I know many sexual assault survivors are fighting their own demons now. "Being triggered" is a real thing that survivors deal with all the time. It is something that brings up flashbacks and memories and you try to avoid it because you know what it does to you. Sometimes you try to walk a line between staying informed and being lost in your own past trauma.  

I battled flashbacks today. All it took was reading one sentence. I know what is happening in the world. But I turned off all the news, and I watched cartoons. If you need to do that, DO THAT. Keep yourself protected, you can help no one if you do not.
