I can see both sides of the "trigger" debate. It's a complicated issue. We're all triggered by different things and some of us do test ourselves to see if we can handle the triggers. I think it's impossible to label everything that has the potential to trigger... and I can also understand why people test themselves with triggers.

My biggest trigger is discussion of financial problems. That's quite an innocuous subject for many people so I don't expect anyone to mark a thread about financial worries as a trigger. I don't expect anyone to know that discussion of money can be traumatic for me. If I see the title of the thread and it mentions finances or money, or I start reading the first post and I see that it's going in that direction, I usually just move on because I know that reading it will cause me too much anxiety. If I'm having a day where I'm feeling stronger than usual, I might test myself... try to read it and see if I can read it rationally, without becoming panicked and nauseated.

I think most of us do our best to protect each other on here, but there are some situations in which we can only protect ourselves.
