Triggers

I just completed a level 2 mental awareness course… the last unit was very triggering for me. Complex post traumatic stress disorder… I was diagnosed with this 3 years ago. I’m 48 and have struggled my whole life with mental health… all stemming from childhood trauma.
Knowledge is power.. I have a better understanding of myself now I’ve been diagnosed… however, it doesn’t change the symptoms #CPTSD #PTS #PTSD

Coping with the Stress and Anxiety of the Season

As humans, we live in seasons and times, all of which have corresponding ramifications for the physical, emotional, social, economic, and spiritual well-being of individuals, families, communities, and society as a whole. So how does one respond or adjust to dynamics and changes taking place within and around?

As we approach the end of the year, the festive seasons of thanksgiving, Christmas, and the new year are upon us. They are times of joyful celebrations that bring families and friends together. Unfortunately, the period can also be stressful due to the following reasons:

1. People may experience loneliness due to the loss of loved ones. Loneliness may result from losing a relationship through divorce or strained relationships. The results may be grief and sadness. Those affected will need to seek emotional and spiritual support.

2. Tension in family relationships due to sibling rivalry, unwelcome in-laws, political, ideological, or social affiliations. Family members must be sensitive to the feelings of others. This sensitivity will require self-awareness and supervision that encourages respect for others.

3. Financial demands to meet the season's needs like buying gifts, traveling, cooking, and hosting dinner parties. Inability to cope with the requests can be interpreted as stinginess, non conforming, which may attract scorn, shame, or humiliation. Be contented with what you have and avoid going into debt which can worsen your burden. Be realistic about what you can or cannot do and let your loved ones understand your limitations.

4. Poor self-management and temptation to fit in may exacerbate mental health conditions. If you struggle with a feeling of isolation, find some healthy exercises to do or attend a community event. Be self-affirming and positive in your outlook. Live well, eat healthily and stay strong. You will not sink, but you will sing!

Faced with the pressure of life, remember to pray the serenity prayer "God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

This simple solution is being enjoyed by thousands of women and men across the country to “disappear” the dark cloud of stress and anxiety hanging over their heads. For more info => bit.ly/3Fu9XhV

Erythromelalgia & Hope #Erythromelalgia #ChronicPain #PTS D

My youngest son passed away in April, and I recently published an article on the confluence of his death, my #chronicillness, erythromelalgia, and PTSD. It is hopeful but realistic. Trigger warning: the first paragraph is very brutal. I'd welcome your thoughts on it. Thank you! medium.com/disability-acts/a-chronically-ambiguous-hope-ecb0a6e946c8

Just wondering if anyone else has dissociated during yet another stressful event that overwhelming emotions trigger as a way to cope. #dissociate #PTS

I am a mother and have missed too much of raising my now 2 young adult daughters and wasnt emotionally available for them. I cant let it happen again. My child hood and half my motherhood journey is now blacked out. Only flashbacks to go on...
