If you want to heal, stay away from things that trigger you and lead you back to your past. Let go of friends who drink if you want to quit drinking…


If you’re triggered by certain topics, don’t expect others to understand that, unless they’re your family.

The rest have to be told bout it. Don’t hold that against them.


Stay away from people that are in a different space than you are.

If they’re happy, don’t go and spoil their happiness.

Understand that you’re healing, and isolate yourself consciously.

You and only you can help yourself. ❤️‍🩹


It’s ok to not enjoy or have friends in that period.

Trust me, self-reflection, self-awareness and a change from within requires a meditative state of being.


❤️‍🩹 Happy Healing! ❤️‍🩹

@InOtterWords I noticed that especially in SW, there are folks who just take joy in stirring the pot. That I found was unhealthy for me. So now I strictly only visit posts by those I know n trust. That means a handful of peeps... Literally.

Glad @Vivaci is one of them. It has helped a lot.
So true, BB. They’re really toxic for the peep who is healing. I’ve found posts which have 90% wrong advice givers…🤨

Awwww…and likewise, my friend. 😇@bellybuttonfan17

Excellent post. I hope it is helpful to those who have suffered and are trying to heal. 🙏
@Rutterman I sincerely hope it does, Pah. Those that walk this path need to know their boundaries and pitfalls. This was my attempt to guide them so that they don’t wallow in self-pity and blaming others. 💙🤗
We start to heal when we decide it is over and that we are letting it go… not trying to fix it or have hope that things will be better.

Once we decide we are done, our actions follow.

And part of those actions is knowing how to avoid triggers like you beautifully mentioned in this post.
@CookieCrumbs So true….the first step is the most difficult, and filled with fears n doubts.

Like any journey, you don’t know what you will find on the other end of the mountain. Avoiding toxic people is like staying away from quicksand. Tricky but necessary for a faster way to reach the goal.

I really loved the first meme. It’s the gist to properly heal oneself.
@Vivaci
Love that too! It’s the one that hit close to home. 😌
Right? I felt that too 💖🤗@CookieCrumbs

@Vivaci hahaha okay 💜
Love this and so true 🙏🏻
Thank you…I’ve taken that journey and it took me 7 years to heal.

So, it’s my 2 cents for those who’ve just taken the first step, or are midway.

Don’t give up! 🤗💙@Spiritualangel777
Same here hun it’s been 9 years for me but I finally got there and hopefully others with read this and join us 🤗 @Vivaci

True….it’s a process to find yourself. @MrBrownstone

True but hard to do sometimes.
Build your will power. Get up and move away from things or people who make it hard for you to heal.

It’s not easy but it’s essential for your healing. @Outdoorfreedom

I love this. I wish more people would do this. I know what it’s like to be unhappy with things but I know that being unhappy is not anyones issue but my own.
Huggggsss…..💙

Talk to people who understand and have counseled others, or have been through something similar. Stay away from the toxic. And that will help you heal faster. 🧡💙🤗@iamonfire696

@Vivaci it’s hard to heal when I am still in the thick of it but I still don’t feel that I have a right to take it out on others.

I don’t really feel to comfortable sharing that with most people here.
