I am so sorry you witnessed that, the current genocide going on has been horrific. Please try to remember the more you try to force a thought out of your head the more it will replay, it’s difficult to ignore something so disgusting but you have to let it pass. Maybe try doing some work to counteract the current events? There are many charities like the PCRF that donate to stop this type of thing from happening. You can’t change what you’ve seen but you can work to save others. :-)
Just know that yes this is a sad time for over there but also remember that it could be photoshopped or AI. We do not know how many photos on the internet are actually real. Give yourself some grace.
Nothing in Gaza is photoshopped or AI generated though.
someone please help its really sickening me
@kksilly I had a similar struggle earlier this week. I am treadling lightly on twitter for this very reason. What do you feel like you need?
Basically I’ve been seeing a lot of content about Palestine lately and I wanna help as much as I can. But everytime I’m doing things like taking a shower or doing work or completing a hobby or other thing I have to do, I get intrusive thoughts saying “you’re a terrible person, you could be doing stuff to help the people in Palestine right now.” Am I a terrible person? Please help. I’m aware that interacting can help others come across the video and even more content even after you’re no longer on the app, but I still get scared anyway. Am I a bad person? I need help immediately I feel terrible
Was just remembering and ruminating on extremely traumatic and disturbing drawings I looked at as a teen. I'm trying to move past it because I cannot go back and unsee what I've seen, it's so difficult though. Feeling like people would look at me with disgust and I don't deserve the love that I crave desperately.
I shouldn’t have done this (trigger trigger trigger!!) So about a month ago..maybe I watched this video (as a compulsion to prove to myself) The video was called “interview with a p3d0” And basically it was what it says, I watched or more like listened to half of it…after I was disgusted by the person, but now all I can think of is every little thing I do, I feel as if tho I’m monitoring every thought/moment and feeling I have it’s torturous and I hate it..I feel disgusting, the person in the video has empathy and sympathy and had those feelings yk, I can’t explain it you’d have to watch the video yourself but please don’t it will ruin your journey…I feel more hopeless then before, my OCD is telling me so many things trying to convince me things that Ik aren’t true, I’m just really scared I don’t want to be that person I want to be a good cousin and person to my family, I’m sick of my head and myself, I’m so tired that sometimes I can’t even think straight, my head is always in pain and idek how to help myself..compulsions have been becoming more and more exhausting… I need advice or even someone to relate to, I understand I shouldn’t have done what I did but idk how to forget it.. I had made this post already but when someone replied I couldn’t see it for some reason so I’m uploading it again
