In the beginning of episode 8, young Izzy finds an Injured/stressed bird, and brings it inside. The next scene is of it flying around inside, and the other kids chasing it with baseball bats, but it flies out the window and seems totally fine.

In a manner of speaking, yes. A man stares at a main character on the subway and then follows her when she gets off. His intentions are revealed to have been benign, but the scenes where he is watching and following her are foreshadowed in a nightmare before the viewer sees a flashback of what happened in real life.

Secrets and lies are a major theme of the show so there is naturally a lot of gaslighting from more than one character.

Although most of the alcohol use in the show is responsible, a main character often drinks to excess when she is upset, and engages in risky behaviors as a result.

There is a brief mention - a book club read a book that had rape as a minor theme. The leader starts as if she is going to read the part of the story but she does not.

This answer contains a spoiler:
Depending on your interpretation, yes. A main character has an agreement to act as a surrogate to a couple. Instead of giving the baby to the couple, she lies and says that she had a miscarriage and raises the baby herself.

A teenage character consistently talks about weight loss and dieting and consumes slim fast. While this might not count as an eating disorder, her behavior may still be triggering to those who have been through that.

One of the teenage characters is rumored to be a lesbian, and her peers and siblings tease her about it. The d-slur is thrown around, and people refer to her as Ellen (as in DeGeneres).
