Trigger warning


a warning often found on blogs to warn people who could have panic attacks or other extremely negative reactions to words or situations that these “triggers” will be mentioned in the text/video/alternate form of media. this is meant to prevent said person/people from becoming upset due to ptsd or other mental disorders.

a common misconception is that triggers are just made up for oversensitive and stupid people and should not be taken seriously or even mocked. however, this is disrespectful and mocking mental disorders and their sypmtoms is extremely rude and a terrible thing to do.
trigger warning for mentions of rape and suicidal thoughts.
