I think now is the time to discuss it. Triggered does not mean upset or offended.
In mental health terms, a trigger refers to something that affects your emotional state, often significantly, by causing extreme overwhelm or distress.
A trigger is a reminder of a past trauma. This reminder can cause a person to feel overwhelming sadness, anxiety, or panic. It may also cause someone to have flashbacks. ... It can cause someone to lose track of their surroundings and “relive” a traumatic event.
Please. When you use this word/phrase remember it actually has a very heavy definition in mental health terms where it’s derived from. It’s not a joke.
