thanks Deli,

somthing just made me feel isolated and alone- like the kid thats left out when everyone else is playing - fed back to my childhood I think and how i felt about myself then and I guess now .....and ping! tears running down my face .... not really crying though - still not quite human lol

just feeling like I dont belong anywhere - a ship without anchor drifting.... no home port... no crew - no direction - prob just more about losing T and so being easier to trigger.....

This little trigger holds the real feelings that you had as a child. A little grieving in order here? As the others have said, you are very special to us so there are other truths going on here as well! You are very wise to tie this in to losing T recently. These are your feelings, can you make friends with them?

First off FEEL BETTER DARN IT! ~hugs~ with the others. You have made ME feel welcomed and included here and I appreciate it more then you know. You sure do seem like the ring leader!
Here if you want to vent, can wipe away those ~non~tears or if you need someone blown up...I know a guy.... Think about how far you have come! You have good friends that CARE!

((((safe hug))))) I'm sorry you were triggered. And yes, tears running down your face without any sobbing does constitute crying... some aspect of yourself was definitely crying. I'm glad you are figuring it out...

If you aren't sure what has caused the triggering... try and keep track as soon as you can after being triggered and make note (maybe even write it down?) of what music was playing, what you were thinking, where you were, even what you were wearing etc... the more detail the more you can find your triggers. Once you find them, you can avoid them as much as possible until you work on them. Breathe.

Nights are always the hardest IMO, why do those monsters come out once the lights go out? Why does the dark no matter where you are bring back the fear & pain, the memories? It sucks!

You are probably letting out years of sadness? Allow yourself to grieve and it will pass. Keep up your self care and don't forget to reach out and receive support.........

It's stress induced I'm pretty sure. It's a form of dissociation at the least, since you ARE doing something not just zoning out and standing there dazed.

Be gentle with yourself. Try to limit your exposure to things that trigger you, or demand more of you. You might confide in a friendly co-worker that "if" you seem a bit foggy for them to ask you how you are or to say something (this will help you ground yourself.)

And do go over the ways to ground yourself when feeling this way. I'm pretty sure there's a sticky post on them.
