Rules of Trigger topics

[Thales Nestis]

Trigger (n): An object or situation that can cause your phobia symptoms to appear.

Note: It is not something that mildly offends someone or makes them irritated. It is a very serious problem associated with phobias, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders. It should not be confused with general anxiety or irritation.

These topics should be avoided, especially when in the CB. No one likes to be having a conversation and then suddenly have someone else mention something that will trigger them into an anxiety attack. The topics listed below have been mentioned at some point int he CB and have been known to cause anxiety for other members.

It should be obvious that some of these topics should always be avoided unless in very serious and adult conversation. They should not be mentioned lightly.

Topics in red mean they should be avoided entirely. Topics in orange are known to cause stress to some members (names will be listed) and should be avoided unless said otherwise.

If you do not know what some of these topics are, or do not know the extent of the anxiety caused by them, please PM an admin for clarification.


Rape
Self Harm
Suicide
Death
Depression
Abuse/Neglect/Abandonment
Sexual Abuse (Showing how important it is even on its own)
Pop-up horror images
Mental Illness(this includes naming your own)
Weight
Cancer



We should note too that if you would like your triggers added or you names added to any of the orange topics please PM an admin and we will modify the list immediately. If the item you want added to the list is already against the rules it will not be added to the list because people aren't allowed to behave that way anyways.
