View Full Version : what is your trigger ?
Hi everyone
can sonme one explain to me what they mean when they say, what is your trigger? I'm not sure what mine is, i think it is when i' tierd it that possible?
Jill :D
Hi Jill,
I think it means what circumstances cause your symptoms. For example stress causes mine. A build up of worrying about things causes my anxiety and panic attacks. I think that once you become aware of your triggers you can try to avoid them and see if there is any improvement in the symptoms.
Take care

hello there,
It just means what situation sends you into a panic. I have lots of different ones, mainly going somewhere I've never been before.

Jill,
Being overtired is very common - mainly because we lose our sense of persepactive and get overwhelmed by things much more easily.

Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind.
If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.

I am always tired but towards the end of the week it effects me more so I feel worse.
Other triggers are a hangover!!! and new medication.

Hi Jill,
My trigger is normally thinking/dwelling to much & worry worry worry! If I'm not worring I worry that I should be LOL so I can't win really.
I also find caffine, or if I haven't eaten for a while (i.e have a late breakfast) that can make me anxious! I never go anywhere now with out dried fruit or nuts or something in my bag. Incase I need that boost!
If you keep a diary or just write thing down this might help you find your different triggers and you could always put a percentage or something like that by them to see how it effects you.
Take care

hi Jill
It makes it easier to cope with if we have a trigger ie tired, stressed but sometimes it comes from no where and that makes it hard to contend with it.
deep down though there is a reason but at times we cant see it.

Is it possible not to have a trigger?
I feel a sort of low level anxiety/worry all the time.
I think the worse for me is when I'm alone, when I'm driving, or when I'm lying in bed on my own in the morning before waking up.
Or do you think if I looked hard I could find a trigger?

How about your inner self dialogue triggering you about whatever you've got going through your head at the time and leading you towards an anxiety spiral .
I never had any major definate triggers but could talk myself into seeing the scary/negative side of just about anything ..

Hi Jill
As you know there isnt always a trigger but we know sleep is the best answer.
Sometime mate there is no reason we wake up feeling like that, but we overcome it.
Dont be harsh on yourself and remember we all have bad days regardless of the situations.
Love Sal xxxxx
So true what you said Meg,
I can also talk myself into believing anything. If I got a pound for every negative thought I would be a millionaire! LOL!
At least I know that I am doing it and beating myself up mentally! Oh JOY LOL
Would you say recognition is a positive sign??
Take care

**so negitive thoughts can be a trigger**
This is it Jill - welcome to the world of anxiety.
Negative thoughts and images account for over 85 % of all anxiety conditions . Some of them are justified - most are not : they are natures fire drill .
