Today i have read and replied to a post that has left me shaken and upset. It has stirred up so many bad memories and emotions that I am shaken to the core and quite tearful.
Sometimes this place really takes it out of you.

You will learn over time how to deal with triggering posts. You will learn if it is certain members or certain words in the headline that trigger you. You will learn to decide if you are strong enough to face a trigger or not. And remember, first and foremost you are here to look for help too. Don't put yourself at risk by coming past a triggering post. Sure, every now and again we can't avoid it.

Thinking of you and hope this settles for you.

If it is a person, you totally are in the right letting them know and discussing it with them. If it is a thread or a post, depending on the topic, these things will happen. I say depending on the topic cuz sometimes it's easy to see that a thread will be a problem for an individual. Sometimes not though...

I'm really sorry you have been triggered. is there something that i can do, or that the poster can do to help with this?

Thanks. I am ok now. It was a post I read. I logged off when I realised what a state I was getting in, and I am fine now. I love this place and it was my own fault for not stepping back and moving on. It's easy to get emotionally involved here. Thanks again for the advice and kind words.

Sometimes people forget to say trigger or put the red and black x mark to warn it's a trigger. It's just human nature. I try to back out of posts if I'm starting to feel triggered, but it doesn't always work out. It's okay, it just happens sometimes.

Yeah I think it's important for people to label their posts as triggering if they are even remotely so. Some people just have trouble with certain threads and that's gonna happen but I'm glad to hear your over it now.
