Triggers Things

Sometimes when I look at things or read something it triggers me to feel anxious and uncomfortable and I worry that I’ll start having more issues. Is this normal? It’s making me uncomfortable 😣

It is very normal PDiVenanzo when you have anxiety. Also things you may hear in passing and even smells can trigger anxiety. It hits the negative thoughts in our brain and on how we interrupt it. Let it float pass you, do not dwell on the trigger. Continue on with what you were doing.
