I had to let her go - to triggering

[Boatsetsailrose]

Last Saturday I went into emotional flashback and I'm still in it - 1 week later

She made judgement about me and smaller judgements and bam sent into the turbulent world of complex ef -
This week any judgement / opinion from others has just increased it

My symptoms
Racing heart
Paranoid
Want to isolate
Low mood
Anxiety / fear
Dread
Terror re others triggering me

Help please !!!

I let the 'friendship go yesterday - I can't be around judgemental - lack of middle ground people
I'm noticing I get attracted to sickly nice and narcissistic people ---

much support to you, Boatssr, you have done the right thing, protecting yourself. 

it is hard to manage the flashbacks, isn't it? but don't forget you're feeling all these feelings at super-strength at the moment,  and though it's hard, you are handling it sensibly and well. so respect!

know what you mean about attracting toxic types, though, i am the same!     we're learning, hopefully!     look after yourself with kindness, dear heart!
