I'm painfully aware of my triggers. Some revolve around the fact I have no idea how or why my life went so wrong, or what caused it to go off the rails to begin with. What I do at least think I know is that whatever caused it occurred early in my life. (I've never done much of anything in the way of therapy. And it's too late to start now.) Other triggers revolve around all of the damage I did along the way. (Although there might have been a time I could have claimed victim status, I trampled that epithet along the way.)
