My Therapist has asked me track what triggers me, but I'm having a hard time managing it. I feel like I'm stuck in a depression cycle right now, which makes everything really hard.

I'm currently just noting it down with date and time, but sometimes I don't always have pen and paper. I also struggle with knowing at the time if its going to trigger me later in the day.

Is this normal? This is all new to me and I feel like I'm drowning.

My husband got irritated at the dog, like he's done many times before, but it triggered my PTSD response and put me on high alert. This was super unsettling and I really don't know how to handle it.
