Lizzi87 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 The sound of my neighbors walking above me. Sounds like my brother's bed hitting the wall as he got out of it to come into my room at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwendolyn Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Loudlyshy, you are not messed up. Or, at least, I'm right there with you....but I think neither of us is messed up. Anyway, here are some of my random triggers: lime....taste, smell, lime scented cologne especially, luckily its rare green honda accords, but only if I'm driving and see one on the road cinnamon smell (candles, airfreshener) or taste (gum) Tool (the mention of the band name, not the playing of the music because I dont know it that well) a man clearing his throat, usually on the phone before he speaks, but sometimes just in general "adventure" style computer games (mention of playing them for hours by anybody) screen doors slamming the name Chris, but only if its a man introducing himself or someone telling me that's her boyfriend's name the name Sally, which is luckily rare obnoxious laughter, by a man shrimp cocktail And the major one I must deal with as a school teacher: when I tell someone they can't do something and they do it anyway. I can usually deal with it at school, but when a friend or someone I "trust" does it I have a panic attack and feel bad for hours or days. I've just recently identified this as a trigger but it seems so obvious now. At school I expect it of some children, but I must really concentrate on how I deal with it because the little darlings can sense so quickly what "gets to me." Thanks for this post.

nicole9207 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I just finally figured this one out and believe me I couldn't figure what set me off until the part of my memory that I blocked out slapped me really hard in the face: The smell of my boyfriends cologne......same thing my perpetrator used to wear. Being kissed to hard or passionately.....sometimes it feels as though I am going to have a panic attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acosmiccastaway Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Movies, about SA/CSA, inuendo's about assualting someone. you know like, really hinting at it kind of talk, and it being demeaning. i think i've blocked something out of my mind, but for some reason, every now and then, Roseanne triggers me. Roseanne Barr i mean. The Manga Berserk, sometimes though i want to read it, so i have my girfriend Dog ear(fold over) the pages that are bad, but this may not be an odd trigger, it's riddled with violent things. the sound of tools slideing back and fourth in a truck, the song "this is the day you're life with surely change" what ever it's called, but it's on a comercial. and it bothers me, sounds sick to me. a mustach, a certain type, but i can't pinpoint the exact type, but it gose up in to the side burns. hate towards, race, gender, religion, sexuality, and anything that makes you diffrent from that person. sometimes, my stuffed Rabbie, Naomi, can trigger me.. but it's also a REALLY big comfort to me. it's a weird one..

~*Jenny*~ Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi, im new, and have been working thru some stuff that bothers me, 'triggers' me lately... so here goes... - having my feet touched, held, brushed against, anything like that. When in bed my feet have to be tucked into the blanket as im afraid someone is going to grab them in the night from the bottom of the bed and pull me down... - If i wear a skirt, pulling my underwear up and then pulling the skirt down over it... i feel so shameful, it really takes me back to that night.. - birthday parties in a house *shudder* - the weight of a man lying on my body, whether its a friend or my partner, their being friendly (messing about etc) or its sexual. - my hair being wavy, toussled, having 'bed hair' or it not being brushed or straightened. - the smell you get in the summer when you open your window and all that fresh summer air comes flooding in, i used to love it, but now it freaks me out, specially in the evening. - being in the house with my (step) dad in the day - he is the best dad i could ever ask for but in the day, i like to be home alone, i dont want attention or hugs or anything, it just bugs me and freaks me out and make me mad. - being home alone at night, i have to stay awake or have someone over, someone who i trust completely and utterly. - steak, especially cooking it - those rubber mats you can have in the bath to stop you slipping around - being in the bath in general -being looked at while naked - being in a crowd -being looked at for a long period of time - silver/white gold rings with a cross pattern or a 'knot' in them - weights benches/punch bags umm i think thats all for now.. thanks for reading...

shabuah Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Green Ford Rangers really get to me. Or guys who share the same name. But if I see one of those trucks I completely lose control. Over a car.

squirrely Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 guys with the same first or middle name as 2 perps who shared first names prolonged eye contact of any kind smell of beer or cigarette smoke on the breath having to trust anyone or being placed in circumstances in which I am forced to rely upon men I dont know very well eg scuba diving thoughts about initiating relationships.....weird. somehow I can fantastize about a relationship but only if it is in the beyond new stage; if I think about flirting with someone or a first date before it actually happens- I freak. even if the guy is cool getting my fingernails done. my ex- and perp would make degrading comments to me if they werent done. something i had originally done for myself, he turned against me. if I get them done I feel as objectifed as if I was still with him. can still get pedicures though WTF?? thats it for now. Im just starting to learn about my triggers as I have been so detached for so very long.....so this is all new and scary for me. even thinking about triggers in general gets me triggered. the price being able to feel anything again I guess. squirrely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canter Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I have a few odd ones: 1) People cleaning my room for me. 2) People accusing me of anything (no matter how trivial) I didn't do, even if they apologize after. 3) People calling me selfish for any reason. All come from my Mom's abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
