I was verbally and emotionally abused as a child. I don't think I dwell on it, I realize it colors alot of my habits and patterns today and I am working to over come that. I have never thought much about triggers. I like horror movies and awful child abuse or true crime books. I have always devoured such books and quickly moved on the next. Of course I read other stuff too. I have been reading a book on child abuse and right now I feel so anxious and uncomfortable like I am about jump out of my own skin. Maybe its cause I will be starting my menstrual soon I am not really sure. But why would I suddenly start having issues with triggers ?
