triggers...tv and movies PTSD Healthboards.com
since i suffered from a pretty serious illness my triggers involved heaven or afterlife or some other thing that portrayed life being different that it is. i stopped watching scarey movies a while ago when i used to be terrified of loud sounds. and whenever someone brings up or takes light of death or murder or hurting someone i freak. it pretty much is the same in tv and movies. i had to walk out of pirates 3 because jack was in the underworld and they had to turn the boat upside down or whatever to make it back to the real world. freaked me out.

Dear Ab,
Welcome.
I hear you with respect to loud sounds.
Approximately a month ago the ambulette driver turned up the amplitude of the music and I thought that I was going to jump out of my skin. Being the person I am, I didn't say anything but now I realize why I reacted that way.
If you are up to it, please keep posting.
Take care.
Phoenix
