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?
I was going through my old account (I had when I was 12-13) I noticed I was following this little kid that was like trying to flex, and my brain keeps saying weird things, I feel so uncomfortable rn, I keep yelling at it to shut up, pls help guys
i always want to watch new tv shows and lately especially i’ve been getting triggered by a lot of them. anyone else experience this? it gets to the point that i feel like i can’t continue watching the show or i’m doing something wrong, even if i enjoy it/want to continue watching. i recently started watching the menéndez brothers documentary on netflix and i’m intrigued and want to watch the rest but then my brain tells me i’m enjoying it for entertainment purposes or “profiting” off of someone’s trauma or awful experience. i’m more so interested in the case and watching the court experience but i fear i won’t be able to finish it now. anyone else have this issue?
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
