honestly fuck people who use the word ‘trigger’ as a joke. Especially fuck the neurotypicals that go around telling people what a trigger is/isnt when they have no knowledge on said topic and then turn around and hurt mentally ill people with their # TRIGGERED XD jokes.
Fuck you. You basically took away useful vocabulary from me and other people. I literally can’t use the word “triggered” in most cases because your shitty jokes stigmatize the word so much. Thanks a lot, :)
for all the people who don’t know what a trigger is: a trigger is literally anything that changes your mood or makes you more likely to do something. there’s triggers for anger. there’s triggers for anxiety and depression and eating disorders and literally every condition ever. “trigger”, in the psych world, means a lot of different things. no, it is not only for veterans with PTSD. that is how much neurotypicals have fucked with the way we communicate our symptoms with each other.
