What can i do when i am triggered?

Try to focus on literally anything else. Get away from the situation of possible. A nap usually makes a huge difference.

Breathe. Remind yourself that negativity now will only lead to pain later. Think of the future and try to stay calm and mature.

Remember to give yourself some space and time to go through the emotions, Rather than burst out with the emotions and getting others involved.

Try as hard as you can to focus on something other than what triggered you. But first, you'll want to address what triggered you, and why, writing it down (paper, phone, anything) will help you to understand what's going on inside your head and how you can better deal with it.

Whenever you feel triggered, engage yourself in activities that would contribute toward feeling positive. Whether they are your hobbies, or whether it's just listening to music with calming, cheerful tunes. Divert yourself from the thoughts by making yourself busy and not allowing room for those thoughts to take over.

Sit down, take a deep breath, and relax. Ask yourself "Is what I am about to do going to hurt myself or any of my loved ones?"

Walk away from the situation, take some deep breaths and think about it before I react. I've also found that venting to a friend helps.

Find coping skills that will suit you. Like things you like doing or basic coping mechanisms. Sometimes being away for a second is the best.

Taking a nice big deep breath is one of the first things I do, it always tends to bring things down to a more manageable level and prevents me from acting impulsively. That deep breath brings me back to times where I have done deep breathing exercises just when feeling normal. It really helps center me. The other thing if I need a bit more help is to get up and change rooms, or go outside. Sometimes it can be something as little as moving to a new spot or catching a few rays of sunlight (or moonlight) that can help me put things in perspective. These are just some of the things that work for me. We are all unique, so what works for me might not work for you, but I challenge you to ask yourself the following question: What have I done before when I was triggered that really seemed to help me out? The answer to that question holds the techniques that you are looking for. I hope that helps

Let people around you know what is going on, so they can support you. Taking deep breaths is almost always effective.
