I second it. Yes, this is a place for support. But some people may need support with topics that are controversial. I'm sure a lot of people, myself included, feel they can't express problems they're struggling with because it may upset some people. Besides, this is a psychology forum. Many aspects of psychology are controversial. As for triggering, people can be triggered by anything. Holidays, telephones, a certain smell... It's not like we can monitor absolutely everything for the sake of sensitivity. We wouldn't be able to hold a discussion at all. Not to mention the people who have a disorder or demeanor that is triggering. My mere presence here is upsetting for some people. There's a point when personal responsibility comes into play... If one is aware that one is prone to overreacting to controversial issues and getting upset, then stay away from those topics.
