do certain words trigger you?

Do certain words trigger you? I have learned not to use certain words around my hubby as he will fly off the hook outrageously.

"Try not to let it bother you so much."

That's like trying not to get sunburned at the lake in July.

Stop whining and just do something about it.

When I tell people I couldn't go out to get food because of my disorder acting up, they tell me that's just an excuse and to get off my lazy ass and just go do it.

My mother used to tell me "Just snap out of it" when I was depressed.

Ever since I went online and learned of the 'new' meaning of 'Trigger'...I think, hearing the word 'trigger'..triggers me a little.
No Joke.

My husband says to me all the time..."Are you looking for my replacement" Jesus, Mary, and Joseph..if I were I would hope that I had found them after three years of looking. Give it a rest already.

"You need to forget about the past" or "Stop holding onto things" really makes me mad. How do you forget things that haunt you? I have p.t.s.d. on top of everything else for a reason. I only wish I could forget.

"ask God to help you" ugh.
One stupid exfriend of mine told me I would be healed if I felt more guilt and I was like 'what for?" I didn't know what she was talking about.
The worst though is people who badger me and won't let up on an issue or a question. Drives me bonkers.

The word 'lush' drives me batty, don't know why.

I know a guy you can't say 'sherbert' to, his eyes and mouth start watering like mad as if he'd just taken a mouthful of the stuff.

Brain associations are powerful things!

The southern Californian sentiment of "Have a nice day" No, I'm not having a nice day I've just been to a funeral of a good friend and now I have to go to hospital to have one of my legs cut off. Have a nice day my arse.

How about the "New Age" saying..."If you really wanted to heal you would."
And I think to myself
"Stuff that crystal up your own butt and heal your annoying ways." Of course this always comes from someone with no health issues!
