[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:53 here and I think that those who are triggered by this are probably imagining themselves in the submarine. If you’re doing that, practice some self-care. Put your phone away if you can (sometimes I give mine to my husband or kids), distract yourself with a fun hobby, another problem you have, a non-heated debate with your husband, cookies candy crush, whatever. You need to get away from thinking about this and you need to do it in a way that doesn’t require a lot of self-control. Take care of yourself. [/quote]

NP who is an empath and this isn't quite it.  This particular tragedy isn't impacting me deeply (I'm one of those hateful commies who thinks that rich people spending $$$$ to completely recreate the Titanic for Rich Guy Cred is lowkey hilarious), but when a news story becomes triggering it's not because I'm picturing it happening to me, it's picturing (or knowing) it happened at all.  I was extremely, extremely f*#cked up by the Uvalde shooting, and I never pictured myself as a kid or parent outside.  Just, the existence of that depth of depravity is enough to knock me off course for days.  I could see someone being overwhelmed by the horror of this situation without mentally placing themselves in a handmade tin can.[/quote]
