Maybe try staying out of the forums that trigger you and stay on the general ones instead? Or read posts that don't have trigger labels? Otherwise, there's really nothing to be done, seeing as how this site is dedicated to triggering topics and is full of members going through triggering difficulties, and they are going to post about them to look for support.

I hope this doesn't come across as rude, because that's not my intention.

Also, I know what you mean...it can trigger me too. I just try and stay away from anything but general when I know i'll be triggered. Take care xx

If there are certain threads that trigegr you can you put them on ignore on ignore forums which trigger you and stay in the ones where you feel safer? Sometimes you need to take a break from ryl and really focus on yourself because if this place is making things worse then it is not helpful for you.
Take care

i know people really try hard around here to mark things appropriately if they are going to be triggering etc but i know it still doesnt always mean you still wont end up reading something that triggers you.

It just tries to help this not to happen as much as is possible which is really good.

Also from a title [whether with a trigger warning or without] you obviously naturally cant always know the full content of a post and whether theres something in there which might trigger you but not others etc as some things may be specific to individuals and i have been triggered on here as im sure have many others.

And i know this can be hard to deal with when it happens and im sorry that this has happened to you.

i think sometimes it can be good to have a plan of what you will do IF you do end up being triggered at any time on RYL.

Work out what works best for you.

i know it will still be hard but work out if there is anything which helps you even a bit at these times.

Maybe plan to post for support when it happens, talk to a friend [either about whats happening for you or just general chit chat to distract], do any other distractions which may help eg activities you like or find useful or something you find relaxing.

i mean hopefully you wont get triggered but i think its always good to have a plan incase as you might find too now that this has happened.

i know these things wont by far probably make whatevers been triggered in you easier to deal with or suddenly make you safe but maybe they can help you a bit to get through that time in the safest way possible and/or help you deal with what has happened and what is going on for you.

i hope you are feeling a bit better now.Feel free to talk about whats going on for you anytime.

Take care.

If there are threads that you feel are obviously triggering and dont have a warning, you can always report that post/thread, and the mods will sort it out.

Failing that, just assume that everything in the support forums, except from in general support and advice have the potential to trigger.

This site will be triggering, because it's a support site dedicated to triggering subjects. If it's really triggering you, then avoid all of the topics with the *triggering* label, or avoid the triggering forums. Other than that, there's not a whole lot you can do *huggles*
If you want to talk about anything, PM me? x
