Hey fern, I get triggered too by some of the things you mention, which I also love. I like the idea of working them back into your (and my) life, but maybe with less intensity. My brain does crave stimulation and higher thought. I find practical chores (and very mundane conversations with ''normal'' people, especially those who are also very lacking in empathy and judgmental ) very triggering and also I dislike them grrr (who doesn't sometimes I guess... my dislike is extreme though and related to trauma grrr)
