It’s such a relief to hear you say that arguments can cause a relapse, that you have to stay away from certain triggers. I have people at work who tell me I just have to learn to deal with it. Well, to an extent that is true. But when I’m in over my head, to the point at which I’m risking my mental health, I need them to come in and assist in ironing out any conflict that may have arisen. It hasn’t happened often, but when it has, the results are disastrous. Right now I’m learning how to deal with anxiety and conflict better, but until I have more tools at my disposal, I do need the help on occasion.
