are the worst thing on the planet (even worse than bees, and I'm alergic to those)

gloves cause me so much trauma even when I'm not around them

Possible trigger:


even when I'm not around them, they cause me horrible pain, I keep imagineing random weird looking people going round with the gloves on

Possible trigger:


I just wish I didn't have this

it's so hard and I hate it. why can't I just see them for what they are, basically hand protectors (yes I know they caused me trauma,) but they are gloves, that's all, gloves

am I being too hard on myself?

I don't know.. I just wish gloves were banned and I never had to see another ****ing glove for as long as I live.

thanks for letting me vent

I get freaked out over rectangle school pizza. Not only is it bad tasting, but brings up hugely painful past memories that even writing this sends me a bit unsteady. Cheating gf, people threatening to kill me, people telling me to go kill myself, being ostracized for being different, wanting to kill myself. It's never ending.
I don't know how, but we need to figure out how to get past our triggers. Sorry that you had a rough time of it. But you can talk about more of it here if needed. My therapist says he can help me with some of these triggers, but hasn't yet.

I still haven't gotten past my triggers, either. Currently in EMDR therapy, which is supposed to help. We'll see. What I currently do, when triggered, is use a mantra, of sorts: "this isn't that". As in, "this" which I'm experiencing, isn't "that" which is causing me to react this way. Repeating it over and over and over. It helps me stop freaking, somewhat. Helps me lower my...adrenaline rush, I guess is the best way to phrase it. Doesn't stop my reaction - but helps me cope with my reaction. I know, it's kinda like a bandaid over a gaping wound - but, it helps a little, until I find a better way.
