If I'm feeling particularly bad I simply don't look beyond the general chat forum, like yesterday, or I may not visit at all. Gonna sound weird, but most of the time reading about other people's struggles makes me feel better... Like a "hey, we both hurt too, I'm not alone" sort of thing, not like I'm happy other people are miserable.

I tend to ignore the trigger warning in general. I'm too curious, so saying I shouldn't read something makes me want to read it all the more. I haven't yet had my day ruined by something I've read here, but it does sometimes get to me a little bit, especially where the suicide posts come into play because I can imagine myself in similar or worse situations.

I do know very well what I can handle though, so this helps me a lot in knowing when I should avoid being here.
