Re: What are triggers?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-03 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Trigger" is specifically linked to PTSD and anxiety disorders. Something is "triggering" when it causes a flashback, panic attack, or episode.

Most people put up trigger warnings for things like rape or abuse, but obviously pretty much anything can be a trigger. I have PTSD and off the top of my head the last few episodes I experienced were triggered by the smell of a meal I was cooking, the sound of fireworks outside, and remembering something in the shower. On the other hand in 15 years of being involved in fandom I've never once been triggered by something I read online. Different people have different triggers. Someone with social anxiety issues might be triggered just by reading two other people arguing, for example.

It doesn't mean "something that upsets me a lot", or as a lot of fandom seems to think, "something that makes me frowny face" ;)
