I feel so triggered *possible trigger*

[InfiniteSadness]

I just came back from family therapy and I'm feeling so bad and triggerered I don't even feel like I deserve anything anymore. I want to cut and cut and cut. Atleast that makes me feel somewhat better. Ugh I fee like drinking till I pass out... Life is just tiring, and I don't feel like going through all this emotion anymore.

I need some advice or a hug or just something.

Hey I hope you're feeling better. Did you end up cutting? Stay strong! I know you can get through this! Do you know any coping skills? My favorite one that keeps me off things after being triggered is taking 100 breaths. Literally. For each breath I take I count up from zero. By saying a number out loud or in your head you can't think about anything else. It distracts me and calms me down. Try it out :). Stay Strong! I believe in you!

Hey there,

How are you doing now?

Why do you feel triggered from your therapy? Can you talk to your therapist about how your sessions are making you triggered? the layout and topics can be changed so you feel more safe <3

As Shayde said, try using all the many suggestions out there, the breathing one is especially good for you right now to calm you down a little. I hope you're doing okay. Keep fighting. *hugs*

I didn't cut but I still feel like it.... There was just a lot of emotion and things that pulled up bad feelings. And then I think seeing my mother cry sent me over the edge of not thinking about cutting and crashing down to planning where and how etc...

Plus I had a horribly vivid dream of self harm the night before so I had already been thinking about it a lot.

Thanks for all ur replys guys <3

how are you doing now?

perhaps you could ask whether after a family session, you could have 10 or 15 min on your own with the therapist to process whatever happened...
