Anyone just have way too many triggers?

As said in the title;

I have so many that I avoid MANY things. Once I confront the trigger; its either an anxiety attack or bam-I'm going on a downward spiral. And it sucks cause now this spiral will last days. FML.
I avoid places, websites, songs, ppl, streets movies, etc
I feel like I have to be super careful of EVERYTHING, and I'm getting so tired of listening to the same songs : (
I just don't know how to handle it and I'm scared of the unpredictable reaction; just can't stop the damn thoughts.

 

[salvation]

Yes both aspergers and anxiety related triggers

Damn me too, when I think about something I was very fond of I kinda loose it, I get upset and frustrated. I used to have a passion (sry wont tell, I dont want to reveal too much on me) everytime I see something related or somebody pointing it out, I snap, its like its forbidden for me now. This drives me down so bad, only death could relieve the pain.

Its horrible cause i feel like i should stay in my room doing nothing for the rest of my life, with the tv shut off and curtains unopened (yes even that simple shit can make me spiral )

Thats pretty much my way of living, since... Since too damn long.

I have misophonia. That means so many different triggers and it's getting worse as the years go by.

Asperger's syndrome ruined my life. But it also made it bearable. At least it did until 2 years ago.

 

[Tragoedia Vitae]

Yes, I'm reminded of a book in which the narrator had to avoid using certain words (because of their painful associations) in conversations with the local folks because they found such words too triggering. Sometimes he found it impossible to have any kind of conversation with a person because almost every word recalled some sort of trauma. I think I'm rapidly headed in that direction—it makes me want to blow my head up.

 

[seekingoblivion]

Man waking up itself is a damn trigger sometimes

 

[Pallf]

Yeah I do. They're exhausting and difficult to work around. Very hard to explain to others.

 

[EmotionlessWanderer]

If a minor inconvenience happens I tend to mentally freak out about it for hours sometimes even days. And I do it over the littlest things. I can't literally focus on anything else.

I don't know why but I absolutely get angered whenever people talk about me whenever I'm not around even if it's something positive. I don't like being a gossip source I guess.

I have hidden resentment for my judgemental as fuck stepdad. If he asks for a favor or makes me do work I am not fully motivated and despise the entire thing. I only hang out with my mother if he's not around.

If someone who was more kinder and open minded asked me to do the same thing I wouldn't care at all.

It takes all of my mental strength to keep me from snapping and telling him to go die in a fire and it's tiring.

 

[Journeytoletgo]

Yes everything triggers me. I'm doomed. I didn't even know of these things such as CPTSD and PTSD. Years of emotional and verbal neglect and abuse.

 

[netrezven]

ya, and it's my lack of hard reaction, that allowed those triggers. This entire time i tought that the way i solve problems is too violent and overreacted. I was wrong. I simply can't wait for this shit to go far enough, so i wouldn't be able to protect myself. So future will tell how violent is too violent.
Just gonna expand the business :)

I am the type of person who easily gets stressed and overwhelmed. I isolate myself from other people as much as I possibly can. I cannot stand the sound of certain peoples voices. Everything irritates me. I hate most sounds. It does not take much to make me feel worse.

 

[ollyoxenfree24]

Yes because of how I was brought up. I never knew what I would get in trouble for or what would set my family off. Existing feels like a trigger because I feel like all I do is let people down and will always be in trouble by someone so I can never relax. I am always on edge around anyone even friends in case they get mad at me or I do or say something to anger them. It's horrible living like this and not many people understand which makes it harder. You're not alone in how you feel! ❤

I wish I could get rid of my noise sensitivity. I'd like to be able to live freely without worrying about air conditioners or fans or electric devices etc. I also get stressed when it's dark. And I'm really smell sensitive. There are smells that instantly make me go but lots of smells which make me go I can't sleep if I smell something bad. The same with taste. I rarely pay mind to what my mouth tastes like unless I'm in bed, suddenly I can't sleep because my mouth tastes like the cheese I ate half an hour ago.

 

[cloudnone]

Oh yeah. Even certain colors make me anxious. It's not fun.

I feel the same way. There's just too many triggers for me, so I end up avoiding so many things.

Because of violent vaccine policy in my country i'm in manic+depressive episod for 3-4 days in a row. Every second i live in a world war 3 where the vaccinated attack and kill unvaxed. I know that buying a fake vax pass only gives me half an year time. They gonna pull out scanners, no more qr-codes, just smile and be killed. My psyhosis drives me in a world of 90% vaccinated people, where the elite starts to mass kill them with 5g waves, using the graphene oxide injected willingly to them. The media tells that this is a new virus, that comes from unvaxed people. They start killing unvaxed, while all vaxed are killed with 8/10 ratio. I do believe and calculate that this is what is comming, well i'm in pshychosis, but even if it's delusion is so real.
This week i'm going to buy land, abonded houses in distant and unpopulated areas, build bunkes and escape tunnels. Started political project and so on. I'm like 2 years ahead of world war 2, trying to save my family.

Does anyone knows a forum on the net, where is a discution of some sort of stuff?
I do need geopolitical information on what countries might be safe to go and bribe my way in, just to survive.

Much understood, and I couldn't have worded it better.

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Other than literally being awake and aware that I am alive, just about everything can trigger me. Even the most innocent and innocuous things. It's a living Hell....

 

[RazzleDazzle]

Music is a big trigger for me too, I feel you on that. And it's pretty much impossible to be out in the world and not hear music randomly. In movies and TV shows too, sometimes they'll play a song that's triggering and I have to mute it. Certain topics are hard for me to talk about or even to hear people talk about in movies and TV. Dealing with life is basically a trigger now, I don't function much beyond showering every couple of days and consuming enough calories to stay alive.

 

[UseItOrLoseIt]

I'm triggered by this thread.
