Music is a big part of my life. But ever since the issues started about 3 years ago, some songs have become a trigger for me. I listen to these songs, and they bring back the bad feelings that I experienced at a certain time along the way. I'm wondering, has anyone else ever felt this before?

I do feel this way at times,

Born slippy by Underworld is a trigger for me, it reminds me of bad events in my life, because I used to listen to this song around that time. Now when I hear it, I visualize those bad events.

A lot of songs are for me, but mainly it's the stuff that I would listen to around 2005 - mid 2006. I think that's when it was worse.

Daisy, I'm sorry all those bad things happened to you :( I hope you're feeling better now, though :hug:

Have you talked to your counsellor about this trigger?

No, I haven't. I definitely want to, though :) I think it would be very interesting. What I'm feeling, basically, is this. When this whole thing started, around late 2005, I had no idea what was going on. I was young, I think about 11. Whenever I think about it since then, it always feels like a dark, sad feeling. Kind of like a hole that I don't want to fall into again.

I'm glad you feel better :) :hug:
