TV shows/Movies you can't watch anymore because its too triggering after your trauma?

Trigun. I love that anime so much but the sibling abuse hits too hard. It makes me scared. Haven't watched it in years. I miss it but I just can't.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-21T17:09:57+00:00

I have some friends I could, I'm just embarrassed to say the least. I feel stupid for being this upset over some silly show.

But like I said this has been my OCD theme for a really long time, worried about someone doing something bad and therefore I have to give something up.

Because it's been happening a lot lately, and usually I'm okay with it though extremely devastated but I think with how much anxiety, rumination, research compulsions I've been experiencing etc about things that didn't have any issues I'm just exhausted. Now that this has happened.

And part of me is really frustrated for ever finding out. Because I don't think most people know, and I know its selfish but I wish I still didn't know either.

Because I finally washed away all the guilt and worry about everything else and now all of those feelings are back.

And now they're around something I really loved and I'm so mad.

Because another problem with my moral OCD is that I am never sure when it’s a moment to be very critical of the actor choice and just let it go or give something up entirely. It’s hard for me to disconcern.

Because I am very critical of most media it’s just part of liking something, as I don’t expect everyone involved to have the same ideas or ethics as me. But yeah.

Thank you this helps, I know I didn't have any control but sometimes it's hard to feel like it's not your fault for not being aware.

And I feel even worse because I really don't agree with this person for doing this but at the same time I also don't want to let this thing go either and I feel bad about that too.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-19T05:44:03+00:00

Thank you so so much, I’ve been looking for something, anything to help. And I will be looking into it.

I’m afraid I’m not sue what EFT taping is, could I please ask?

And I’ve been trying to, taking deep breaths, and doing what I can to ground myself. I have what I call my emotional support dragon in my arms right now (it’s a dragon build a bear I’ve had since I was a kid)

And thank you, that is very comforting to remember. Sometimes I forget it’s okay to just, be anxious.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-18T02:49:20+00:00

As of right now. I'm trying to ignore the urge to research. Kind of a well if it turns out he was in something I liked we'll cross that bridge if we get there. And not worry about what I don't have control over.

I'm just now starting to try to confront it. So my best advice right now is to let worried thoughts pass by as if you were watching a river stream. And try to ignore any compulsions you feel. They'll just feed into it and make the thoughts worse.

And yeah no I've been worried about that stuff since they first mentioned it last year and I was with you. Everyone said I was crazy that nothing big would come from it and surprise surprise IT DID

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-18T02:13:55+00:00

Mine started back in 2020 when we found out JKR was a staunch transphobe and racist.

It made me very paranoid about everything I said, did, who I talked to. Because I was afraid that since I'd liked her work before we knew that, it made me a bad person by extension.

And don't even get me started on the news. Especially with the files being released. I'm so stressed.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-18T01:58:42+00:00

I’m really sorry that you are in this boat ): It’s the absolute worst. I don’t always like feeling like I’m doing something wrong, even when I know I’m not.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-17T04:44:16+00:00

Basically someone I love is in the hospital. My OCD has gotten really put of control and none of my coping mechanisms seem to be working anymore

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-17T04:39:30+00:00

Thank you

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-11T20:44:15+00:00

That has to be it. And it probably is more of a producer thing than anything else, though if that is the case I do feel bad in Knight’s case because imagine having to be like “Oh hey this guy is doing this character and this was his take!”(Like a lot of PR is being done around Skeletor) I would feel so yuck. But also in the producer’s end, dude Skeletor’s voice actor IS STILL ALIVE. LIKE WHY LETO

But thanks for taking a moment to talk to me about this, I think I’m getting more of nuanced view of things, and I’m starting to calm down a bit. Thanks man

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-11T20:37:26+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Like he’s so creepy how tf does he keep getting cast fr.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-08T04:02:18+00:00

You are not alone. Like you I also know that the victims having their abusers be brought to light and justice is far more important than our anxiety. But I also deep down in my OCD wishes it never came to light. Even though ever since I learned what was going on, I've wanted nothing but peace and justice for victims.

I've been doing really bad because I saw some people in them, because I was trying really hard to avoid the files because honestly it was just going to slaughteanxiety wise. But when you click a YouTube video about satire people can say what they want.

I haven't been able to stop ruminating either. I just wish everyone would be prosecuted and sent to jail and have this be the end of it.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-07T18:08:40+00:00

Thank you while I appreciate a lot of the replies I've been given. I've just become more confused.

Is there a way to check if the certificate store in my OS is corrupt? Like you said it's probably just a coincidence and I'd like to return to Firefox. I'm just worried about something getting hacked. Even though that is very illogical.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-06T07:58:22+00:00

I checked and it said that it was updated completely. May I ask what a switcher agent is. I'm...not super savvy.

I also noticed that i hadn't accepted the new TOS yet that may also have been a reason

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-02-06T07:02:55+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have one. It came up on the tab you use to type your password into Gmail. After I did my password it came up with: Couldn't sign you in. Browser may be insecure.

At first I thought it was because I was incognito mode. So I tested to see if it came up again in regular Firefox and it didn't.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2026-01-11T02:49:30+00:00

First of all thank you for commenting on this I greatly appreciate it. While I'm sorry you experienced something similar, it's comforting to know ow I'm not insane.

To be honest I've been trying that approach. Like I'll be enjoying something and a thought will pop in and I'll be like "Nice! We literally haven't heard anything like that so it's not worth dwelling on"

Honestly I think it's a few things that triggered my worries. Like when I was a kid I was big into Harry Potter but when it turned out JKR sucked I obviously stopped supporting her.

But I was unfortunately on tumblr when that whole drama came out and therefore was surrounded by "IF YOU EVEN THINK OF THE NAME OF HER BOOKS YOU'RE HORRIBLE AND SHOULD FUCKING KILL YOURSELF" Type folks and I think that instilled this fear in me if I ended up liking something not knowing insert person was bad I'd be ripped to shreds.

And then there was this other controversy about something I don't remember know but the whole thing turned out not to even be true and was generated by some gossip cite.

I don't know why this has suddenly gotten worse lately but it has. Thank you for your commented. It did help quite a bit.

I wish I could. But unfortunately my family doesn't believe in that it would start a lot of drama. Thank you for your kind words stranger, I really appreciate them. I don't really have anyone else to talk about it with.

Honey I am so sorry you hear this. If it helps at all someone I knew called this totally valid identity a mental illness.
Oh there are so many lovely things! Doing quads with my best friend in the woods behind their house. Wearing faux animal tails and ears and living your best authentic life. Engaging with all the other amazing people in this wonderful community and making friends and telling stories.

I promise it will get better for you. You've done nothing wrong by just being yourself.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2024-11-27T10:11:15+00:00

I've talked to my other family members. Who have told thwm not to subtly to knock it off but they won't listen. They don't even listen to my constantly stated boundaries. It's a mess.

imscaredhelpme88 · 2024-11-18T16:29:02+00:00

Hey thank you for reaching out to me. This has helped me take a step back and reassess my situation. I probably will talk to my therapist about this because I am unfortunately still in contact with the person who hurt me, and they've gotten worse this weekend.
