some people with ptsd / other mental health issues can have panic attacks or other bad stuff because of triggers, and in trigger warning people put most common triggers ( some of them can even make people without ptsd uncomfortable) . Im sorry if I explained it weird or wrong, Im really bad in explaining things

i can see that, but how can something so small (like a slightly out-of-the-ordinary topic) trigger someone?

can you say some examples? I dont really get into what you are saying

one example is the weirdcore page, which has a trigger warning because the page is related to topics such as "dissociation/derealization/depersonalization"

i do not see how these topics can trigger people

some people with listed disorders can trigger derealization/ depersonalisation by triggers ( like panic attacks and ptsd ). I dont really understand how it works ( Im not a therapist or psychologist) so you can seach information on google, for better explaination.

alright then. thank you for the help

you are welcome! Have a great day

(Saturn, any pronouns) hi! someone who is sometimes triggered by "dissociation/derealization/depersonalization", I am diagnosed with psychosis and I have interacted with people in the psychotic spectrum, normally we have episodes where we:

1. Feel reality is fake (for example, in one episode, I have touched my skin and it didn't feel like my skin normally, but more like I was in anesthesia)

2. Feel we are in another reality (for example, I have felt like I'm in a void)

3. Have delusions or hallucinations, which are not real (for example, I had delusions of grandeur, where I feel like I'm a literal king and I'm above everyone, or I had hallucinations of shadows following me)

4. Feel paranoid about our surroundings (for example, I have felt like other people are someone else in disguise, and are trying to hurt me)

At least those are the general experiences + mine, but ofc, there's more to it and everyone can experience things in their own special way

Weirdcore can remind one of their episodes, like hallucinations of people with eye heads, or the paranoia of being in an eerie place, and while just remembering those episodes can cause distress, it can also trigger a dissociation, "are those eye beings following me?" or "I have been in a place similar to those images, does it mean those places were never real?", and mostly those episodes don't feel pleasant at all, and even if they do, it's never a good thing to be disconnected from reality as it can trigger long-lasting delusions and interrupt one's routine

It may be difficult to understand *why* we feel that way, like "how can that trigger someone to feel that way?", and to be honest, I don't understand completely either, but not everyone's mind is the same, every mind can react differently to stress, especially when one is mentally ill or suffered from trauma, psychology sure is interesting
