Re: trigger question

Sure it's possible. You'll run the risk of people reacting negatively, though, since lots of people use 'trigger' to refer specifically to things that lead to episodes for people with PTSD and disorders like that, rather than for general anxiety.

What you're describing sounds like some sort of anxiety attack or panic attack. Suddenly feeling the urge to cry or feeling hurt for no apparent reason is not a usual symptom of depression, no matter how severe your depression is.

imo I think "x triggered an anxiety attack" or "x triggered my disordered eating" is fine usage, that's just using it in a regular everyday way. But if I hear "x triggered me" I'm going to jump to PTSD and assume you mean it triggered a PTSD episode. I get kind of annoyed by the latter, since I experience anxiety attacks, panic attacks, and post traumatic episodes, and there's a big difference between them.

^^^ This. It's perfectly acceptable to X triggered Y. You can trigger an allergic reaction, or trigger a migraine, discuss environmental/food/situational triggers. "I can't spend a lot of time around weed smoke because it always triggers a headache." is perfectly fine, but if you say "I can't spend a lot of time around week smoke because it always triggers me." People will, with a lack of other context, assume PTSD, not headache.
