Other than that crowds really make me uncomfortable these days. Even sitting in traffic surrounded by a bunch of cars.
Traffic for me seems to be the worst trigger. I find myself constantly freaking out when I'm stuck in traffic. I actually changed my work hours in hopes of avoiding so much traffic. Unfortunately the problem now is that there is so much construction going on that there seems to be a constant flow of traffic, no matter what.

There's a saying around here in the Chicago area...there are 2 seasons, winter and construction. That pretty much says it all.
