I have three triggers that i can think of which are relevant here on the forum:

1. Over-Zealous Reactions to my Exercising

This comes from sharing with an exercise buff that i had started exercising. She just had this HUGE reaction, became just hysterical with enthusiasm that i had exercised. We were in the car and in that small enclosed space with her at the wheel it was very upsetting. So i worry when i say i have exercised here. I want to share it because exercise is important and i am proud of myself when i do it but i just don't want an avalanche of hysterical praise just because i did 15 minutes on the treadmill. Simple statements of support from peers are what i desire.

2. Telling me to see a Therapist or Psychiatrist

I'm 53 and i have been at this over thirty of them and i know that professional "help" is HARMFUL for me. I consider myself a psychiatric survivor, one who has survived the psychiatric system. I've had many shattering experiences at the hands of "helping" professionals. At this point, i am just looking for peer support, like we have here. Support from others with LIVED experience who have been where i am and can empathize or say what they did to heal is what i desire.

3. Trying to Solve my Problem for Me

If people tell me to do obvious practical tasks that i have already thought of it makes me think that they don't think i am competent enough to have thought of them myself. I am plenty smart and capable of thinking of practical solutions. If i'm really stumped i'll make a point of asking for suggestions, otherwise i just want empathy from peers.

4. Anything to do with Meds

This is unless i specifically ask. No one here is a doctor and if i want medical advice i will see my GP.

Sorry if that sounds hostile. I really enjoy our forum for the most part and am happy to be here and have had many wonderful experiences here.
