hi, I'm 18 and I was only recently diagnosed with C-PTSD. I've had it for a long time, though. I'm wondering if you all can relate with having very random, oddly specific triggers. I feel that I am constantly discovering triggers I didn't know I had. while I was working at Wendy's, I had a full-blown melt down over the smell of someone's vehicle through the window. also, some triggers are pretty embarrassing to explain, particularly to new-ish friends when I'd like them to avoid certain things. an example is "ch-ch-ch-chia!" trying to explain that the jingle for chia pets triggers traumatic memories/flashbacks can be kind of difficult haha and often times I feel pressured to explain the context, which isn't cool.
