We don't smile because it's over, we cry because it happened
It creeps up on us at the worst of times
At school, in the car, in the shower
No bed, no closet, no hiding place is safe
From the memories that seem to come and go
But are here to stay
Stuck on your skin
Branded in your brain
A tumor, a zit, a splinter
Memories hurt like hell
It creeps up on us at the worst of times
At school, in the car, in the shower
No bed, no closet, no hiding place is safe
From the memories that seem to come and go
But are here to stay
Stuck on your skin
Branded in your brain
A tumor, a zit, a splinter
Memories hurt like hell
I appear to be getting more triggers of late. Or maybe I'm just abnormally fragile this stressful season.

I know how that feels. I also tend to build up triggers in daily life, mainly if I'm suffering flashbacks I can't get out of in time, before I get stuck; or somebody reminds me not in a normal way, but... well. "Relentlessly". I don't really want to detailly describe how that would work, because it's not a friendly action of somebody, to do so, it's pretty sadistic.
But anyhow. I think, I might be able to share experiences about that topic with you (and/or others) and not only bad ones, but also how I got some triggers become less or go away again. Or how to prevent building them up. (All this concerning triggers like I know them from PTSD, I can't promise my experiences work the same for everyone, but there are some things that help me at least a little bit...)
I know that text is from 2014, but I just discovered it in a group-gallery.
So if you still have such problems and maybe look for somebody, to talk about the effects, then you can always PM me.
(I refuse talking much about the reasons for PTSD, though...)
