lots of common ones for me, but the odd thing for me how triggering i find cartoon/film/fake violence or things that are suposed to be 'scary' for halloween and such.

[O_Aisuru]

I have some pretty odd triggers I guess.

-Greyish Green Eyes
-Cigarette breath
-Septum Piercings (on males)
-Single Mattresses
-Hugging someone sweaty
-The smell of beer
-When someone places a hand on or near my lap

* A closet or bathroom door left open

*Rape scenes in moves or even sex scenes or talk of sex [in movies or person]

*Sitting too close to people

*Any attention what so ever [even as small as people staring on the bus or sitting next to me even]

*Clubs

*The word 'hurt' directed at me in any way

*outward flirting

*Any touching [especially of my legs or my wrist/hand area]

[SurvivingTheStorm]

Someone grabbing my wrist. :(/>

[momof4]

Mine are being touched from behind, my ex's voice, just sensing that a man is standing right behind me, and any touch (even from my kids) that I have not been able to prepare myself for.

:hug:/> back to you to. wow we have similar triggers. I don't know why the mind works like that but I am the same.

Yeah we do seem to be triggered by similar things...though I am not that surprised...I relate a lot to your story and your posts in general...PM if you ever want to. :hug:/> :hug:/>

I don't know if I've posted here before, but I realized I have a new trigger: whistling. For some reason, both yesterday and today, there has been someone outside my window who whistles as they walk by, and it is HUGELY triggering. I have no idea why that might be.

* Men of Mediterranean appearance - The guy that perpertrated it all was of spanish descent.
* Suggestions of group sex - I was blackmailed into a gang bang of sorts with three guys. I used to enjoy group sex and now the mere suggestion makes my skin crawl and reminds me of that night.
* Rape scenes in movies

That's a big trigger for me too. Ugh.

[InfiniteAtheist]

*Boney hands
*Class rings (especially with blue stones in them)
*The name "Bryan" (but not Brian)
*Rape scenes in movies/tv/books
*Rape jokes
*The use of the word rape in the context "I so raped you" or "I totally got raped" referring to VIDEO GAMES :angry:/>
*Mentally challenged people
*House sounds at night
*Being touched in anyway by men other than my father and boyfriend
*Being alone with men I don't know well, especially authority figures
*Not being able to see properly (when I get migraines I can't see and it ads panic to the pain...as if the headache wasn't enough. if you take a low-dose aspirin every morning it can help prevent migraines though. Just thought I'd share that. Sorry)
*His voice, picture, or presence
*Pop-up trailers, especially when they have a yellow/brown color scheme
*The game Chutes and Ladders
*Having my ass grabbed a certain way (my boyfriend learned not to do that real quick...)
*Gyno. appointments
*A guy my age that might have gotten hurt too....*guilt*

I didn't realize there were so many....

[boogies_mommy]

some of mine are: the smell of peppermint scented lotion and some facewash
a certain type of cologne
r*pe scenes in movies
r*pe and abuse jokes
the light sometimes at certain times of day
any heavy kissing
having my butt grabbed unexpectedly by my husband
horror movies
having someone breathe on my neck or talk close to my ear

[ellesurvived]

Abused in so many places for so long I've developed a ton of triggors-- and ultimately had to learn a ton of positive coping skills...

Some strange ones:

1. Cinnamin Gum
2. Toothpaste
3. Floor lamps
4. Puppets
5. Churchs (You can imagine that this one was tough to deal with...)
6. The smell of alcohol
7. Hand-cuffs (I suppose this will keep me from ever doing anything illegal! :)/> )
8. Type-writers
9. People with extremely small thumbs...

[flutefairy]

r*pe scenes.....or s*x scenes.....


the words: "retarded, abnormal, freak"
