I’ve read posts hear where people talk about their triggers. What does that mean? Is it what gets your schizophrenia stirred up? Just curious. I think I had a trigger this week. I did not have psychosis, but deciding to take a part-time or full-time job sent my one and only voice on a rampage and I was upset for two days. Anyway, would that be considered a trigger?
Thanks.
I thought it was something that triggered a very bad response in someone’s mental health,
I was triggered badly recently and i am only just getting over it, i panicked and hyperventilated multiple times, screaming and unable to control it.
It is something that sparks your symptoms. 
Thanks for answering. I must have been triggered then. I’m sorry to hear that happened. I’m glad you’re getting over it now.
I worry i trigger people here sometimes, its not intentional but it happens, people are different and say different things, one person could trigger another without even knowing why,
I was told some of my posts were triggering but I couldn’t work out why, I have some differences of opinions but I don’t think that should be an issue, not everyone is going to agree on everything.
When a co-worker uses the words, “schizophrenic”, “crazy”, “psychotic” or “paranoid” triggers me but I ignore the words. I focus on my work.
Something that triggers someones symptoms.
I am slowly controlling my triggers, used to have a lot. Recently aliens and superpowers don’t trigger me anymore but horror and religion still does.
I have been watching lots of Marvel movies lately while they used to trigger me before.
We hear about triggers all the time in recovery. Seeing beer/alcohol commercials on tv triggers me to drink. That’s another reason I listen to the radio instead of watching tv.
Weed talk used to trigger me in the sense it made me want weed eventhough it made psychotic. But lately it doesn’t, I got over it and weed talk doesn’t trigger me anymore.
I don’t get triggered by anything other than if my freedom is going to be taken away, like being locked up in a psych ward for example, I hate that.
Horror triggers me the most. I can’t sleep because of it as I get scary mental images and sensations, also nightmares. Once I wokeup in bed feeling that someone touched my back creepily and I saw a rotting human body when I turned my head to see it. It was a hallucination.
@SpringRose @Aziz. I haven’t watched the Super Bowl in years now. I don’t really want to try again because I drank the last time I went into the liquor store to buy some cigarettes for a friend. July 24th I’ll be one year sober.
I hated being in the hospital. I went there for a diagnosis not realizing they take your rights away. Not cool. I was there for eight days.
Congrats on being sober.
