bananaphobe 204 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I have stupid mild triggers. When people mention anything about mothers, I tear a little because my mom was awesome and I miss her like a lot. I don't mind it because I have so many good memories, but I also have bad triggers when people mention father shit because my dad is a piece of shit and I honestly think in my darkest times that it should have been him that died and not my mom, but let's save that dark shit for another time. Yay! And when I see people from dark times in my life, I get depressed because when I see them, I automatically think, "Oh, I'm supposed to look sad and depressed and be as underachieving as possible because if I'm not they're going to approach me and talk to me. I don't want that." And also when I see people I hate, I regress to an angry child try committing lowkey suicide. Don't worry about that, though, I have medicine for that. lol I see medical professionals, don't worry. And you should, too tbh. Anything about school triggers me, especially when people mention how underachieving I am. I'm just like "Really? That's what you think of me? Fine. I'll let you be right." Because I'm a spiteful bitch. It MAY have been true for a few months, but I'm fucking trying now, so don't fucking say that shit to me. lol See that, yeah... But if you say shit like that, I will figuratively shoot you because it's not legal to do it. Basically, TL;DR: I DO have triggers. They're really mild and I don't mind them to a certain point. I just get depressed and moody and give everyone the silent treatment because I can't handle my emotions. From worst to best, it'd be 1. People from my low points/ people I generally hate because they didn't lend me a helping hand when I didn't ask, but clearly did need one 2. Calling me an underachiever because while that may be true, I refuse to let anyone cal me out like that, it's rude. Don't do it. 3. Dad. Oh dear, I will go off on you at how terrible of a person he is. 4. Mom. I don't particularly mind this one, but if you don't want a moody bitch on your hands, it's probably best to not mention mothers because I will cry and tell you everything that was great about my mother. STL;SDR: no1curr; put down your triggers! <3 They better be serious because I was 100% serious. And if you aren't serious, I will beat you up. Now you see, that isn't a trigger, that's just me taking care of the dipshits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeZee 1,603 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Violence against women. My stepdad used to beat my mother. But then I grew up, and almost killed the bastard. Thank god they got a divorce. Men who hit women should be beat within an inch of their life, taken to the hospital to recover. Rinse and repeat.

*lesigh* 6,759 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm sorry about what happened to you and your mother... and your experiences with academics/school... Either ways, I don't really have any triggers. Well, I do hate tomato sauce but then again I hate tons of foods. But not enough for it to be considered a "trigger", as I could say. But the smell of sauce drives me nuts, I almost throw up when I smell it. And I don't like seeing sauce on people's food, either- especially if it's close to me. I will literally freak if you try to feed it to me, so I guess you could say tomato sauce could be a bit triggering. But probably not nearly as much of a "trigger" as someone who's suffered a real tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypertonic 1,961 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think about suicide sometimes too, but I take deep breaths and listen to some music to get rid of the thoughts.

But probably not nearly as much of a "trigger" as someone who's suffered a real tragedy. I totally understand. I can't stand tomato sauce either. lol tbh it sounds mildly ocd to me but it might go by a different name because it's not ocd but similar, catch my drift? I think about suicide sometimes too, but I take deep breaths and listen to some music to get rid of the thoughts. Life its too stressful for me, I applaud those who are in full control of their lives. tbh no one is in full control of their lives. if your suicidal thoughts get bad, talk to me and if they get really really bad, talk to a professional. They can really help a lot when you don't have any moral support lying around (or when the moral support stops working). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, this was cause by something that happened to me when I was little and it's also a part of my Aspergers Syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUILD 3,195 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 sexual crimes particularly toward women and young children tend to get me angry to the point of severe heartburn. Not sure if that's a trigger tho since it's not a result of any past trauma that I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart and Seoul 1,218 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 When people accidentally touch my stomach. I don't allow anyone to, so it's always by accident. It sends me into a really bad place and instant crying is a guarantee; it's all because of eating disorders I had a long time ago. Even though I don't physically act on those feelings anymore, mentally it's as strong as it's ever been, and I protect my stomach at all costs from other people cause I don't want anyone to know what it's really like (in terms of weight etc). So the stomach is a trigger I guess you could say for me being ashamed of my body as well as bringing back a lot of very real and painful memories.

Go Hyo Jun 1,772 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 not that i have issues w/ my family.. but family. during college, when we watched family-oriented movies i easily cry to a heart-warming or heart-breaking scenes. it made me think what i have done to my family, esp. to my parents, that made them happy and proud of me.

GoneGirl 2,737 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I also have mum triggers like you. Particularly mum/daughter relationship, but sometimes also dad triggers. Speaking of mum triggers, if you haven't, you should watch the joy luck club movie. Family stories make me cry in general. My other trigger is unrequited love or friendship, or basically any time someone has feelings for someone else that are not reciprocated. It's instant waterworks for me. Personal trigger would be to silently wish to be treated like I treat others, with care and understanding, but getting little to nothing in return. Like you said, you don't openly ask for it, but you need help and people don't give it. Some things you can't just openly ask, you just hope someone will care enough to realise what you need and give it without you having to spell it out for them.

Dandelion Wine 1,540 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It's hard to say. There are some things that disturb me, sadden me, make me angry, and make me uncomfortable, but nothing really has a strong enough effect on me to depress me or make me have panic attacks or get super anxious or unable to function or anything like that. Maybe the only thing that comes close to an actual trigger is my phobia of roaches? Like, I get very paranoid at night when I hear random noises because I think they're crawling through the walls or some shit...can't stand to look at them, they make me nauseous... I freak out if I see one irl or even on the Internet. So I guess that's my trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananaphobe 204 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm not really sure to be honest, I know I have them but I can't pin point them. It comes easier to pinpoint them when you accept them all. jsyk lol I'm not trying to push you to try finding them. Certain songs make me depressed and want to commit suicide Yaay~ Seek a medical professional if these thoughts continue please. Seriously. I also have mum triggers like you.

Also, am I going to cry watching that movie? I don't like being accused of something I did not do and I don't like it when people take trolling too far omg same actually the trolling part is mild but i really dislike distasteful trolling It's hard to say.

It's sort of like being on your period and someone calling you fat x10. lol (jk I have no idea what's really considered a trigger, but I think I have the jist of it) The roach thing is normal lol It's just paranoia.

Ludark 972 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Whenever I hear of a severe bullying story, it just triggers anger within me because it reminds me of the time that I myself was bullied to the point of having suicidal thoughts(I never actually attempted suicide nor do I have those thoughts anymore thankfully). I just feel like that had I been stronger, had I been able to stand my ground and tell my bullies to f off that things would have turned out differently. There is no point at beating myself up over it now, but it just happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
