Doing well I can identify would be triggers - & they do not hurt me. I don't spiral down. They could hurt me if I focused on them - but it is not difficult to let them pass through my mind without harming me.

 It is crazy how that can be. Sometimes I get really suicidal really fast, and other times I'm fine.

 At Ladies Bible Study at my church this morning the dvd study ended with a few verses that could have ruined the whole morning for me. Real suicidal, real fast. And yet this morning they didn't bother me at all.

How can these 2 coexist?

I encourage you to listen to it. There were 2 things that he said that I just love. "Mental health conditions are the only condition in which the disordered organ makes the decision for care."  - That is said wonderfully, something that you know but just have a hard time wording, he nailed it. And:  "Your cognitive function, your thought process is damaged and you have to figure out that it is." Oh and there was something else he said, well, he speaks of mental illness being an ongoing treatment like diabetes. Which is true, definitely. And how we don't know what causes diabetes, we know what is wrong in the body and how to help it and all that, but  we don't know why it happens, just like mental health issues. The brain is complicated and really we know...
