I broke down always being reminded, sold all my belongings, moved across country, left a 20 year career, and started over... I don't think it helped though

Did you reduce the number of triggers by moving?

[–] JoMomma@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I did I guess, but I was still getting triggered into looping memories, and because I left my friends and family and familiar locations behind I think it made it harder over all
