I love the way you narrate events in your present to talk about the root of some core moments in the past ❤️

Yesterday I went through something triggering, even tho everyone said I was safe and my partner has my back, my brain couldn't help but to bully me and teleport me to previous mistakes and how other people reacted to me being human. This morning I'm still trying to calm it down. I think as you said, our crazy 🧠 s just need time 🤔🤞🏽

our brains really can be bullies! trying to love mine and care for her even when she's being difficult. i'm glad you're safe...and i'm also glad i got to be there when you experienced a happy brain moment!

Same. I hate when my mind relives things I'd rather forget, or overanalyzes moments from my day where I think I said/did the wrong thing. I try to reassure myself that no one else is thinking about this as much as I am, and I probably didn't horribly offend someone. Our brains are something else.
