The Problem With Thinking About The Problem With Thinking
An unfortunately common cycle:
I see a post about trauma responses on my tumblr dash etc. I disagree with it, in whole or in part.
I open it in another tab while I start trying to articulate my thoughts to myself in preparation for making a reply/comment/my own post.
To articulate how trauma responses work, I think about my own trauma responses.
I become triggered and start dissociating and feeling generally awful.
I close the tab.
It happened TWICE this morning. I HAVE SO MANY OPINIONS. IF ONLY MY BRAIN WOULD LET ME EXPRESS THEM.

Take care of yourself first. If you can't contribute to an online discussion, the world will still turn.
Take care of yourself first.
Wishing you all the best.
