triggered in public for no known reason

today, while in a mall food court we were triggered to an extreme and have no clue why. our body went ice cold in an instant, we were dizzy, floaty, fuzzy and watching ourselves from above but still felt terrified and wanted to curl up on the floor beneath the table. It has been nearly four hours since this puzzling triggering event and we are still in a profound dissociative state.

we wish we knew WHY we got triggered.

I hate it when that happens. Then I spend forever just racking my brain - trying to pick up any clue. It's so disorienting. I'm sorry that happened to you.

$#!/, not good.
do you carry ammonia? it really helps a lot in situations like that.

It has happened again, this morning, and began as we were sitting in the diner having breakfast. We are now at a different coffee shop (featuring good free WiFi) online. We are in a dissociative fear response, our body cold, etc... We have no clue what triggered it.

We have managed to stay grounded, more or less, mostly less.

We have heard of ammonia but do not have any.

So sorry you're going through this again. I hope you can get a handle on it soon, figure out what is causing it.

we wish we knew the WHY of the triggers. We know who it is, Aura, and that she is in a dark place of terror.
