I understand the idea of shielding people from content that would be upsetting, but my own experience is, that I feel a little anxious as soon as I read Trigger Warning [...].

How is your experience with it? Are you happy with it, or do you thing there are better ways to address dark topics?

I absolutely appreciate them. They give me the chance to decide for myself whether to engage with a topic, depending on where I'm at. Suicide is often hard for me to deal with, due to my own family circumstances, so sometimes I want to get in and help people who are struggling, but other times, I just need to avoid the discussion for my own wellbeing. Content warnings give me the opportunity to make that choice
