Do bad things trigger you down a spiral, like something on tv
They do me
I get intrusive thoughts and black and white thinking

Must be schizophrenia

I completely stopped watching the news from all the stuff I can’t believe is happening. I don’t really even like watching violent movies anymore. I mostly want to watch comedies. But my dad always wants to know what’s going on on the news so he has the news on and there’s just crazy stuff going on all the time but I ignore it.

I always think there trying to influence us into doing bad stuff by feeding us with negative crap

Sort of brainwashing

Or maybe im just extreme thinking here but

Yeah I know it’s like are they showing all this bad stuff to like warn us and show us how to take caution or something. And then with my situation like you were saying earlier it just triggers paranoia.

Yeah I see your point there too. I mean I don’t know if you ever watched Little House on the Prairie. But I grew up watching stuff like that. Stuff like that was pretty cool I guess I don’t know if it had undertones or anything to it.

I can get caught in feedback loops. I try to monitor myself to make sure that they are healthy.
