Triggering Stuff is Everywhere

Fight symptoms and to not have a dissociative slip. Over four months now without one.Sometimes we just sit in  n empty room and focus on being the only one there. Focus on tangible things. The quilt on the bed. Touching the sheets on the bed. Looking in the closet and in the bathroom. Standing up against the wall with your legs spread. Nobody's there. You have to focus a huge amount of energy on that. At times it's like a video signal trying to get thru. But nothing's there.

You have to fight back.

No. But you can't let your guard down. By the end of the day you're totally wiped out. But what choice do you have? Stay well.

Exhaustion

Another night of almost no sleep at all. You try to fall asleep, but then almost every hour on the hour you wake up. You try to get out of bed and feel like you got hit by a car. Add to that nightmares. Then, you struggle thru the rest of the day trying to not black out from exhaustion and dissociating. What choice do you have?

Then rest for 20 minutes. What else can you do?
