Avoidance

[leigh123Participant]

Hey all, is anyone finding everything a trigger at the moment? I don’t want to leave the house because if someone looks in my direction I’m triggered, even a place, a colour, number or word will set me off. I avoid watching TV as I seem to find the slightest thing will set off a new thought or remind me of an old one. I don’t really want to leave the walls of my bedroom which makes it really challenging for me mentally when I have to go in to work. I just want to avoid everything and everyone.
