I haven't started a thread here before, and this isn't a DID issue most likely , but i think it is a dissociative issue that is coming back to bite me. Over the last couple of years I have been having increased aversion to the kind of sixties,/seventies music that get's called "lounge music" but gets played as sort of "jazz or pop-lite" in a lot of contexts. It's gotten to the point that I get panic symptoms when i hear the typical combination of instruments and chords and rhythms start up (just think Dion Warwick "the Look of Love"). The church we go to has a worship team that really likes using that type of music and it just about sends me into the foyer every time.

I know where this comes from. At least I think I do. My dad used to drink heavily and when we would go skiing my mom sent me to go get him out of the hotel bar more than once at night when it was time to go home. I think the anxiety link to the music is from there. But why now? Why so strong and why isn't it getting better once I made the connection. It's to the point I almost throw up just hearing the blasted whisk hit the cymbals Does anyone recognize this sort of thing? somewhere there is something going on that I am just not getting in touch with.
