Hi Everyone,
this is a bit of a strange post.... I just tried out the live chat thing that comes up at the top of the screen - it's the 2nd time ive tried to partiipate and both times I have got triggered - here's the strange thing - I wasn't triggered by what was said ... this sounds sooooo stupid.... I was triggered by the fact that I didnt know who was going to come in  - I didnt know who was outside - couldnt see them... well der! it's chat you can't see them!  and people would just appear.... and be gone - it felt like i was out in the open with nowhere to hide - guess it touched my fear of people coming at me when i havnt seen them - difficult to explain - first time i put it down to nerves but this time it was worse - sigh....... guess some of us just arnt meant to chat!

Hey phoenix, I hope I didn't cause anything towards your trigger, and I apologize if I did when talking to you.
 I also wanted to say that I kind of feel the way you feel, I too was panicky in there, maybe because it was my second time too, I don't even know what triggers some sort of panick attack.. With me..I think it's because I tend to overlook my writing and what i'm saying and by the time I'm happy with what I wrote or comfortable the conversation is probably over and done with lol..so I end up seeming really quiet..and then blurting out a whole bunch in like one paragraph.. I found when new people joined I also felt hesitant..I don't know..It's weird. I guess some of us just aren't meant to chat, you're right lol. |

no StephanieDv if anything you were the one that was keeping me calm by keeping in the conversation - so thanks for that
i've been triggered a few times in the last couple of days - got triggered by a lift of all things - twice !  so maybe it was just going to happen - who knows not me! - my T says I get triggered more when I'm tired and I have been very tired so that's probably it! drat! T right again! I told her "dont you ever get tired of being right" and she sort of smiled and said "no" LOL funny, this morning I was feeling disconnected - wishing I had emotions - now I wish they would shut down LOL  never satisfied

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