S6E20: Might be referring to a scene where a couple has an argument and, as the guy is turning around, he accidentally slaps her. He doesn't do it intentionally, but it seems like this is the thing that ends their relationship.

Both specifically in S2E16 with Carrie dating a recovering alcoholic, Carrie herself is also implied to be addicted to cigarettes, as she struggles throughout S3 to quit for a guy who doesn't smoke.

Season 4 episode 3 there is a guy who pees and poos into the toilet while another character is in the bathroom. You can hear it happening so if that is a trigger you may want to avoid this episode.

S2 E17- the girls are at a beach bonfire and some background characters vomit - it’s quick and not super gory
Also this episode: Carrie sees Big at a party in the Hamptons and after talking to him runs to the beach. Miranda comes to check on her and she abruptly vomits. It’s at the very end of the episode.
S4 E12 - Carrie finds an engagement ring in a workout bag and runs to her sink and vomits. Kind of gross- as an emetephobe I close my eyes.
Same episode- Miranda is on the phone with Carrie and asks her to hold on one second and we can see her lean over the toilet and hear a sound. You can’t see any vomit.

S6E10: Carrie sees a man who we later find out has admitted himself into a mental institution. Carrie visits him in the institution, and while the scene depicts the institution itself as being both calming and therapeutic for him, he admits that it's intensive. You get a brief scene where a man (not the one Carrie is seeing) is being restrained at the institution.

Usually as a joke, characters will suggest they kill themselves in embarrassing situations (i.e. S3E13 Carrie says "should we just get two guns and kill ourselves?" when her and Charlotte are talking about difficult situations in their relationships).

Season 4 episode 4 has a really unfortunate and ridiculous portrayal of a man with ADHD. A main character then decides she can't date the man because of his ADHD.
There are multiple episodes where a character will date someone who has a mental illness. The person with a mental illness is then described as being undesirable for reasons relating to the mental illness, or the mental illness creates an insurmountable dating obstacle. Episodes include season 1 episode 11 The Drought, season 2 episode 13 Games People Play, season 2 episode 16 Was It Good For You, and season 6 episode 10, Boy Interrupted.

S3E18: Carrie does multiple voice-overs throughout the episode where she refers to a group of trans women in Samantha’s neighborhood as “half men, half women”, and frequently refers to them as men with he/him pronouns.
Towards the end of the ep, the girls make a joke about crude language in front of ladies, to which Miranda replies "Where?" (referring to the trans women they invited to a party).

In an episode, Carrie is held at gunpoint and robbed. This scene is comedic in tone, however.
