Yesterday, a coworker commented, "Thank god the week is over."

My reaction was surprise and disbelief. What does she mean, the week is over? It's not over. I have to get through the rest of that day and all of Saturday and Sunday making sure I stay busy enough so I don't think about food and eat too much.

So my week is NOT over and I can't relax like my coworkers can.

Thank you, kaliope. I wouldn't say that I was triggered. I just thought this comment, which must have seemed so normal to her, was so odd to me. But it didn't bother me the way that really big triggers do.
And while I was annoyed, it was mostly at myself, because if I had better self-control, I could enjoy my weekends.

PS. Your paintings are awesome.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
