Re-experiencing Symptoms:Trauma survivors commonly re-experience their traumas. This means that the survivorexperiences again the same mental, emotional, and physical experiences that occurred during orjust after the trauma. These include thinking about the trauma, seeing images of the event,feeling agitated, and having physical sensations like those that occurred during the trauma.Trauma survivors find themselves feeling as if they are in danger, experiencing panic sensations,wanting to escape, getting angry, and thinking about attacking or harming someone else. Becausethey are anxious and physically agitated, they may have trouble sleeping and concentrating. Thesurvivor usually can't control these symptoms or stop them from happening. Mentally reexperiencing the trauma can include:• Upsetting memories such as images or thoughts about the trauma• Feeling as if the trauma is happening again (flashbacks)• Bad dreams and nightmares• Getting upset when reminded about the trauma (by something the person sees, hears, feels,smells, or tastes)• Anxiety or fear, feeling in danger again• Anger or aggressive feelings and feeling the need to defend oneself• Trouble controlling emotions because reminders lead to sudden anxiety, anger, or upset• Trouble concentrating or thinking clearlyPeople also can have physical reactions to trauma reminders such as:• Trouble falling or staying asleep• Feeling agitated and constantly on the lookout for danger• Getting very startled by loud noises or something or someone coming up on you frombehind when you don't expect it• Feeling shaky and sweaty• Having your heart pound or having trouble breathing

Yer dumb. I'm talking about people hollering "TRIGGER!!!!!" on Internet discussion groups, which is a new and fairly obnoxious phenomenon.

how the fuck is that any different, you realize that PTSD survivors are allowed to find each other online and make some protocol for themselves and openly talk about triggers like it's something people should respect and not poke fun at, you know you don't need a doctor's note for that right

i'm not going to take this to any thread because there's no point in it, i'm done

definitely a place to make fun of survivors though
― infirm neophytic child (zachlyon), Saturday, 4 May 2013 19:07 (eleven years ago) link
Nope. I make fun of people who wear their problems like hats. You presume so much about my relationship to PTSD that you are starting to piss me off, and all of it is wrong. Leave it, jerk.

Trigger warnings are good. Ptsd trauma is a real thing. I dont understand what youre saying T.W.U... why wouldnt you just take someones word for it if they say something is triggering?

lol yeah what? it would make sense if he was a bedpan or something but i can't see the pot-toilet connection
― chilli, Sunday, 5 May 2013 02:05 (eleven years ago) link
A chamber pot (also a chamberpot, a jordan,[1] a jerry, a po (possibly from French: pot de chambre), a gazunder (likely a contraction of "goes under"), a piss pot, a potty, or a thunder pot) is a bowl-shaped container with a handle, and often a lid, kept in the bedroom under a bed or in the cabinet of a nightstand and generally used as a toilet at night.

I have mixed feelings about circumcision fwiw, but jfc at anyone calling himself a "survivor" of it. No idea whether Carlin actually said this.

I think it was actually Bob Marley.
