Idiot

I read something on here I know I shouldn't have and now I'm sooo triggered. Flashbacks really suck. I can't deal with it. I'm such an idiot

That must be pretty difficult @redhead. Do you have any go to coping strategies for flashbacks?

We're here to talk if you need as well.

@FootyFan26 I just had a cold shower. Slightly more calm now.
@Mily I don't know of I should say because it might make the person who said it upset or guilty.

That's cool @redhead, anything planned now?

I'd also like to add in response to your title that I don't think you're an idiot. People make mistakes and do things they shouldn't do which doesn't make them idiots.

@redhead you are SO important. This is an important feeling, it's valid. Please know this. How are you traveling right now? Any self care you can do tonight that could help a little?

Sorry to hear this I can imagine it's exhausting being pulled back into these memories. Anyone around for a board game with you? @redhead Or did you want to chat it out with RO (only if you're up for it)?
