Hi there Sarah.. love your little heart... I think most of us, lke you have been set off at one time or another by any number of these triggers...
once we get a handle on our triggers we can begin to learn other ways of coping, and no one by any means is saying this is an easy or fast process, it just takes time and understanding...thanks for dropping by..Ive been away for a week and its good to come back and see a comment :)
