I think we all find something positive in SH'ing, otherwise we wouldn't do it so should we avoid talking about and exploring these feelings because it may trigger someone? Is avoiding them, not just contributing to making these feelings more tabboo?
I completely agree with this.
Different things trigger different people - and what members on the site find triggering is so varied. If we didn't talk about ANYTHING that we all found triggering, there wouldn't be anything left to talk about.
If you know something triggers you, avoid that part of the bored until your okay reading about that subject. But you are on a self harm site, so you should expect to see a lot of discussion about cutting, eating disorders and self harm and to an extent - a degree of triggering content on this site.
