you know, when your thread is marked with that liitle red circle with the black x in it. what does that mean?

[Perna]

It means the thread might be discussing a subject(s) that is commonly frightening or traumatic to many readers, something that might remind someone of a really bad place in their life they may not have worked through yet.

I am new and still figuring out how to navigate this site. Thanks for the definition of trigger. I recognize certain things are triggers for me but am not sure how to deal with them. Is there a good general overview of trigges and understanding and dealing with them?

Try this, and let us know how it works for you:
Community Feedback & Technical Support > Rules and Administration > Use of Trigger Icon

That's nice, but it isn't what I asked. I'll make a point of putting the trigger icon on what I post, though.
