how neurotypicals think triggers work

i had a traumatic experience but i’m 100% fine and never think about it

unless i see a neurotypical-approved trigger

then i will remember it all of a sudden and have a horrible panic attack

how triggers actually work

i had a traumatic experience and the long-time effects of trauma influence my life every day

seriously, no one forgets about a traumatic experience

(unless they repress those memories completely)

a trigger is something that makes those memories resurface

triggers can be anything; words, phrases, smells, symbols, colours, things that seem ridiculous to you but to me have a connection to my traumatic experience that i am not obligated to explain just because you think i’m “tossing the word trigger around like it’s nothing”

reactions to triggers can range from slight discomfort to severe panic attacks; none of these reactions are less valid because they’re not ‘bad enough’

my general mental health influences how i respond to a trigger. the same trigger might not bother me on a good day but make me suffer from paranoia and anxiety on a bad day. it is still always a trigger.

veterans are not the only ones suffering from ptsd. “war” is not the only real trigger. 

mocking triggers (no matter how silly they seem to you) means mocking and disrespecting everyone who had a traumatic experience and asks people to tag triggers because they don’t want the memories to resurface more than they already do anyway

you’re not my therapist. you have no say in what triggers me and how i am supposed to deal with that. 

so if i ask people to tag penguins, but don’t feel comfortable telling everyone that the reason for this is that they are my abuser’s favourite animals which they often talked about (when they weren’t hitting me, locking me up and letting me starve, and telling me i deserve it), you have absolutely no right to make fun of that

bye

“oops, am i in the way? let just me move over for you-”

and there she goes, knocking her head on the doorframe.

kasaiko gave a soft chuckle as the statue of a woman hit her head , she’d been helping her bring up groceries since the accident , that left her with a gunshot wound in the side . or at least she was still keeping up the act , it had been roughly a month since she brought home the five tots , she only  ever did this during their nap hour because the last thing she needed was someone questioning why there was a crying child in her house dispite her never being seen with any kids . her eyes flickered as she gave a small snort of a laugh . as she headed to the counter with a smaller bag as not to raise suspicion.

“ th-thank you , sorry about your head . . . do , do you need some ice for that ? “

Snufkin: What makes you so sure?

Little My: Because I’m the oldest, which means I’m always right.

Moomin: No, it doesn’t.

Snufkin: It totally does.

skyrim is a bad game because i cant hug my friends or my husband. maybe i want to let the people in my life know i appreciate them dearly even if they just have three lines of base dialogue

can we take a moment to just think about how incredibly scary magical healing is in-context?

You get your insides ripped open but your friend waves his hands and your flesh just pulls back together, agony and evisceration pulling back to a ‘kinda hurts’ level of pain and you’re physically whole, with the 100% expectation that you’ll get back up and keep fighting whatever it was that struck you down the first time.

You break your arm after falling somewhere and after you’re healed instead of looking for ‘another way around’ everybody just looks at you and goes “okay try again”.

You’ve been fighting for hours, you’re hungry, thirsty, bleeding, crying from exhaustion, and a hand-wave happens and only two of those things go away. you’re still hungry, you’re still weak from thirst, but the handwave means you have ‘no excuse’ to stop.

You act out aggressively maybe punch a wall or gnash your teeth or hit your head on something and it’s hand-waved because it’s ‘such a small injury you probably can’t even feel it anymore’ but the point was that you felt it at all?

Your pain literally means nothing because as long as you’re not bleeding you’re not injured, right? Here drink this potion and who cares about the emotional exhaustion of that butchered village, why are you so reserved in camp don’t you think it’s fun retelling that time you fell through a burning building and with a hand-wave you got back up again and ran out with those two kids and their dog? 

Older warriors who get a shiver around magic-users not because of the whole ‘fireball’ thing but the ‘I don’t know what a normal pain tolerance is anymore’ effect of too much healing. Permanent paralysis and loss of sensation in limbs is pretty much a given in the later years of any fighter’s life. Did I have a stroke or did the mage just heal too hard and now this side of my face doesn’t work? No i’m not dead from the dragon’s claws but I can’t even bend my torso anymore because of how the scar tissue grew out of me like a vine.

Magical healing is great and keeps casualties down.

But man.

That stuff is scary.

Snork: Knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit.

Snufkin: Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

Moomin: Philosophy is wondering whether that makes ketchup a smoothie.

Little My: Common sense is knowing that ketchup isn't a fucking smoothie.
