I started keeping a trigger journal by texting myself regularly throughout the day. After I recovered from the laundry incident, I looked through my texts to myself and found 2 possible triggers from hours earlier. It works for me better than a pen and paper. The only time I can't find 30 seconds to send myself a quick text is when I'm driving. But I couldn't use a pen and paper then either.
I hope you find something that works for you to track triggers. **hugs**
Thank you! I appreciate this. Its so hard! Im trying, some days are better than others. I just want it all to stop sometimes.

I didn't even think about using my phone. I use that as a distraction device mostly, which isn't always good.

HUGS!
