Sometimes I feel like the triggers are almost impossible to get away from without looking crazy... for me a lot of it revolves around anything pornographic or things that involve nudity.

It is SO embarrassing and makes me feel so low to have to actually screen movies and other media for myself because of a little nudity. Especially if it involves images of under aged children being made to look sexual or media where people make light of young looking girls being sexy.

One time in one of my worst moments I just up and smashed an innocent DVD box set of my husband's because I saw it on the shelf unexpectedly (even though I KNEW it was there before) and it reminded me of something else... oh boy did that create a fight. Thankfully, now he understands and thankfully its pretty rare that I go that far.

I have a list I made for him, a scale that goes from 0-100 and along the spectrum I put about 10-15 triggers and when things stop bothering me I take them off and if something new comes up I add it on. We've just started doing this but so far its been helpful because we realized that some things I put high on the list he didn't know would bother me and some things I put lower he thought were worse. He is beginning to really understand how my silly brain makes the weird jumps from triggers to the thing that happened to me.
