Congratulations! I wish I could deal with triggers that well. I had an unexpected encounter with an anxiety trigger yesterday and managed to remain comperatively calm but not (yet) completely (a 0.5 or 0.7 on a scale of 0 to 10). Still, compared to 7 years ago it's a quantum leap 
Well it is true that God doesn't give you more than you can handle.Congratulations! I wish I could deal with triggers that well.

I know I couldn't deal with the stuff a lot of you all list on here.
I'll admit I am The Head Injury Queen, but anxiety, I've only been freaked out like twice in my life, and both times I had what they term' hysterical paralysis'. Yep, can't handle it.

hysterical paralysis - looked it up--
Briefly being unable to move a limb or other area of the body due to emotional stress. Now commonly known as conversion disorder.
yeah my body was like paralyzed like that a while ago.. happened a few times.. --- but they never did anything for it.. I don't know, I think after hours of not moving - I just fell asleep and woke later with it gone..? it is I guess annoying kinda..-=-very weird sensations throughout the whole time.. --- like waterfalls running down my spine.
I had it mainly in my hands and leg.
The parts just didn't move. The one time I just had someone read me jokes and stuff from a magazine, I was on a plane that time and the other time I was lost in the USA city of Atlanta GA at night with a car with only a little gas and no money at all with me.
I finally figured out where I was and the sensation went away.
I used to be bothered by my Harm OCD thoughts (accidentally pushing, hitting, or hurting someone). Lately, I've been so stressed out and irritated that I feel the opposite. I was telling my friend, "I want to punch someone in the face, " for lack of a better description. Or I smile at the thought of imagining one of my coworkers on fire. These thoughts don't bother me because (1) they're just intrusive thoughts; (2) I've been feeling overwhelmed lately, so they are a negative response to stress; and (3) I have no malicious intent.
yeah I can relate I would sit in class at college and be like gripping the edge of my desk to keep from getting up and doing some kind of intrusive act in the classroom.. just constant obsessing with that.. I don't get that too much anymore but yeah.. it is.. what it is. --- // --- I am not sure where my ocd went but --- not too much must be the wellbutrin doing something with that .. somehow. it just does wonders with the thoughts in obsession and all..
I envy you! As early as a toddler I was violently taught that violence is a) something you can not defend yourself against, b) crying or screaming doesn't make your attacker stop - on the contrary, and c) violence is something you never ever do to others.
Half a century later I've found out that
a) is totally wrong.
b) still works for me: if you scare me to death of if I break a leg I'l never give so much as a whimper
c) is still in full effect and that might cause problems. I'm like a pressure cooker with a blocked valve. Recently, I started to at least strike back verbally but it takes really a lot of provocation for me to hit anyone. Even when I'm furious and would like to throw things at the wall, I always pick unbreakable stuff. Self control is all good and right but an overdose of it is like an emotional wheelclamp.

Nah, that's just survivor bias. The people who say things like that are the ones who lived. The ones to whom God gave more than they could handle say nothing. Ever again.
or they became atheists, like me 
Or God is calling them home.
The Christians believe that God doesn’t accept people driven to suicide. Even when he’s behind the wheel.
That mnight prove difficult in the EU: q-tips are plastic waste and therefore got banned last year

Congress in the states ... i know it’s political but relates to mental healthcare across the whole USA and such it’s not moving in congress and is dead in the water... it’s integration of the groups and services we need this now.

I'm having a decided mental conflict presently. It's a family matter that I know will cause conflict. I'm feeling very frustrated.
I had a doctor appointment earlier. I was really nervous about my concerns being heard because there was a lot to discuss. Had to be really concise but thankfully the doctor really understood. They want to book a longer appointment because they think I might have PTSD.
On one hand it's scary but on the other hand it's a relief. Over a 32 month period I was put through the emotional and physical wringer with noisy neighbours and narcissistic abuse from the local authority. Over the last year, it's been hard coping with, and recovering from, certain issues. It's also good to put a name to the symptoms and not feel crazy.
