My events were 1) reading an insurance company claim denial for a hospital stay 2) going to a follow-up visit for said stay 3) resisting the urge to stay in bed and cancel appointment

I call it the pathetic olympics b/c average people could do this without having the whole day ruined, but my exceptional bpd brain turns it into an exhausting ordeal.  Insurance co bullshit and health care hassles are some top triggers for me.

The medals after the event are awesome, 2 Ativan, and suddenly you DGAF the rest of the day.  That stuff has bad long term effects on the brain so I try to stay away from it, but day like these, splurge a little, celebrate doing what had to be done.  Give myself a vacation from the torture of my brain judging and hating and ruminating
