how to deal with triggering posts?

im wondering how other people cope when they come to read a triggering thread/post?

when i start to read triggering posts and when i cant answer it or feel helpless to post it really sets my anxiety off
i know its not up to me how people respond or feel etc and thats why we do have the moderators to monitor as well but it still really sets my anxiety off,

i feel if i leave the convo then im aboandoning that person

im wondering how other members cope with triggering posts?

HI @Owlunar @outlander @Former-Member @Fancy_Pants

Great topic Outlander.

I just wanted to add to this convo that there are some self care resources here

We also went into more depth about taking care of yourself while supporting others in a past Topic Tuesday, which you can read over here

Hope they are helpful.

Nik
