Thank you all for your concern and for writing back with so many ideas. Babblechat last night helped a lot. Distraction is good. helped me to pull my mind out of the dark stuff. And for future reference, the cocktails were NOT helping. not a good idea at all. Alcohol is a depressant indeed.
I think I'm safe right now. I'm pretending like it's a normal morning and I don't want to think of the trigger.
I'm just a little slower today than usual. The RhinoVirus is on its last legs. Soon I will be over it.
If only psychological ills could follow such a predictable pattern. First I sneeze, then my throat hurts, then my nose runs, then I cough my brains out.
First I'm triggered. then I feel scared. then I remember that I'm not supposed to tell anybody then I remember that telling somebody helps the hurt go away. then I get scared of telling a secret then I try to talk my way out of it. never happened to me. no way. then I'm triggered again. repeat as many times as there are triggers. Throw in some bad dreams and maybe some depressive, self-destructive, dissociative feelings.
bake at 450 until charred crispy.
