I have a question about "Triggers", I have heard people talk about it, but never really "got it". This morning when I woke up, had instant panic because I thought I had left the door at work unlocked when I closed up last night...........pretty normal I would say, like leaving the house and thinking you forgot to turn off the coffee pot or iron, right? Well, there was a time where these things would happen, but once I realized that all was well and everything was fine, the fear was gone. Again, that was back in the day. This morning, though when I started to worry about that, my stomach was nervous, but I figured it would go away once I got to work and found that everything was OK. But it didn't, I am still nervous and anxious. Is this considered a "trigger"? I really should be fine at this point, so what is my system still in distress? I have had a reasonably good week with my anxiety, no major issues. So all I can think of for today, is that it all started with my little snafu this morning.
Thoughts??
