There is a triggering sign because even the subject matter I am discussing can trigger people. I learned that on another board. One person's salvation can be another's torment, especially if something has happened in the latter's past. I have a specific example in mind but will not open a can of worms here.

Suffice it to say that religion upsets a lot of people. It has gotten me through the past few months, but bring it up and it's like I've just discussed something pornographic. So I do not discuss it at all or but barely.

Besides I'd rather overuse the trigger sign than underuse it. I am feeling so black that I am afraid that I will trigger someone at any time with anything I say.So I'll just use it for most of what I write, whether it's actually triggering or not. I would rather be accused of overusing the trigger sign than of writing something and triggering someone with it. I don't want to destroy people with my writing. But that is what may wind up happening.

BTW I return the cushion today. Nuts.
