So prone to this - especially on the job where there's limited distractions and a vending machine nearby!

Thanks to @RejoinEU Remarking that #IndependenceDay is using
exactly the same #triggers for #liberationDay . It's #nativist and #jingoistic with no place in 2025 #UK #AntiFa
I am not going to #livestream today like I said.
Going to #skidrow yesterday put me in a dark state of mind, and I am exhausted.
However I feel it was good for me, and I am better today now that some #emotions have processed.
I need a rest because I basically had the most terrifying hour or two ever-
1. #livestream when I was nervous and a novice.
2. Be in giant #protest of people which terrified me.
3. Go to Skidrow which #triggers me hard.
Someone did tip me a dollar.
Do you have misophonia?

Thinking about triggers today. Triggers for migraines. Triggers for panic attacks. And triggers for skin picking.
They are widely varying, it’s hard to keep track and avoid them. Life is very exhausting with so many triggers. #MentalHealth #depression #triggers #panicdisorder
2/2 Uh ok. Can you wait five minutes until I’m home and won’t cause a wreck? No, as it turns out. By the time I reply again from my workstation they are all gone.
I can’t even describe how triggering this. Took a very simple task and turned into some horrible and painful in the name of security theater. So angry right now.
1/2 Someone has a really rotten sense of humor today. I make a simple request of IT, and have to do it in a channel that’s truly horrible about doing things properly. Fine.
But then hours and hours go by. So I finally decide to run an errand for my son after lunch. I’m about five minutes from home, driving, when several people pop into my slack asking to help.
@Mrfunkedude I’m intrigued by the concept that there are #political #triggers & they are somehow different from all the other kinds of statements/content/actions requiring #triggerwarnings whether they occur on social media or not

TITLE: Why We Get Triggered and Spiral Out of Control: Stop Activation
in its Tracks - New Psychology Today Article
Because our limbic system, sympathetic nervous system, and amygdala are
suited to anticipate danger, our body and mind often spiral so
significantly that we experience a genuine sense of lack of control. We
lose touch with our rational thoughts and bodily sensations and our
systems go offline. To clarify, not all triggers are negative, but when
they are, they can prompt a reaction that’s not commensurate with what
actually occurred in the moment. To read more:

Scientists Discover Astonishing 36-Million-Year Geological Cycle That Triggers Bursts of Biodiversity
Tectonic changes alter sea levels which can create breeding grounds for life.
Researchers have discovered that Earth’s tectonic plate movements cause sea levels to rise and fall in 36-million-year cycles, indirectly triggering biodiversity bursts.

For a recent post, it was kindly pointed out to me that given its nature, I should have had a CW. Which indeed I should have. And I was also recommended to check the User Code of Conduct, to see topics expressly forbidden, and topics for which CWs have been used. Which I did.
Now I've got myself into a bit of a mental pickle. Almost any topic (so it seems to me), could be triggering for some people, including some topics which appear (again, to me) to be quite innocuous.
Clearly adding a CW to every post would negate the usefulness of the CW in general; but I'm now almost too scared to post anything.
I certainly don't want to cause any upset or anguish, but I'm worried that I might inadvertently do just that ...
@meshe @actuallyautistic @one The thing this #triggers for me is the #observation I’ve seen in other corners that by giving and allowing the space for #neurodivergent people to #process and #function, it benefits everyone. That doesn’t put everyone “on spectrum,” but rather exposes that what helps us takes the pressure off everyone to constantly #conform and #comply. #actuallyautistic
I LOVE that #AltText is common here.
Obviously it’s great for screenreader users, but I also get a splash benefit as someone with uncommon #triggers that nobody ever warns for: #Mastodon’s #filter system catches words in alt text.
No more muting people for posting images of my triggers, as long as they add alt text!
Y'all, I'm off to listen to my Audible book with the hopes my anxiety will decrease at some point tonight. Be good, my friends.
#anxiety #mentalillness #chronicillness #triggers #metoo
@Gargron See your point! And I'd agree. There's a lot of reasons for #cw, but also some against them.
Like: the decision about trigger categories, #triggers can vary much individually.You don't want to leave people out. Or you don't want to hide critical information and at the end of the day everything is political...
So my solution was seeing #cw as a sort of formalized thing, a useful container for #hashtags and keywords.
But there's also a downside. The layout becomes too monotonous and 1/2
In #Mastodon, #cw goes beyond the traditional definition of #contentwarning; it includes a lot of other #triggers that the people who created this #fediverse want to be able to anticipate or better still, avoid. Here’s a great video from @vantablack explaining what these triggers could be (they may not all be obvious to #neurotypical people: #politics #mentalhealth #anxiety #death #food #eyecontact #religion…) https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=ZXnMPzo4Q9w&feature=youtu.be
My content can be triggering for some people, so please be aware of it when you enter into this space. That is why most posts are for followers-only.
I also want to apologize for those requests I sent to private accounts. I was so eager to make this account visible, that I sent requests when they were not welcome. I feel really terrible for it (and I will feel better after some hours).
In this line, please be nice! Notice that I am still struggling with #triggers, #grief, #ptsd, #cptsd, etc
