i wish the general population never learned the word "triggered" because as someone who actually gets triggered and needs to communicate that, it's been watered down and almost sounds like edgelord nonsense now even when i have to use it.

let this be a psa to stop using that term unless you are actually talking about having a trauma response. i hate it and when people use it jokingly i feel uncomfortable around them

trigger for me is something like:
visceral reaction of instant dread and dark dark thoughts.
instantly not caring to be alive anymore.

I stopped saying "my OCD" because of me having similar thoughts as you about "trigger".
