Yes, to a lot of what has already been written. I hate all doctors and medical exams of any kind - hugely triggering for me. I finally found a phenomenal gyno that does exams exactly the way i need her to - quickly, telling me everything she's doing first and as she's doing it, and never telling me to relax. Dentists are a real trial - that whole having someone looming over me thing - but I've learned to live with it, because the idea of sedation dentistry, where I have no control over the situation is even worse. Massages are out, being touched in general is difficult. I did manage one chair massage last summer and I was proud of myself for that, but not sure I'd do it again.

Other everyday stuff - I hate being constricted in any way...especially when someone puts an arm over my shoulder or around my waist. I get very, very jumpy if people walk behind me. I always slow down and step aside so they can be ahead of me. Confined spaces (like elevators/stairwells) bother me in general and more if there's someone else there too.

Oh, and unexpected phone calls or people at the door - those are just...bad.

Yeah, there's a lot of everyday stuff that is hugely triggering. I do my best and mostly manage to function okay. As I've revealed more and more to my T, she continually tells me how impressed she is that I function at such a high level. There are days that I'm impressed I can function at all.
