It’s an incredibly surreal feeling to have all your core traumas tied into the exact behaviors taking over reality. Wildly triggering. I trust I’m not the only one.

I’m just so fucking exhausted. And the stress is triggering my autoimmune disease, making me unable to mountain-climb the stress away. Repeat cycle. I’m tired.
My RNP added tablet generic Singular to my regimen. It helps with anxiety and stress reactors the body. Mine stress reactors are fuckers since I contracted Long Covid. This addition has helped me a lot. I hope you find some respite.
I hope you don’t mind a suggestion. Lie down in a darkened, quiet room with as few distractions as possible. Envision, with the greatest amount of detail possible, a climb. What socks, shoes, t-shirt etc. you’d wear. The technical equipment. Inspecting it. How it looks, how it feels in your hand.
The excitement you feel in your stomach before a climb. That first handhold, foot placement. The sounds surrounding you. The light on the rocks. The smell, the feel of the wind in your body. You feel so alive…
Hiking! But I’ve been caught in an unusual personal life chaos spiral that is depriving me of the energy to hike enough to cope with events let alone the spiral. But today I visited one of my favorite trails and got it all out. Now I’m just exhausted.
Same. Autoimmune and dysautonomia flares. Painful Dystonia and new symptoms. Everyone I know in this community is experiencing similar things. Sending🩵
Big hugs. I try comedy and it helps a little. I'm a zombie/vampire nut and have been trying to use that as a temporary escape. I wish I knew the answer. I'm going to try to sleep. Again, G'Night Deirdre.
Omg thisssss. I was hypervigilant for weeks after the election. I told my husband that it was so close to a combination of all my worst nightmares that if I woke up tomorrow and learned it was all a delusion I’d created based on my trauma, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Considering what’s taking over reality is white men attempting to control everything and everyone I don’t see how at least half of the population can get around being triggered. Every woman has been traumatized on some level (t/T) by these fucks, nonwhite women especially.
You're not alone. It feels like constant "fight or flight." And the gaslighting is incredibly triggering. It's hard to focus on work or anything else these days.
You are not. Feel ya. You would think my 60 years of experience with narcissistic abusive parents would help me be prepared but no not really. Cassandra all over again.
Try reading Carlos Castaneda and doing those exercises.
Talk about surreal subconscious permeating reality.
Then try it on malaria pills you have to take to go into the jungle.
whew. that was me...a very long time ago
Same. So many of the behaviors being demonstrated are the same ones that have been employed against me for so long. I thought I was healing the last few years but it all came roaring back since November.
I’m sorry you’re feeling it so viscerally too.
You're not alone in this. Everything that's been going has taken a toll on many people's health and mental health. It's so hard to get away from. I'm a little naturally paranoid anyway and all this makes it worse. The crazyshit I've been dreaming is just nuts. I wake up tired and wonder what's next.
I had major back surgery less than two weeks ago. While at the hospital, my husband and I contracted Covid. I don’t have time for this stupid bullshit. I NEED TO HEAL! Yeah, I know; it’s not all about me. But this kind of shit makes me feel like a punching bag. I can’t breathe!

Impacts us now.
My only regrets, our doctrine was flawed. We're paying now.
