Mostly, if I can distract my mind, it fades. Having an internal monologue that likes to discuss the trigger incessantly is hard. - TWuG Nov 16, 15:32 5
- Yes I have that trigger thing. Have you considered doing EMDR therapy for the trigger? It is used for PTSD in veterans. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 15:37 4
  - Nothing traumatic related to this trigger. -- nm - TWuG Nov 16, 15:38 3
    - Traumatic is not always a single bad event. It can be a longterm bad situation. This is called CPTSD. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 15:41 2

And know that you're not alone in this. I'm generally very easy going, but will get inexplicable bursts of anxiety. - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 15:02 3
- ps absolutely none of this is dumb. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 15:47
- Moving your body definitely helps a lot. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 15:37
- Exercise helps. If you don't have a dog, got a friend who'll let you walk theirs? -- nm - . Nov 16, 15:08
Cold water and air can help me. - Todd Manning Nov 16, 14:56
you can always go out and punch some hillbillies. -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 14:45
