Just curious if anyone has watched this on Netflix?
I'm interested in seeing it but wondering how triggering it could be?

Hi @Ali585

I have watched it, and it is quite confronting and graphic so may be triggering but it is one of the best series I have watched

Unfortunately I have found it quite triggering. Going to do something else/watch something else to take my mind off things.

I watched it. I found it to be triggering but not in a bad way. I think it reveals true struggles that people have, and it personally helped me see my issues in retrospect. It has really got me thinking.

I. have watched it . I think it concerns me a bit that it's aimed at teenagers. I found it a bit graphic and too close to home in many ways but also knew it wasn't really going to be a good thing to watch. I do worry that it almost makes the suicide look reasonable or justified... That of course you can't cope with all that awful stuff... But not in a great frame of mind tob start with whichb may be skewing my thoughts. However if any one does find it especially triggering don't forget the crisis lines like life line or suicide call back line.

I am going to watch it. Partly because I am interested in the story, but partly because I am curious as to how it will make me feel. I'm kinda worried that I won't be triggered, as others' have mentioned they might be, but that I might feel nothing at all due to dissociation etc. I'm not sure which outcome is worse..?

It made me very sad and down, but not distressed... It reminded me of the way I felt when I first read 'The Bell Jar'. I kind of sat there thinking... and? Is this supposed to be an odd experience?

I feel like it would be more profound and distressing for people who don't have a sense of what MI is... as we can relate in a way? If you know what I mean?

I thought it was really good. It did make me feel really sad, but I think that shows it is successful in what it set out to achieve.
