Triggers

[bonion]

I am triggered by certain songs/music. One will pop into my head and send me into a horrible crying jag-thinking about past events and future events. If one of these songs comes on the sound system when I am in a store, I either have to leave or put my fingers in my ears and hum so I cannot hear it. Of course this is so much more involved, but this is my first post, so throwing this out here.

I think I know how you feel, it happens to me, so I try to get away from the speakers, but some songs I love and I sing along quietly and enjoy the good memory's I get.

Be kind to yourself, wear some ear plugs when you go in the store, and hum to yourself to relieve the stress, concentrate on what you want, know the store layout so you can go to the aisles where the articles are you want. That is what I do, it helps, and I do not stand in line anymore, they have a section where you can check out the things you are buying, I love that, being busy with that I hear little outside of myself. I bag it and pay for it right there, then I am out of the store, I play music in my car, C.D's I like and enjoy my ride home.

Hope this is of help. Sending you Love, Peace and Hugs...Sprinkle 1......
