What are your triggers?

most of my triggers seem to be governmental/society structure but I’m getting better at not giving a damn

Horror movies. People who invade my territorial bubble. Sudden, loud noises. Lack of sleep.

Talking about aliens, and psychic powers triggers me. Also feeling overly responsible for other people’s well being.

Watching programmes like “call the midwife” and anything to do with maternity or babies. It sets my delusions off and i start missing my daughter :sob:

lack of sleep, violent movies, things people say can trigger me.

Quiet, muffled talk, like hearing a TV show around the corner of a wall, the mumbles start sounding like a hallucinated conversation with me. I’ve had more than one conversation with TV or radio people, or people outside in the distance, like this.

Then there are references to the devil, they used to put me in a funk for a good hour.

I’m still sensitive to strangers though, so being around them is always pretty stressful even if they’re not talking.

I also live in a very closed off world to protect myself, so I can relate.

It’s loud voices and clamour. Too many things that make me a highly sensitive person. Smells and sight, just too much.

Yeah I hear you about strangers and groups of people.

If I could list my triggers with my memory, it would be:

  • Any object/places/people/etc. painted red and/or green; two of my hallucinations say that they’re “here when there are green and red”. I tend not to use anything in those colours. Because if I start using them, I would be triggered, and the voices would start coming back.
  • Stress, or anything relating to past events when I was abused
  • When I have paranoia, thinking people are coming after me

But sometimes they just appear out of nowhere. I don’t know why?!

I used to have lots of triggers. I don’t have any now.
