When I was having delusions in the past, all the noises made in the libraries seemed to harrass me. Like for example, when someone dropped a pen on the desk making a noise, I interpreted it as an torment or a messege to make me leave the library. It’s weird, right? I had sensitive hearings and so I think I was obssessed with any noises they make. But the problem is I think I got the traumaic memory on libraries, and I can’t stay there anymore, even though the delusions are all gone. I feel like I have to leave the library as I did in the past. 
Do you have such similar things related to certain places?

I used to with certain bus stops. But it was really affecting my quality of life, so I pushed through and made myself get used to it again. It sucked for a couple months, but insight really helps.

Maybe I should push through myself too. I might overcome it, too. Geting an encourgament from this site is helpful.

I don’t like going to the library.
For some reason I find them to be depressing places.
Probably stems from my childhood.

When I was delusional I thought whenever someone coughed they were making a slight at me. It was a relief when I got on meds. Life is so much simpler this way.

I had to sit in the library for 5 hours yesterday with one Cheetos break!

Yes this happens to me but mostly in health settings so like the doctors office (one of my triggers).
One time as I was stepping into the waiting room to sit down, I noticed someone bouncing their leg up and down and I thought they were trying to communicate with me. Usually I have my mom come with me to these kind of appointments but even then I have to have headphones on to distract myself.
It does get a little better with time but you have to keep doing it.
I’m so sorry this happens to you though, I know it’s hard.

Thank all you guys. I stayed in the library today longer than yesterday. I will keep trying and increase the time I stay.
I experienced the same thing. I hope I would overcome this fear being slighted when I take exams coming soon.
I used to have some headphones too but not used anymore.

People are harassing me in libraries. Once they made me start coughing and feel like I would vomit, if I didn’t get out of there.
