kinda tangenty though. I get that triggers specifically refers to something that sets you off into a trauma flashback type state. but what is the term for the more subtle thing, where something just vividly replants something into your head, and makes it more likely for it to turn up in your headspace and fuck you up?


Specifially, I'm a major depressive with history of self harm. I accidentally read a story including pretty vivid examples of these things, and although it did not in any way set off my current mntal shitstorm, it kinda set the tone, and increased the frequency of related thoughts in this episode.Even before my episode started, i hadnoticed the themes in the story staying with me. IS THERE A WORD FOR THAT?

slightly better today. primary symptoms are irritation towards everyone, and feeling like screaming, but being scared that if i start to scream, i will never stop.
