So I got triggered again this morning from someone's post here but I lay down for awhile and calmed down. I get triggered by specific words people use, momentarily thinking there's a double meaning to what they are saying. (I know that is a classic schizophrenic symptom.) Then I try to put "blinders" on and assure myself it's not real. If it causes anxiety, I use DBT to calm down. I'm talking about all this with my T and pdoc and we have been adjusting my meds accordingly. (Although the increased meds are mucking with my self care.)

The vet has increased my dog's anti-anxiety meds to help with her nuisance barking and it's helping so far although she continues to get me up early, demanding her morning apples.

Despite getting triggered this morning, I'm feeling good about it being Friday. Friday always perks me up. My sister with be coming over this afternoon and we will order dinner and watch the new The Conjuring movie. I really look forward to visiting with her.

Hope you all have a peaceful day.
