Although I can see that you are trying very hard to help anyway you can and that is awesome. Just be careful to not take triggers on as your responsibility. Remember that triggers can be any sight, smell, touch, or thing; you can't avoid him being triggered. It's not good to try to tip toe around his triggers. It's not your responsibility to avoid triggers for him. It's his responsibility to know his triggers and to learn how to manage them. You also don't trigger him but rather he was triggered. Remembering that helps you and your own mental health.and how I need to act, and help.... by not mentioning things that may trigger him
Just a reminder. I see supporters on here trying to avoid triggers for their sufferer and it's just not possible, not your responsibility, and tip toeing around someone's triggers isn't good for your own mental health. Remember that you are the most important thing to you. Don't take his triggers on as your responsibility. They aren't your responsibility. They are his.
I think you trying to learn as much as you can after a week is admirable. But remember that you are the most important thing here. I think that is one of the most important lessons for anyone. Learning to put yourself first!
