Thunder and lightning...

It triggers memories and simultaneously a panic attack which kicks off my asthma and I end up in hospital...generally for a long stay..

I am triggered by a certain type of guacamole (that is packaged and ready to eat.)

I always feel like I'm the weirdest one... but I'm glad I'm not alone. =)

Thanksgiving always triggers me...

Lip Medex balm (my ex wears this, plus it became one of those smells that made me sick while pregnant). It is the ONLY lip balm to do that to me.

Someone who tries to touch or talk to me from behind without warning me they're there

License plates that have 666 in them

Mass homilies that mention the afterlife, particularly purgatory and hell

Accusations of lying, that I'm lazy

Bible passages that mention adultery

Oral sex

Ringing telephones

I'll post more later if I think of them. Thank you for this thread, it got me thinking.

I found out a new one over this past week.....

when someone peals an orange....the way their hands smell after

I dont know if he ate an orange before...or maybe I did

I dont remember at all but the smell makes me sick

I cant handle it and my little brother eats oranges all the time!

I have some weird trigger too,

~ people whispering in my ear, I can't stand it

~ men hugging children, especially girls

~ anyone holding on to my wrists

~ anything around my neck, I hate turtlenecks and even some normal shirts

~ being surrounded by people, I feel trapped, like I can't escape

~ people standing directly behind me where I can't see them, I get all paranoid

~ people hugging me, I can't stand it, even when it is people I have always known

White cars still make me a little paranoid every once-in-awhile, mainly ones with red interior. I'm convinced I'll never have a white car.

The phrase "I'm crazy about you." I can't stand to have anyone say that.

Yep. Got a couple. I hadn't thought about this prior to seeing this thread, so here goes, **TRIGGER WARNING**

OK -

I have all the usuals - touching, being naked, any movie/show with violence towards women. Being hit on.

Then I have a few "strangies":

-the Hallmark movie, "The Secret Garden" (It was on during...)

-"Chinese stars" - weird "collector" type knives

-bondage and S&M ANYTHING

-station wagons (luckily , I don't see that many anymore)

-diet iced t (**T**what he drugged me with - I still have no idea WHAT he used)

-long trench coats

-stocky young men in the 5'8" - 5'9" height category

-sweaty men, stinky men, smell of perspiration

-DIRT . The 2nd **P** - He was a filthy pig, covered in sweat and dirt form a water ditch he'd been skateboarding in - literally covered in slime with filthy hands, fingers, everything...just putrid.

-ANY sex on TV, movies

-receiving oral sex

-giving oral sex (I have to be drunk, and it has to be MY call, and it's VERY infrequent, that's for certain!)

-being told what to do, ordered, etc...

-the words,"Suck on it", "you know you like it", the usual phrases these sickos use...that mine used - in movies with r*pe scenes, etc...

-**T*** fingers inside me...that is a gigantic NO NO for me. Has to do with the dirt thing already listed!**endT

-the blue couch my parents used to have in their living room. I hated that thing more than anything else in the entire world, and they didn't get rid of it until a few years ago. I had to see that rotten reminder for, like, 14 years...UGH!..and any couch like it, as well...though luckily, that style's now so outdated, I hardly see anymore of those around either...yipee!

In fact, I nearly had a PARTY the day my parents FINALLY got rid of that da--ed couch!

Thank you very much for this thread. I didn't realize how many things, and how often I get that sick inside feeling, still.

Hugs to everyone else who shared!

out and I slammed the door; those that don't hide, hide cameras; games are almost always contact sports like soccer or

football, and guys play with the girls.)

The song "Perfect" by Alanis Morissette. I had to ask DH to forward it FAST the other day when he was playing Jagged Little Pill... it was what was going through my head when I slept with my r*pist after he'd hurt me (we also used to sing that song together) and I just can't listen to it again.

One is me crawling on the floor

I run a home child care, and crawl on the floor to pick up toys, or play with the kids. I can't do it anymore, I can't crawl.

Being alone with any man besides my husband

My weirdest one is orange condoms.

Another is having men who I don't know/trust get too close to me, especially if I have back to a corner/wall of some sort that would prevent me from turning and running.
