Trying to avoid the ice cream tonight...
Lora, so sorry you had such a bad triggering moment, but I'm so glad that you are doing better. I'm just over 5 months out, and the anniversary of my moms passing was the end of January. I too have been triggered by the ice cream demons! Thank god for Skinny cow fudge bars. I have to hold off not having one everyday, but it has been so hard that last few weeks.
Hang in there, and keep sounding off here on the boards so we can actually help you out for a change. You have always been here for all of us, now it is our turn to let you get things off your mind.

Hang in there Lori, I can see how that could trigger past traumas. I am praying that you have a speedy recovery. Glad that you are okay now! Stay strong as far as the icecream goes! You WIN!!!

Ditto on how Kitteh said it. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, so given what you've been through you are definitely stronger than the ice cream.
I can't even imagine how hard the past few days have been for you ... but just wanted to say that I'm proud of you for beating down the ice cream demon and keeping it together!!

Hi Lora,
I am so sorry to hear what you've been going through. I've experienced trauma as well, so I understand your need for comfort and security right now. I know that PTSD isn't always reacted to in a logical way, but try to make your head understand that, the dog is security, the locked door is security, but the ice cream is not because it will weigh you down, and make it harder to kick some lousy ******* in the nuts if one ever tries to lay a hand on you again.
AND Now for an alternate ice cream suggestion.
Blue Bunny Reduced Fat, No Sugar Added Banana Split Ice Cream, found at Walmart.
It's smooth, and creamy, has chocolate swirls, bits of fruit and nuts.

PS: Did you know that when a bunny is cornered, and threatened it will sometimes go for a persons throat? I wonder if there are really any Blue Bunnies because we are what we eat they say ;)
