I didn't really know where to put this. I though about putting it in Survivors of Abuse but I think it belongs here more.

I have a real problem having my picture taken and not dissociating. Some of my abuse involved having bad pictures and videos taken of me. Now whenever my picture is taken I am triggered. I try to avoid having pictures taken, and I haven't had one taken in several years now. The last one was taken because I had a job that required it, and before that it was for my drivers license.

Some of you know that I am getting married in October. I know I will have my picture taken, and I really want to remain aware. Its my day and I want to enjoy it and not float off. And I want it to be me in the pictures.

I am talking about this in t, but I wondered if any of you have any ideas. Does anyone else have this problem?
