My PSTD trigger is any type of gun fire ..... And the incident is still very fresh on my memory and the first couple of years after my diagnosis... the hunting season was and still is my biggest enemy I do live in the country and yes, hunting is a big deal. I have found that this past season was not as bad... because I was anticiapating all the horrible noise However, every so often folks around here just decide to do target shooting... and this still gets me going in to my downward spiral quickly... since I am not expecting it.... I just tell myself over and over again... noone is after me... and it seems to work most of the time
