I didn't think about smells. That's interesting.
There is a perfume that severely triggers me, blue jeans by Versace.
Smells of perfumes or cleaning products take me back to wherever I was when I used certain things. I am lucky that most take me back to an old bedroom or kitchen and o think fondly of most of my old houses.
But I went through my worst depression and my only ever psychotic depression in 2009 and my housemate was wearing that scent at the time.
Whenever I smell that now, it literally makes me feel awful, i get this severe de ja vu feeling, like everything goes quiet around me and I am back there again... I avoid it at all costs.
I call it my 'smell de ja vu,' does anyone else experience this?
