I get triggered too easily and then I feel the need to report it sometimes (like if something mentions abuse, I feel like reporting it online).

It is tiring.

Edit: I do not mean that I reported incidents on this website (I was referring to incidents off this site, actually).

    Consider that the concept of being triggered is related to trauma responses and that you may need support to process the wound you are carrying with you. I speak from personal experience

      (Trigger warning for trafficking mention) The thing is that it is related to really dark stuff (like a YouTube comment talked about an incident where supposedly their relative bought a DPRK defector as a bride and said that DPRK defectors in China were often trafficked, but it sounded like anti-communist propaganda, so I was hesitant to report it).

        It’s ok that it’s dark. PTSD is a hell of thing to live with (speaking from experience) and it’s something you can get support (without drugs) and there are some powerful and short-term interventions that can greatly improve your quality of life
