Dear eye fellows,
I am now over 2 weeks into my 90 days.Its starting to get a little challenging.
(Actually as I'm writing this I'm starting to feel calmer. )
Things are triggering me, whether it's thoughts of inappropriate images of the past and other.
Sometimes I also think if I act out once that will satisfy me and my hormones can calm down. Which usually it's not true



So it just leads to more.

Hang in there bro.

I find that when I am stressed the triggers are much more triggering. Kin of like when you are stressed, even small issue can make you mad.

When that happens I try to do some deep breathing to help me calm down

Look up Dov's "Nuclear Reset" post. I'm sorry I don't have time to dig up the link right now.

Yes thank you!
Being stressed causes more triggers and I just want to turn to this to release or whatever I guess im just used to doing this.
