My PTSD Journey » Family http://ptsdjourney.com Journaling my journey through life with PTSD Thu, 22 Apr 2010 10:47:40 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 The Day After http://ptsdjourney.com/coming-to-terms/the-day-after/ http://ptsdjourney.com/coming-to-terms/the-day-after/#comments Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:42:31 +0000 Karin http://ptsdjourney.com/?p=3 Just when I think I have things under control … I’m learning that I’m still learning where my limits are. And it’s sort of like a game of whack-a-mole. The limit is constantly jumping around. One day it’s right close to where I’m sitting, and I swear, 5 minutes later, it’s 2 miles out and below the horizon, I can’t even see it. Lordy is that frustrating. I mean, sit still so I know what to count on!

I’ve been triggered several times while on Wellbutrin, but this was the first time that I’d been triggered by old family issues. I didn’t know I wasn’t King of that mountain emotionally, and I didn’t know the Same Old Crap™ could trigger me. So now I know.

The fact that it triggered me through the Wellbutrin, tells me that it is a pretty strong trigger, and I need to treat all the classic Same Old Crap™ family issues with a good dose of distance. The farther away I can stay from that B.S., the better.

The fact that it triggered me through the Wellbutrin is also another big fat sign on the wall that MY PTSD IS ALIVE AND WELL. Dammit. Why won’t it just freakin’ go away already?!?!?!?

Stupid thing.
