Freaky Monday

I guess part of this forum will be to establish "trigger" words or whatever....this can be a problem for lots of folks. For me Monday was a bit special. I had an outpatients appointment because of some woman's business. Now this always is a problem for me so I took a trusty pill for super anxiety. It was not too bad, thankfully the nurse was wonderful. It messed up my day but...my mind sort of has a glissade of memories...none good . I thought this was all finished with, but no.....drat!

Re: Freaky Monday

hi nab, good on you for jumping in first here. 'glissade' is a great word, i look forward to using it myself soon! I know what you mean about that slippery slope of negative memories and thoughts ..... distracting yourself with making a list of positive ones can be a good way to fight back against them. Easier said than done, but worth a go 🙂

Re: Freaky Monday

Hey Neb,

 

It sounds like you did what you could to prepare yourself & good on your for being so brave! Just being aware of what triggers you & what impact it has, is really helpful.

 

Have you been looking after yourself today after yesterday being messed up?
