Anybody find something specific that triggers there anxiety, depression or whatever unfortunate distress your battling... And brings it to a whole new level? For me after many years of low self worth it doesn't take much, for example: I was just about to work out and my mother walked in and says "oh your about to workout, you do look like your getting fatter." And walked away, i dont think she realized she just crushed my spirt but i had lot the desire. That worthless feeling crept back in and I just set there for a while. What are some of your triggers?

Ugh....going to the mall yesterday....the first time in over 2 years....I even went into a store where there weren't many people (Bath & Body) as I wanted to get a few things rather than buy over the internet.

For some reason....it just really got to me....massive anxiety attack just walking through the mall....by the time I got out to my truck & my dogs....I was struggling to keep the depersonalization away because I desperately had about 1 hour drive to make. I had one more thing left on my to do list & I was struggling to even get to the craft store to buy my circular knitting needles that I have been needing for over a month....I think I must have zoned out in the craft store....luckily I only got the 2 knitting needles I needed....but it took me forever in the store.....the hour drive seemed to take forever to get to my ballroom dancing lessons I needed to get to.

I was so wiped out when I got home last night....I took a hot shower & fell into bed.....& still woke up with that zoned out feeling this morning.

I get scared driving when I'm in that state.....The year after I went through a trauma while in outpatient treatment for it....I actually got into 2 auto accidents where I ran into the back of both care within 1/2 hour or each other because I had zoned out so bad it was like I wasn't even driving.....

Don't think I will be going to the mall alone any time soon after yesterday.....I really hate the horrible feeling I ended up experiencing.

Anything from the TV to the radio to someone saying something they didnt mean can pretty much change my mood in an instant

When I think that I've done/said something to upset the people close to me. As irrational as it sounds, my heart and thoughts start racing, my head pounds, and sends me into a panic attack.. all I can think is how much they must hate me and how they're going to leave me...And usually, it's for no reason..the thing that I thought i did/said didn't even phase them, so;;; also some places can be triggers for me, if something had happened there..

what triggers my anxiety is definitely blame ! when anyone tries to blame me for no reason I turn into the anxiety monster.. I hate to be taunted or citicised for the things which I have not done !
