 years old. I know of others much
younger than that...she is an old lady who always expresses
' you could never experience anything as bad as I've been
through' (like the old Monty Python joke...) thus the daydreaming.
It's the same as ppl who think you could never remember
something from that young in your childhood.
The trauma is always not being believed.
But in essence I was doing the same as the non believer
at not empathising with my friend for not fitting in her
clothes...???
