If someone hasn't yet answered this, I'll make an attempt to do so.....

Triggers can be any thing that can be emotionally distressing to a person.

Since it can be anything, this guideline is focused on some of the more obvious topics that can be triggering:

-suicide
-cutting
-many abuse topics (e.g., those that are graphic in description)
-flashing graphics

I hope that clarifies things.

I do have one question and it involves "triggers". I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could someone explain it to me and also where do you get the trigger icon?
