Is there something completely “normal” and everyday that gives you the chills for no apparent reason?

Whenever I hear the jingle from an ice cream van I get that horrible swoosh of anxiety but I just got a particularly bad one!

I was upstairs, with all the windows open, when I heard a jingle which sounded extraordinarily loud and sort of echoey. It really sent shivers down my spine and made me feel very on edge.

Is there anything relatively “everyday” which sets you off?

Theme to Dr. Who, theme to Ironside (when I was younger - had to run from the room) and mannequins. Ridiculous I know!

Swimming pools or bathtubs filled to the brim, or big pipes up walls.

Public bins and public toilets both give me the willies. Stuff of nightmares, literally.

The noise of a football thumping

Brings back anxieties from previous anti social neighbours

The noise of it puts me on edge

Magpies.

The Archers theme tune - I associate it with my childhood abuser.
