Critisism, when people break promises/don't keep their world, invalidation, when others seem to be chosen over me, being mocked, attention withdrawls, when I think I'm not missed, being ignored, seeing/hearing terrible things going on in the world, when I'm around people I don't fit in with, certain music (songs that remind me of a period/people that I miss or a bad time in my life), etc...
Life in general can be a trigger.

I'm the same way.

Being treated unfairly.
Being misunderstood.

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?
Now I've realized that Icredible by Victoria's Secret & their body sprays can trigger me. I've never thought of it before. It reminds me of the bad but also the good times from when I wore the scent frequently. That is interesting...

There are probably other triggers I haven't that noticed yet. It could be the reason for my "unexplainable anger"..

Right now I'd say listening to others bickering & arguing...

Having people mock what I know to be my good qualities.

As I have said, all of this has been very new to me. Learning my triggers has been a lesson in humility.

My husband when he is critical or angry or just mean (90% of the time)

When I have too much going on all at once, (e.g. cooking and people trying to talk to me while I am in the "zone" or when my husband is asking me a bunch of questions or getting upset while I am trying to cook supper)

When my house is messy

When I can't get time to myself to veg-out. My husband works 24 hours at a time, roughly every other day so I am typically afforded that time, but he also gets 5 days off once a month. It's during those periods that I am unable to get time to myself.

When my husband yells in front of our son, even if it isn't at our son. My blinders go up and I just think about how to remove him from the situation.

When people are just mean.

When I see the women my husband has been talking to in a manner that is not at all acceptable for a married man. I get minor panic attacks whenever I have to go to the grocery store now. He doesn't know I know. I guess being paranoid has its benefits.

When I have a lot of work to do at work and I have a deadline I must meet.

That's what I have determined thus far.

Any & all contact with my ex husband.
Tension within my family- arguing/not getting along.
Feelings of abandonment- being suck at home while everyone around me is out having fun.
Traffic & driving to places I'm unfamiliar with.
Lack of trust in someone close to me.
MORNINGS!-I wake up stressed & dreading the day before it ever gets started.
Large crowds- in stores or pretty much anywhere, even family gatherings at times.
Running late for something.
Unexpected changes in routine.
Any stressful situations- sends me into panic attacks.
