While staying with the momentum of recovery from depression, it is a good time for us to identify what triggers our depressed feelings. As we start to move away from feeling chronically depressed, we can become aware of what situations hook us back into that sinking, hopeless feeling that we are so used to. Our recovery is fragile to start with, but we build strength day by day.
If we take our journal and write out what scenarios push us backward, we can then be aware of them, and either avoid those situations or arm ourselves so we are prepared. Simply knowing what our triggers are will help us halfway towards conquering difficult circumstances.
EXAMPLES OF OTHER PEOPLE'S TRIGGERS ARE:
• Returning to the parental home
• Work appraisals
• Eating junk food
• Christmas
• Receiving an 'overdue for payment' letter
• Being rejected when asking someone on a date
• Husband/wife refusing sex
• Bingeing on drink and/or drugs
• A 'look' from an authority
• Self-recrimination
• Lack of exercise
When we are aware of our triggers we have choices. Choices offer us a new power and a new road to reclaiming our life.
