How do you avoid your triggers, when they're a part of your life? Ex.
a HUUUUGE trigger for me is my husbands ex-wife but obviously because
of their daughter she will be a regular part of my future.

I just have this obsession with making sure I'm better (crazy I
know). When I heard she was on a pre-wedding diet, I had to diet too
because I couldn't have her looking better than me. They just got
married last Friday and I just was/am so crazy to know the details
and what her dress looked like, etc etc unending. We are there each
day this week at their house to feed the cats (they're on their
honeymoon in the Dominican, also jealous of) and there's wedding
stuff all over for me to look at.

Well, there's now a wedding announcement in the paper and I'm all
jealous and feeling down.

I know in my head I shouldn't compare, and that we are two different
people and couldn't possibly be the same. In fact, I don't want to be
like her but there's this sick competition in my head. I just don't
know how to look at this and get past it because it's my biggest
trigger of all.

Not expecting any answers...just venting here I guess!! LOL

Thanks!!
