For the longest time, I thought "TW" meant, "I am in a triggered state. Please be gentle with me." I know better now, but still find I like the idea of being able to warn the group of fragile states. A couple ideas of my own:
GR. Gentleness Request
FF. Feeling Fragile
Thoughts? Ideas?

Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...

Works for me.
I could use that. My Wednesday class is getting so loud. In the discussions of the topics and just the topics. I barely made it through, covering my ears and then came home shaking.
This is the same group from Mondays class, but that day has a different teacher, they are much calmer there.
Gentle handling on its way.
Having that there always is good for me.
Then there are days in which a GR tag or an FF tag would be extra good. Like everybody else, I have those days, those moments.
For example, some of us in the past have posted before a regular doctor's appointment. I know Leo won't mind if I say she did once, and I did so myself, too. For some of us sometimes, the night before going to a regular doctor's appointment and being handled triggers some PTSD anxiety.
For example, for me tonight's one of those nights. Tomorrow I have an MRI at the hospital in the morning. They're trying to find where my internal bleeding is coming from.
So tonight I'm FF myself.
It's up to the group, but I hope we adopt those, too.
