      @@susancharles4286 This person was over reacting, I went through it just like they did and seeing the cuts was kind of a trigger too, but this comment put me more at ease to know that people noticed and care so this person typing in all caps and going off on this person need to calm down and if it was such a trigger for them then they should get therepy instead of being rude to others because that doesn't help.
