Triggered

I like to watch the television show Cold Case. I think it's very well-written and the art direction and set design is fantastic. And normally I don't find it particularly troubling.

Tonight, though the episode was very, very triggering. It involved an abusive husband and murder and having to give up a child you love because you feel you have no choice.

I'm still feeling quite sick and upset. I had to leave the room for part of the show, that's how upsetting I found it. I normally have a pretty good handle on this stuff, but this... too upsetting.

I hope to feel better tomorrow. I usually do after a good night's sleep...

I just have to keep saying, "It's just a television show. It's just a television show. It's just a television show..."
