It scares me where we are headed and each time such situations and events arise I am triggered quite badly.
I have had trauma in my life particularly from my time in the Navy. Add continuous harassment to that and I pretty much get triggered by any man who fits the 'bill' by demeanor, physicality, and appearance. I feel threatened, vulnerable, scared of any ulterior motive they might have against me, nausea, and a need to be hyper-vigilant around them on account of my uber-fear they might turn on me.

So many people are feeling like you feel. I do. Afraid...seriously scared.

What triggers me...Last night I was at a gathering of volunteers I used to work with (a mental health organization). Everyone was so friendly. The conversation turned to people hearing voices (as in psychosis or dissociative disorders). Then there was a friendly debate about whether voices should be "treated" with meds or some other method, how some cultures accept voices, and so on.
I was seated with a wall to my back, behind a table, and with people to both sides of me. There was no way out. I was sitting there battling voices in my own mind and I was trying to fake listening while trying not to start screaming, I HAVE TO GET OUT! MOVE!!!
So yeah. That was very triggering for me. I'd make a list, but I'd probably get into trouble with the mods if I did that
