Have you ever been 'triggered' by reading a book, watching a film or looking at some other form of art?

Yes, when it’s a reminder of the pain I’ve experienced or the pain of what I’ve missed.
I get triggered everytime i see in a movie, a man strangling a woman. My throat closes up and i can't breath and i have to close my eyes and put my hands overy ears, or walk out of the room.

Even now .... just texting this - i can feel it coz im thinking about it.

Hence i dont like violence in movies unless its something surreal like sci-fi or fantasy - something UNreal.

Anything related to sexual abuse triggers me. Movie, TV or books, I can’t stand how this misery is portrayed in very detailed way to make profit.

Yes, books, movies and series
Just reading some people׳s posts on here..
It happened only once when I was watching a movie with friends at cinema.
I had no idea my whole life would flash in front of me in just seconds
When I see a child being bullied in a school setting, either by other kids or by adults it brings up ugly memories and I become very angry. It’s why I tend to block the freaks here who have fetishes around that topic. 😞
Yes.

I have PTSD and there are things that do trigger it.

I ised to read a series but then one had a sexual assault of a character that meant i couldnt finish the aeties.

Certain films and programmes i won't watch

And this is triggered in the sense it takes me down a psychotic crisis not just upsets me
