I have some triggers that are everyday.
Sirens = make me very anxious and it doesn't help I live 2 blocks from a trauma center.
Loud Children = screaming children really send me over the edge of anxiety and its something I relate to in my childhood.
Ignorant People = those that cannot understand or wish not to understand.
Hospitals = (psych units) I've been hospitalized 6 times since February and each time they seem to get worse and worse. I haven't really had a traumatic experience at one yet but I am dreading the day it happens and that dreading is a trigger for me.
Boredom = Being bored is bad for me. I usually try to fix my brain by taking meds wrongly or just to experiment with different med combos. This is how I usually end up "incarcerated" at the hospital. (I'm currently bored and I am trying not to revert to my past ways)
Urban Music = blasting from hoopdies driving up and down the street. Makes me feel like some gangsta is gonna come hurt me making me very anxious.
Doctors = that can't speak English. Nuff said.
