Her mother is arguably abusing the protagonist (though she is not underage).

Nina’s mother attempts to hold her down to prevent her from going into work during a psychotic break. It doesn’t work.

There is a nonconsensual kiss fairly early on in the film, and several other scenes depict a character receiving unwanted sexual comments or gestures. A character is also shown engaging in sexual activity (although it is later revealed to have been a fantasy) after drinking and taking drugs, which could be considered sexual assault in that she is unable to consent.

Nina’s mother trims her nails with scissors. It isn’t explicitly shown, but judging by Nina’s reaction, she’s cut at least once.

In one of the scenes the protagonist's eye gets discoloured, (similar to a swan's eye maybe).

It's part of the dance choreography, it's not the cause of injury, and she falls on a safety mattress.

Not literally, but some scenes can be interpreted that way that the protagonist is kind of 'possessed by the spirit of the black swan' or something. It's not literal demon possession, but it has similar imegary/feel.

There’s three v* scenes in the film, but it’s a good movie, so I hope you guys can enjoy the movie with these time stamps my friend gave me! I’ve added some detail so it’s easier to see it coming.
the first takes place at 15:03. after auditioning for the roll of the White Swan, Nina leaves the room. It then cuts to her getting sick in a bathroom stall- but only her feet are seen. There’s audio, but it’s not very graphic, as we don’t hear the gagging.
The second scene is at about 1:14:00 to 1:14:11 (sorry, I don’t have a more precise time stamp for that one) when she is sick in the toilet again, and the cut to it is very sudden. Before we see her getting sick, she’s in rehearsals dancing. We see Nina look to Thomas, who instead watches Lily. It cuts back to Nina, and then after a moment, to her getting sick. there’s audio for sure, and we see her head over the toilet, but I looked away so I’m not sure how graphic the visuals are.
The last is audio and visual at 1:23:28-1:23:44. Nina is in kitchen of her apartment- where she sees someone- and then runs to the bathroom to get sick, so it’s easy to see coming. when you hear her say ‘mommy?’ you’re safe to look.

Nina hallucinates(?) about harming other dancers, gets physically violent with her mother, and eventually severely harms herself.

There is some body horror in some scenes throughout. As for BD it’s not super explicit but the main character eats very little and is very worried over eating one piece of cake, later it is mentioned that she has lost weight. She throws up throughout the film but it’s probably more due to stress than an ED though it could still be triggering.

Debatably. The main character stabs herself and later falls unconscious, but it's not made clear if she survives or not.

The main character is very thin and is shown vomiting several times, implying that she may have a purging disorder, although this is never explicitly confirmed.

I would say the main character is struggling with childhood trauma. Although it is not addressed directly.

There are varying degrees of shaky cam throughout the whole film. I wouldn't recommend watching this one if shaky cam bothers you.

kinda, on the ace-side. Not explicit, but there are references to sex and how being a virgin could be "embarassing". The main character's sexuality is a main topic and even if't not known if it's because she's queer/on the ace-spectrum or not, I think this movie does not think about the possibilities of ace indentities or such

Some are pretty long, others shorter. It is very sexual throughout it can be pretty graphic but there is no shown nudity

There are undertones.
Nina has no privacy in her own bedroom, her mother frequently helps her undress and comes into her bedroom every night, and during a hallucinated sexual encounter, the woman Nina’s sleeping with calls her “sweet girl” (Nina’s mother’s pet name for her.)
Nothing is explicitly confirmed, but if it’s a trigger for you, you may wanna skip this one.

The director has confirmed that Nina doesn’t actually die, but the ending scene itself leaves it ambiguous—and Nina will certainly need treatment after injuring herself during an episode of psychosis, so her future in the ballet is unknown.

Multiple instances of gore throughout the film. Often it can be attributed to Nina hallucinating in her paranoia, but other times it is most likely literal, such as Nina's self-harm. There is also a scene where Nina visits a fellow dancer in the hospital, and a graphic, stitched-up wound is shown clearly.
