The most "triggery" thing I experienced is one of the films you would least expect, and not even a particularly good film - Ghost. I saw it on the night that a good friend had his life-support machine turned off and I cried through it, proceeded to get extremely drunk and screwed up, but then I coped with his death. The idea is to look into the abyss and say fuck-you; if I avoided everything that "triggered" me, having been close to suicides, a survivor myself, and to murders, I would have to dig a hole and hide in it until the end of time. Avoidance is denial and I will not be made weaker in this way. Thank you for your words and your memories and may you keep on doing it.
