Re: Reading about someone passing away triggering HA.
Yes, definitely...I try really hard to avoid reading but I also realize that I can't hide from people discussing these things and all I can control is the processing of what I hear and read.
Too many times I've overheard people having a conversation near me or have a friend or family member tell me about someone being diagnosed with cancer or some terrible thing to them. Inside, I panic before they've even finished the story because I know they've just reminded me of one new thing to fear.
I just try to remember as MarkyMark wisely said that you really don't know the whole picture (usually) and I try to tell myself that the odds are in my favor of not having an except repeat of the terrifying scenario I've just heard...
