punkbabeh Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 trigger.... It's been 2 days and already found some. - Pictures of him...like my birthday pictures from last year when we were friends and were dancing together...and I had to unfriend him on facebook. - The thought of the nightclub I was at that night...I know that I'm in a picture with him, and it's getting uploaded by the club soon :/ - Car parks...I live near two and have to walk through one to get to the bus stop. - Alternative guys (bad, seeing as all my friends are metallers, punks and emos)...he's an emo guy. - Long dark hair on men...I've not watched TV in two days. - I had sex with my partner last night, and we ended up in one of the positions he did to me...it was fine when it was just penetration but then when he was done and he tried to finish me off...I felt exposed and I cried...he was so sorry. and it wasn't even his fault, he just didn't know. I'm going to have to tell him about what I can't do now. - Porn...I used to like it rough and I liked watching it...now I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singmetosleep Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Man on man got to love those triggers. My biggest ones are seeing men that look like my attacker Anyone not listening when I say no or please don't (in a romantic/sexual situation) Anyone who might grab my wrists or arms, basically not letting me up Crowds People I don't know drinking around me Certain songs Oregon I am getting so much better though, I just hope one day it isn't as crippling as it has been Love to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divine.ffdd Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 *having nothing in my mind going on *being photographed or filmed (trying to get over it recently) *law and order svu *really young kids *certain smells *really bad hyperhidrosis moments where i cant do anything *people having sex in front of me and couples with good relationships *anything reminding me how empty i am *when someone doesn't understand what i'm saying *really innocent girls even ones my own age *some older women all i can think of right now. i find learning about photography, sex etc makes me to look at things and just focus on technical aspects and distracts me from what happend, i dont talk about them though. thanks for starting this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweb Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 yes, it sounds racist, but I'm working with it with my T indian dudes, esp with mustaches. I have to work with one, reminds me of my attacker. It almost makes work too much at times. white suv, his car the street where his business is located at times, not often, but sometimes, my own body, due to body memories, or just memories news stories on s.a.

OpheliaMT Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I had been doing pretty well with triggers, but some new ones have reared their heads lately. :-/ My usual ones though are... - Certain scents of aftershaves / colognes. - Being held down ( Being held down by my arms / wrists is especially triggering... ). - Being belittled and ridiculed. The worse one at the moment though has to be my ridiculous reaction to ejaculate... I know it's just cells... things floating in plastic bags almost if you will... but... it freaks me out too much at times to the point that I feel incredibly nauseated... I've tried working on it myself, but I've not told my boyfriend about it yet... I don't want to offend him or upset him. So... this is my next trigger to over come. Just not sure yet how to go about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchemilysing Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Glasses. My uncle wore this very particular style of glasses. I remember referring to them as "creepy glasses". They still haunt me. Mineral water. Their water had a lot of calcium in it. I remember him bathing me in it a lot...it has a certain smell, believe it or not. Red Caravan's. Shaved pubic hair. Being touched Red walls The color red in general Closets Bathrooms Ripped towels Uniforms There's just so many. I could list them forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryah Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I was curious to see someone else calls themself "little girl lost" as I have always said that if I ever wrote a book I would call it Little Girl Lost. I was physically (not sexually) and mentally abused by my father until I was l8 and moved out of my house. He was never mad at me he was mad at my mother and took it out on my sister and I. There was a VERY traumatic incident when I was l8 that involved a gun. I have never felt that I am good enough. I always feel alone inside and empty. I feel like a failure even though I have done and accomplished many good things in my life. Don't think I will ever feel worthy or good. Was sexually abused a week ago by a neighbor. I am now 59 years old and am still trying to figure out exactly how to feel. Was married 36 years with no actual abuse...just husband was at work all the time and I raised our 2 children basically alone. After a divorce I met the most mentally abusive person I have ever been around in my life. I spent l2 years taking this abuse...all mental except one occasion of fracturing my cheek. I seem to have a hard time leaving people who treat me like I am no one. I I sworn to myself that I will NEVER do that again. I will live alone and enjoy friends and family. Men represent sadness to me. Ryah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanna Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The color Country Blue. The couch I stared at to hypnotise myself and dissociate was that color. Loud noises a man's loud tone in his voice (even though I can't stand a quiet man) - so weird. Having my back open and available to be walked up behind. crowds the smell of black licorice.

bubbaj Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi there. my triggers include: being forced on to a bed, really bad since my current boyfriend thinks its fun, seeing my old house, being grabbed on the back of my neck, sleeping in the same bed as my boyfriend, anyone called matt, colin or rodney. Alcohol triggers me really bad, whether im drinking or other people are, especially if they offer to make me one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
