You know what it is? I'm afraid to say I'm okay, or mostly okay, because that means I don't get to use it as an excuse for keeping my distance. I'm afraid because it means I don't get to delay and dodge. Because what if I get triggered in person, in bed? (Hasn't been a concern before, really - I took a long vacation from being involved in sexual relationships.) And as far as triggers go - I haven't found any that don't relate directly to The Ex and he's gone, but there's places I haven't gone poking through yet.
(The weird thing is that I don't seem to have any general triggers, at least in the sense that makes people put trigger warnings on their writing. There's stuff that I will skip or skim because it makes me more sick or angry than I want to deal with at that moment, but the only time I can say I've been triggered was a scene in The Ex's novel, and I read that before he raped me.)
So I guess I'm okay enough, but a little too self-analytical for my own good. At least I've learned about how not to scare the people on the other side of the computer too badly when I talk about stuff.
