What Has Been Your Weirdest Trigger?

[Lady of Longbourn]

[Venator]

- The smell of intense body odor/unwashed smell

- Metal handcuffs (I have a big kink side btw, I just cant do the metal ones)

I wish my triggers where that clear :confused:!

I really don't know what my triggers are yet!:eek:
I wish I could define them better.

 

[Heather]

Being insulted for no reason by men.

 

[LawPhotos]

Wooden spoons

Any uptilted, bearded chin. Fingers that smell like cigarettes. Dirty floor corners. Dryer lint. Dirty bedding. Nicotine-stained whiskers. Bermuda shorts. Any two-tone red and white 60s vehicle. Paying the bills.

New people, particularly males, trigger me. All I can think in my head is "well, he looks normal but he could be a rapist too." It has made me become quite the hermit. Another strange trigger for me is being in my bed alone. I wasn't raped in my bed but every night when I go to sleep, I practically have a panic attack or fight one off. I'm not sure why my bed has become a trigger. Maybe because I was left "alone" by my friends and it happened in a bed...

Grape kool-aid, grape soda....anything grape. Don't even want to explain why though....

 

[The Albatross]

This one just bubbled up last night.

Diesel fumes. Oil smells.

I bizarre triggers...men with beards, especially pink ones,

I apologize for making light of this, but I have a very dark sense of humor. There was a word between these two clauses but no comma so the above is totally how I read this.

I thought, "Wow, she must have grown up near Haight-Ashbury too!"

:P

Weirdest: Food Lion grocery stores. It's an absolute non sequitur in reference to my trauma. We didn't have Food Lions and we kids rarely went grocery shopping. It's so certain that we've had to switch stores though. :(

Cat pee. Another non sequitur. We didn't have pets. I think I figured that one out last night, though. that one has triggered me for years but I didn't realize it. I thought I was just violently allergic to it.

Maine accents. Another mystery until recently.

Church. I kind of understood this but didn't realize I had two specific reasons for church-associated tension. One was religion itself, I've known that since I was a kid. Recently I've recalled incidents actually at physical church buildings, however. Awesome.

Those are the very oddball triggers. There's plenty of "duh" triggers, too many to name.
