This sounds like a load of mularky! I think not
Yeah a lot of movies and tv shows set me off. But so many things set me off that if I were to remove all of them from my life I’d basically be living in a small white room with nothing to do all day.

There isn’t an aspect of my thoughts left that psychosis hasn’t somehow infiltrated. Literally everything I ever thought of felt can be a reminder of something from my psychosis. It’s a horror show
I grew up in NYC, left for 2 years while I was in the Navy (1981-1983), then came back to NYC. I spent most of my time in Greenwich Village, and almost all of my friends were gay. I was a letter writer for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). When LGBT characters were portrayed in a negative light I would write a letter to whoever was in charge of that studio (ABC, CBS, NBC, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, etc.). Well, slowly but surely, LGBT characters were no longer serial killers and drug addicts who were killed off in the first episode or the first ten minutes of a film. Sure, we had the “sassy” gay friend, but we demanded more. Much more. We demanded that LGBT characters be portrayed in the same light as straight characters, and we’ve seen significant progress towards that goal.
Even without an organization (that I’m aware of) like GLAAD, characters with mental illness on television and film have transitioned from bit-part, demonized figures to compelling main characters living with mental illness. (Jennifer Aniston’s realistic portrayal of a woman with depression in the film Cake was nothing short of beautiful.) We have made progress in regards to characters with mental illness on television and film, but this is not the time to be complacent. Schizophrenia seems to be the last taboo, and we must all do our part to change that. We deserve no less.

no. i catch a little 24-hour news once a week at my dad’s and watch a movie about every four months. still crazy.
I don’t think TV or movies do anything, one way or the other to my mental illness. I think my whole world is staged, including TV and movies, but I also think school is staged and the people at Starbucks and the restaurant etc. etc.
I don’t think Hollywood is hurting me, specifically
