kids, sex, and men are my triggers. Crap, they all go hand in hand, too!

Elderly men, certain names, ignorance to topics (such as self injury), things touching my neck, red writing, closing my eyes (if not tired), sometimes water...and a lot of other things.....whoa...I didn't think there were so many until I started listing them.

OMG! Gracey! Polo cologne and hugs from behind are big problems for me too!
Other triggers include loud noises like fireworks, large dogs, certain names, the CRC, guns

Bed Bath and Beyond is a trigger for me, I found that out the hard way, now when I manage to get out of the house (not easy) I go out of my way to NOT drive past it. Making matters worse; I love that store (used to I guess) and my roommate works there and has a discount . . . Being touched, hugged even in sympathy and support is a big trigger for me, and really hurts because I SO NEED a hug . . . Please, someone lie to me, tell me that I'm going to get past this, that I'm going to heal and have a life again one day??? My therapist is a woman (I couldn't talk to men in the past, now it's even worse) but miracle of miracles my Shrink is a guy, but he's okay. I'm so tired . . . Can I go home now? I'm being good, why am I still being punished???

Being asked/told to look or dress the way the other person wants.
Being told I'll like being submissive. Being asked questions of a political nature.

I never know what might trigger me. It's like walking through a mine field. I am always on alert.
