Television is triggering

Do you find television triggering? I’m trying to watch Moonknight, but it makes me uncomfortable/anxious in my own body—reminds me of when I was deep psychosis.

Suggest avoiding anything you find really triggering. My kid likes documentaries on aliens and UFOs. They wake up the bad parts of my brain - I leave the room immediately when she puts one on.

I love tv shows about paranormal things, like ghosts or demons, but it triggers bad things in my brain.
I want to watch Lucifer, I find it really interesting and well writen, but demon/devil stuff takes me right down the rabbithole of delusion.
And I hate it.

Yeah I feel like I’m locked out of religious topics sometimes because they make me delusional. Anything involving hell or satan is a no go for me. But I do get triggered by certain movies or shows, like the new matrix movie, which i couldn’t even finish because it checked every box in terms of things i’m delusional about. That scene where they wandered out of the matrix on hallucinogens is something i still think about because some part of me feels that it is possible, but idk.

My mom loves watching crime/murder shows. It triggers my paranoia. I leave the room when she puts them on.

TV does trigger me, I don’t watch it. The news or violence or sex is the worst.

Not exactly, but I’m pretty sure I experience better mental health if I don’t watch too much tv in general.

Not all tv does so if I’m getting triggered I just turn it off or switch to something like a comedy to help me get my mind off it quickly

I feel attacked by some actors and I am unable to watch a lot on tv.

I felt the journalist in inventing Anna was trying to dominate anc supress me so although the shoe was good I couldn’t watch it because of that one actress.

Couldn’t watch the originals even though I bought it .
Because of cam and davina.

Most shows I can’t watch.

I’m watching lock n key now and so far I’ve been able to watch it n the actors.

Also watching north anc south and can watch those actors too.

I don’t watch normal tv or news.
Was like that with news presenters too.

Like they have sometimes hit me through screen like with energy like hit me on head.

Mainly just attack with bad vibes wanting to dominate and supress me.

I don’t want to be treated way.
It’s not ok.
Specially not when I paid for the dvd etc.

It’s difficult finding stuff for me to watch now.

I’ve had my smart tv plugged in for a week. It has triggered me in the past. I thought it was hacked.

The science channel has a lot of shows about Hitler’s war machine and I don’t like it much. I listened to Victor Frankl’s MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING on audiobook and didn’t get upset. Years ago WW2 was too much for me. I’m thinking about reading another book by a holocaust survivor. I won’t cry now, my voices made me hard.

I can’t handle television too frequently. Certain thematics are triggering. I prefer reading.
