Anything that reminds me of certain people or periods of time where I was really out of control. Anything that is overly sexual or intense such as certain music, tv shows. There are certain people I do not associate with anymore because it would be a huge trigger for me. I also know that drinking alcohol makes me much more susceptible to obsessive thinking and getting nostalgic so I try to watch it with that too. I guess basically anything at all that you can associate with feeling those intense feelings - stay away from if possible.
