Enjoying feeling triggered :s

[Konstantine]

I don't really know how to explain this, but i'll try my best.
Lately there has been a storyline on TV (eastenders) which has really triggered me. When it got to it's worst point (someone having a mental breakdown, thinking of suicide), it really triggered me. I didn't like the feeling when I thought about the character who was having a breakdown, it was really triggering, in a negative way - I felt like I was that character, i've felt like what happened to her. However, when I was watching how people were reacting "have you cut?" and all the caring, I sort of felt drawn in and in a strange way, I enjoyed watching it and got some pleasure out of it :s I don't understand why.... is this normal?

*hugs*
I watched that and yeh i did feel they way you said about the"have you cut" comment.

We all recact in our own ways hun.
i dont think its something to really worry about lots, as long as you keep yourself safe.

its normal the "have you cut" comment got me too.

I think its just watching how other react to whats happenign and putting your self there i do that and then can come way with the mood thye where feeling its strange but normal if not im with you lol

I can relate to this too. I think it's something to do with someone showing they care (I don't watch Eastenders but I've had experiences of hearing this in other situations)

I know personally my boyfriend can get quite angry if I SH but I think that's because it hurts him to see me hurting.

We are all different so I can't really speak for you.

Take Care, I'm only a PM away
