Am I the only one? Should I feel bad that seeing someone like that sometimes triggers me? Most of the time I’m like “I’m glad I don’t look and embarrass myself like that” but I catch myself sometimes getting triggered by it and I hate it.

I can definitely relate. For me, at this point where I’m at, I am trying to generally stay away from anyone who would be “fucked up.” Unfortunately that means I am on my own a lot… but it’s often what’s best, for me, right now. But you’re definitely not the only one.

So I’m in a women’s and children’s program and one of the staff members here has been showing up really “tired” to the point where she is falling asleep while writing and her chin is constantly touching her chest with the office door wide open. So it’s hard to not be around it. I’m not choosing to be around someone messed up, unfortunately I have to be around it. And I don’t want to tell the other staff on her because this particular staff member is one of the best ones here that actually cares about us so I’m in a tough spot lol

Umm no. Not even close to the only one. We talk about this at meetings all the time. Drunk people are terrible to be around. It is triggering, because being drunk is the only way you can listen to them loudly slur the same story five times while spraying spit all over your face (from 2 inches away). And the story wasn’t good or funny the first time they told it. I just get away. Have an escape plan and leave.

I always think, " was I like that?", " somebody should have said something." then I remember they did and it didn't matter. Therapy helped me. It helped me realize why I kept doing this to myself, and that I didn't need to.

I have no idea. It probably has to do with the spacing, or characters. I know we have to have a filter in the app so that Apple will let us stay in the app store.
