I am very triggered right now.

I quit smoking cigs over a week ago and am learning how to cope with triggers without smoking. Deep breathing helps. But I am triggered.

Other people's opinions are just that - an opinion, not fact. I am choosing to completely ignore someone's opinion that triggered me into a state of emotional upset. It rocked me for a bit, but I am Ok and I know that I can easily just dismiss this issue and go about my life.

However, I am dealing with SO much right now and am just trying to hold it together and function at work.

Triggers are tough to deal with. I am not drinking much these days either. One way I am coping is to smoke some herb at the end of my work day. Is that so bad?
