Triggers are the things I’m learning to spot. The problem is, I think I have a lot:
- Letting down the kids
- Changing plans
- Frustrating Nigel as he helps so much
- Letting colleagues & friends down
- Not the way I do things
- Thinks not being perfect
- Something I didn’t expect
- Trying on clothes
- Photos
- Making a mistake
- Loneliness
- My mum
- Having to sleep all day because I’m tired or have headache when I know it frustrates others
- Forgetting something
- Feeling judged
- Being paranoid
- Doing something for the first time
- Parking
- Being alone
- Upsetting someone
- Disappointing someone
- Dwelling on something
- My weight
- Tiredness
- Cloudy head
- Confusion
- Tv programmes about suicide
- Losing concentration
- Failing
- Insomnia
- Worrying about nothing
- Travelling
- Money
- What could go wrong
- What if I have a panic attack
What I really need is coping mechanisms, as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder means that I’m not sure how to deal with my triggers rationally
