How do I manage these emotional triggers? I'll be doing perfectly fine until I see one of them and then I'll be on bedrest for the rest of the day. Can someone help me out? I need strategies, things that I can dedicate my mind to in the heat of the moment so it doesn't bring me down a peg.
Thx all

Just imagine the triggers had you not moved. I think you are doing fine. I picked out one horrible thing she did and every time I saw or heard a trigger I force myself to remember that. Didn't take long and when I got triggered I felt disgust instead. Win

Not a bad idea. It's hard to remember the bad times when the good times were so good, but we did break up for a reason.
Any other suggestions anyone?
