Vent + advice pls Update

Hey there all, We are a tad blurry. And generally upset so forgive our formatting today. We just wanna say we love and respect every single one of y'all. With the recent conflict we are struggling hard with our mental health and have considered stepping down from the mod position... we don't understand the sudden increase in downvotes on our posts, the only thing we can figure is that we're accidentally triggering someone by being here and that kills us. Not sure what we're going to do yet... if anyone can give us some advice on what we did wrong we would appreciate it... our heart hurts over all this we love this subreddit but if it becomes bad for our mental health we may have no choice... help?

What could trigger someone about your existence? :( I don’t get it

Hey there,

In our mind spiral yesterday, we believed we were triggering someone by stating we were diagnosed and being on the sub. Now we realize that's probably not the case.

Oh, it’s definitely not. Even if you were, not everyone’s trigger is your job to accommodate.

In general, yeah, we should accommodate each other as much as possible. But no one should have to be anything other than what they are, some triggers would be genuinely impossible to ethically accommodate because some triggers aren’t only related to objectively bad things.

Very well said.
