Triggered Trauma Help Thread
-
If you have been affected by anything you have read, or even just because it was posted, in this forum: then we would like you to tell us about it. We are especially interested to hear from you if the content was enough to cause you to suicide.
Please feel free to share what and how you have been affected, you can trust us when we say that it will not be disclosed by us by more than a couple of degrees of separation. However, Search, Spam and Web Safety Engines do regularly
trolltrawl the content and there are several "home grown bots" that have little or no concept of boundaries or privacy.Otherwise, you are good to whine.
Addendum: Sometimes it good to share, if you feel you have a solution, or a cure, based on your personal experience, feel free to pass it on.

I'm feeling very triggered. Apparently no one wants to read about my adventures anymore. I kidnap trans people, store them in my basement and once I've grown tired of their screaming I murder them. I use to do it for kicks and giggles but now that noone wants to read about it here any more I think I should stop. I have five things in the basement but I just don't know what to do about them. Maybe I should feed them and keep them as pets?
-
Sometimes when I come and read things here I later on feel the desire to give my boyfriend a good spanking. Does that count as being triggered?
-
I've been triggered by this forum, to the point where I actually felt it necessary to tell someone to fuck off.
-
Reading is on the decline generally because there are so many ways of accessing content. Try videoing your sessions and see if things pick up.
-
I'm a bit self concious about how I look. What if someone tries to fat shame me?
-
You don't say if it for your pleasure or his. Depending on the level of equality in you relationship, and if everybody is consenting: I don't see it as a bad thing.
-
Ooooh that gives me a thing I need to ask in the spin off thread from TTTCBN.
-
If they did, then your strategy worked. If they did not take the hint, try something with a bit more force. It is good to get it off of your chest once and a while, pent up emotions can be volatile.

makes a note of that
-
Not really triggered, but 'suicide' as a verb is making my right eye twitch alarmingly ;)
-
I think gimp masks are the "in thing", or for that "sexy" look you could wear really dark glasses. You will be totally unrecognisable. Should anybody try to expose you, you can deny in confidence. Alternatively, make your sessions more interesting and they won't be looking at you. Failing that, accept their blackmail attempts and arrange to meet them somewhere where you can ultimately make them your next star performer.

Remember, I use PHP. This should be all the information you need.
-
You sound like an interested party :) yum.
-
You just had to mention the evil Open Source, didn't you?
-
Try finding a trigger word that will affect you left eye in a similar fashion. With both eyes twitching, it will not be so noticable.
-

Mate, I use PHP to talk with Asterisk using C++ as a proxy.
Yeah.
You sound like an interested party
yum.You know where to find me. We'll talk. Prepare a secure line though, your significant other is a techie, you need to be extra careful with logs.
-
I will go out right now and buy the first gimp mask I find! You are a god send!
-
Yes but do you use PHP to talk to COM to write Excel files? Or do you use PHP to talk to GTK to write desktop apps? This is the level of my... shame.
-
Maybe you're his type and it'll all be good :) Shared love of ... ~caugh~ PHP
-

Ok, ok, yours is bigger... (and I'm sorry you had to go through that shit, ow!)

His beard is bigger and way cooler, too. I'd feel... inferior.
-
How do i hide threads on discourse?
-
The COM/Excel thing was for work one time, the PHP/GTK thing was for fun.
Actually the beard is also much shorter than it used to be.
-
My right shoe is too tight around the toes.
-
That's OK, we all do shameful things occasionally. Sometimes we have no choice but it has to be done. Best not talk about it, people wouldn't understand, besides talking about it may trigger other affected.....wait.
So. Do please tell us all the shameful and dirty details.........
-
At the bottom, under Reply, there is a dropdown of items like Watching, Tracking etc. - just select 'muted'. for this thread. Probably best.
-
Really! This is for serious questions.
-
But are they civilised and do they inspire discourse?
-
This is a tricky one, there could be several causes. I think I need more information.
-
As ridiculous as some tumblrites can be when they label any mild annoyance as a "trigger", I'd rather not have 4534987 threads here mocking them.
-
and you've forgotten how to dance?
-
Don't we have enough topics for mocking this stuff?
edit:
-
This needs it own category, lets call it
Trigger Zone
-
This is now the official thread where I'm wooing @royal_poet. Everything else is offtopic.
-
@anonymous234, @loopback0 Apparently not
But there has been a concern registered that indicate that one more is needed.
-
Well... do we like other boys and/ or girls?
-
I think we're missing our moral abattoir
Let me summon him.
@Fox I just dead named someone on twitter!

-
Highway to the trigger zone?
-
-
Be sure to yell "SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! Naughty programmer!".
-
Fret not, I've been here all along.
-
I would like to point out that triggers are an actual thing for some people. Some people take it a bit too far, but there is definitely such a thing as being driven into a panic attack by even thinking about something with enough detail. I witnessed such a thing this July, in fact. And it was over something most of us would think of as unremarkable, or at worst a mild annoyance: going home.
-
Oh God! Someone mixed the parmesan in with the scallops!
-
Be sure to yell "SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! Naughty programmer!".
... I'll be in my bunk...
-
I don't need to yell to produce spanking noises, dearest :)

I listened to a short programme on the radio the other day about free speech. I found it very enlightening and informative. I think I will try and find it and share it here.
Here is a link, but it may not last long:
BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, Roger Scruton: Offensive Jokes
Roger Scruton argues for the freedom to make jokes that others may find offensive.
It it interesting and thought provoking, and I don't offer any opinion or view on it. I will say that the point about not entering into discussion about a "thing" allows that thing to be suppressed, vilified, or otherwise treated "badly" hits quite close to home.

You could pretend you have BIID and cut off enough toes that your shoes fit.

Do you ever wonder about he mental stability of a person at college, a supposed adult, who would call 911 because they saw a mouse in the dorm?
