Just commented here and there on my flist. I feel kind of awkward because while I don't have triggers like most people have been describing, I know exactly how painful having flashbacks can be. For me, it's just an unsettling feeling of being helpless and sometimes crying even though I'm not quite sure why (my history with sexual abuse is complex and not exactly the point) - I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through that.
*hugs* I don't want you to go through it either--I don't want anyone to go through it, of course. One thing that has bothered me a bit is a few folks conflating people-who-are-triggered with people-who-are-survivors-of-sexual-abuse,
I'm so sorry. I know that's not quite the point (or maybe it was) of this post - I'm just sorry that this kind of pain exists and that you've felt it in any matter.
You've definitely never done anything to cause it, so no worries :)
