My physical abuse gets triggered all the time. After years of abuse, the scars don’t go away but fade slowly. A couple of days ago, I was taking the city bus with a friend, and we were sitting across each other close to the back of the bus. He put his foot on the chair next to me a bit too fast and I jumped and screamed a little. For a second, I thought I was getting kicked. He thought it was funny and I tried to act as if it was something funny but it triggered all the kicks I got growing up. Movies or TV shows also trigger my physical pain and I sometimes feel the pain and humiliation.
