Hi everyone,

I was just kinda of curious if anyone else has a few triggers that just come out of the blue. I mean the ones that come out of left field.

I was doing so good today, well pretty much over the past few days. But over the past few hours it has been a down hill slide.
I had the television on, not really watching it just had it on for the racket I guess. I can't have things to quit. Well I just overhead something that my ex used to say to me. It used to make me laugh all the time when she said, but not anymore.

At first I felt a huge wave of anger, then a great saddness. Not really sure what is going on, I'll have to take it up with my doctor and therapist tomorrow.

Thanks guys,

Dante~

Hey Dante, I've had those types of triggers before. They just come out of the blue. With me I don't even realize it's a trigger necessarily until it happens. Kind of bizarre. Anyway, you're not alone with having those types of triggers =)

I don't know Dante - that doesn't sound that out of the blue. I mean - when you spend time with someone you form a bond. I can get out of whack watching overly sad or happy DISNEY movies, for pete's sake. In fact when I feel my "mood" coming on it sure doesn't take a heck of a lot - but then I'm not on meds, so maybe that's the difference. Usually for me it starts with a little thought - maybe a sad or happy thought about my family- then I think another thought maybe even more sad and it goes on like that. It doesn't feel good to feel that out of control of your emotions - I will give you that!

Hang in there. I hope your therapist has some good strategies to help you! I'll be thinking of you, buddy!

Thanks everyone,

It was just kind of strange. There are still some things here that belong to her, but those don't really make me feel bad. I can go places we went to, and that dosen't make me feel bad.

Just couldn't understand why what I heard would.

sometimes little comments people make or the tone of a voice can be a trigger for me. Nothing quite like a phrase that i remember from the past. or not specifically anyway.
