My Grandmother was terrified of loud noises and storms in particular - I wonder for her whether there were triggers from the war as near her house was heavily bombed in the 2nd WW.

My father was keen for us not to be scared and I remember we would all sit in the darkness and wonder at the storm, count between the lightening and thunder to decide how far away it was. I don't literally jump now, but I do feel very unnerved when I hear thunder.

Do other things startle you as well or just noises?
