A parent saying turn off the hose leads to you were asking for it. My piss boiled to temperatures I never thought possible when I read that.
Tumblr has apparently made a macro image meme out of trauma related disorders.

A lot of them are mistaking being upset for trauma. Teenagers are hormonal and mood swings can feel like the end of the world when you're 14, we all know tumblr culture doesn't help that by saying a crying fit because your mom cooked turkey instead of your favorite food is abuse. TW: Turkey Dinner, TW: Carrots.
And ugh. That woman. I've had clients be on FB and get that woman's picture as a reply when they talk about PTSD or dare mention if they have it.
It's a shame when they don't grow out of that yet.I know right? I remember flipping out and thinking my mother was abusive for not allowing me to sleep over a friend's house.Teenagers think everything is a tragedy. (A year later I became friends with a guy who had been molested by his stepdad. Jesus)

Wow guys, I didn't know someone could possibly ruin tigers, but they sure found a way.
Repressed memories do not exist. They're either false memories or memories that are forgotten and remembered later just like normal memories. The latter usually happens when someone is very young and thus is poor and remembering things, because the brain isn't developed enough yet to be good at keeping memories. It's not that the brain is trying to protect itself from trauma. The problem with traumatic memories is that you can't forget, no matter how much you try to. I won't get TL;DR here, though I was considering a post in Deep Thoughts about DID and repressed memory, which I will do if you want. If not, but you wanna know more, check out Elizabeth Loftus as a starting point.
I've seen someone who was triggered by the sky.
I remember someone whose PTSD got triggered when she saw Vannelope from Wreck-It Ralph for some dumb fucking reason
Geez, I wonder if people can get triggered by Metric conversions?I once saw a person trigger warn for money. I also saw another person trigger warn for the color orange and British guys.
