Reacting Like This is Normal When You've Had Trauma | My Boys Make it Better

Reacting like this is normal when you've had trauma. Triggers for past trauma can crop up anywhere at any time. The majority of the video I'm enjoying time with my dogs including a beautiful snow shower. I also share a part of my day where I was triggered and I talk about how I cope. Mental health issues affect many people and there is no shame in it. I talk about what I do when PTSD starts affecting me. If you also have mental illness or PTSD, you are not alone! Also, let's hear it for my boys!

I have PTSD and I’m triggered very easily. The information you share is priceless. It important to know that many of us who live alone aren’t alone...I hope that made sense. Love your videos and your boys are so sweet.

Seeing you happy, truly warms my heart ❤️ That snow though!!! 😯wow!! Lucky you! Bene really loves the snow! ❤️ I’m so amazed that someone else (me) calls their dogs paws, “Tootsies!” Get ready to laugh cause I’m gonna tell the the song I sing when I wipe my dogs tootsies when she comes in. I start with one of her front paws & move to the other 3 paws and say, tootsie woottsie boo boo, tootsie wootsie boop, totttsie wootsie boo boo, tootsie wootsie BOOP BOOP!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can’t believe I just shared that!! LOL

Thank you - it felt SO good to feel SO happy after years and years of being so very unhappy. I was in so much denial about how unhappy I was. I think that makes the happiness that much sweeter! ❤️The snow was gorgeous! Yes! Bene LOVES snow! He was born in Connecticut in November, so I think that has something to do with it being a puppy in the snow. haha! I don't know where I got "tootsies" but I have always said it about my dogs paws. I LOVE that song you sing to your dog! It made me laugh and smile! The things we do for our dogs! lol! I'm sure my dogs think I'm nuts sometimes. I talk to them all the time like they know what I'm saying lol

I love seeing and hearing your joy, my friend. Also, what a lovely porch you have. I hope you’re able to enjoy many moments out on the porch. ❤️

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you! It is perfect. I watch the sunset from it every night that isn't raining/overcast. :)

[@donnasmith7842]

Hearing and watching you laugh, was a balm to my soul.

[@IncredibleAnyway]

yay! the snow was unreal and made me so happy

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

I miss the snow ❄️ call me crazy but I like watching it fall but i hate to drive in it 😂

[@IncredibleAnyway]

That snow that night was something else. It was truly magical.Watching snow fall is so calming and peaceful. Agreed I hate to drive in it!

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

I’m very triggered by smell so I understand the feeling.

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you for sharing that. I hate that for you. This was the first time it had happened to me. Warm hugs, Em!

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

Incredible Anyway it’s ok!! Things happen!! It’s surprising the first time it happens isn’t it ?? I know it was for me !! Warm hugs to you as well

[@IncredibleAnyway]

@@EmilysLifeOnWheels yeah I didn't really understand what was happening at first. If you feel comfortable sharing, do you have something that helps you get through when you get triggered?

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

Incredible Anyway just to avoid the smell / flavor. That’s really it . Its the specific smell that brings me back if i avoid it it’s pretty good.

[@EdenDai96]

Lovely video

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Thank you 😊

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

Amen have you ever thought about leading a bible study?? You’re a great example ❤️❤️❤️

[@IncredibleAnyway]

Aw Emily, thank you.That means so much coming from you. (Between us I don't feel like a great example) but it means a lot that you think so. I still struggle at times in seeing positives/strengths in myself.I think you know this, but for a long time I believed someone else's narrative of me and it was not a good one with few if any positives. I'm still genuinely surprised when anyone says anything nice about me As you know I'm working on taking back the narrative and I'm fighting to do so!! Thank you for building me up, my friend and telling me what you see. I would love to lead a bible study! In a lot of ways it is intimidating but in a lot of ways I think it would be fun! Right now my plate is too full as my Meniere's attacks are back and extremely debilitating ( i go to TN for treatment tomorrow). But if I could figure out how to make it work with my health interruptions, I would enjoy it. You know what would be fun, would be to do a bible study with women with chronic health issues and do it on zoom or something so we could all do it from home. Is that something you would be interested in? No pressure of course especially as I'm not sure I can do it myself or in the near future. I'm gonna think/pray more about it. You got a book! lol Couldn't help myself. Miss you!💜❤️

[@EmilysLifeOnWheels]

Incredible Anyway i would totally be interested sign me up !!

[@IncredibleAnyway]

​@@EmilysLifeOnWheels yay! ok! You are on the list. Be thinking of other people who you think might be interested and I will be too. For now it is on hold, but I will let you know when it looks like it could be a reality.
