I wish more people knew how affected our emotions and emotional responses are by ADHD. Everyone will experience their ADHD differently, so feel free to cross out what applies to you! I’ve only recently started externalizing emotions again and..it’s crazy how much energy I put into holding it all back - without great success. Here’s my patreon! (is this a smooth topic change?)
Oh wait now I get what triggers are
Yeah, see, THIS is a trigger. Something that prompts a horrible flashback that makes someone go into a literal panic attack. It is NOT something that makes you slightly uncomfortable, so can we all just stop tossing that word around like it’s nothing.
thank you Wreck It Ralph
Reblogging for valuable commentary
Also, can we talk about how Felix dealt with it? He NEVER used that word again (only once in front of Ralph, never by her), there was never any talk about how she could get over it, and in their wedding they all made plans to help her with her paranoia by recognising her fears and showing she was safe by pointing guns at the window and having extra security.
A++++++ on dealing with mental issues magnificently, Wreck-It Ralph!
Will never not reblog this when I see it
also this was the greatest 5 second character development in cinematic history
To add, sometimes when triggered you may not go into a full panic attack or flashback - the key thing is, it brings up the anxiety/panic/fear associated with a traumatic event.
yeah, that was my one problem with this post. saying that all triggers have to cause flashbacks and panic attacks is really ignorant and only alienate and invalidates those whose triggers don’t work like that. a trigger will rehash those FEELINGS felt during the traumatic event, whether is be pain, fear, anxiety, nausea, etc. this can happen with or without flashbacks, so no, triggers AREN’T just “flashbacks and panic attacks”.
however a trigger can be and usually is much more severe than a squick (discomfort with a topic or certain kind of content) and are directly related to past trauma or ptsd. squicks are being uncomfortable with something without it being directly tied to trauma. both are valid, but differentiating between them is incredibly important, and we do need to get to a point where we keep triggers and squicks apart.
