I was triggered yesterday. I think part of my stress lately has been low level stress from my trauma. I was attacked at school in high school. Luckily I was within two months of graduating and some how made it through the end of the year. I went to a women's college so there were not a lot of guys around (no offense the wonderful guys out there). When I was working there were guys around, but at home it was just a lot of us women. Now I am back in a co-ed school environment. I did not expect it to be any specific problem. But I was totally triggered yesterday by walking into the womens' restroom and seeing the toilet seat being up from being cleaned over the weekend. I totally freaked out and couldn't go in the stall until I saw a second one and realized it was because of cleaning. I didn't realize this would be such an issue being back in a co-ed educational enviornment. I didn't have any problems (well relatively no problms) specific to going to college or working with guys at work (except for a few situations). Agh why is this happening?!?!

(somewhat retorical question)
