Triggered

Tread lightly when you have new things to deal with. When you deal with your emotions and unpack the bags I referred to yesterday, you may find some unresolved issues. The contents of the bag may have attached themselves to other things like a dryer sheet. The sheet secretly is clinging to the issues at hand. Just like the dryer sheet, it is stuck to your back when you go to leave the house. That may be when you realize that it’s time to reach for help. Dealing with issues is one thing, but if you haven’t resolved the issues, then that needs to be addressed. That is the problem with problems, you need to do the work. It’s okay, you may not of even realized they were there.

These dilemmas may have been something that happened before you even learned coping skills. Before mental health was a priority. They may have been too big for you to deal with. Misery loves company takes on a new meaning when it is a magnifying glass for all of the dirty laundry. Go look in a suitcase or overnight bag, old purse, guaranteed you have left something behind. Packing and unpacking is a skill, not something that you should rush through.

Coping and fixing are skills too. Someone may lose their mind over forgetting a toothbrush and toothpaste, others just get a new one. Are these laid back people born that way? Are they really like that? Or are they losing it behind closed doors, have sleepless nights, and struggle with organization? If you are struggling, if you realize you have dryer sheets stuck to you, if you unpack the bags and find extra things, seek help. Wash the laundry, remove the dryer sheets and pack that bag with care!
