Avoiding Triggers

I can understand avoiding people, places and things that trigger you during your healing but what if the thing you need to avoid is family, or other people you feel you can't avoid? It's been suggested getting some space from them might help me right now but at least one part of me is really reluctant. Does anyone else have any experience of this?

My parents always make my mood drop, but feel I can't avoid them, otherwise they guilt trip me and makes things worse... yeah sorry, not really any advice... just yeah it's hard to avoid the things that make you worse. I'm spending christmas with mine, no internet or tv as it's a new place, and urgh, not looking forward to it. xx

I'm sorry you have to spend Christmas with them AppleCrumble, it can be a difficult time of year :confused02:

Yeah I know some of my triggers, it isn't really easy to cope with them as they cause dissociative episodes in which I sometimes get hurt.
