Why do I see so many things with the word trigger in it? What does that mean?

Balish, "trigger" is used to mark a post that may have content that could cause someone difficulty mentally if they read it.

For example, I get triggered by reading about heart attacks and strokes. If I were to read a post about that, it may cause my anxiety to become really bad or I might have an attack.

Common things that people use triggers for are when talking about abuse of any kind,self injury,violence, just to name a few.

If you ever have any question about what should have a trigger mark on it, you can ALWAYS pm one of the mods or admins to reveiw your post and let you know. Also, if you do think you need a trigger mark on a post, also add the red circle with a black X in it under the post icon section when making your post. Hope this made sense and was helpful!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
