Gore videos

Hello,

I’m too old to be spooked by these things, but it still gets me. When I was younger, I saw a lot of these horrific videos. I was one of the kids that thought it would make me more resilient, and to be honest it made me become an anxious, nervous person over time.

I made it my mission to not look at those videos anymore because they only perpetuated a sense of fear.

I’m 23 now, and I saw another video by accident, I’m at work, and I’m trying to keep my cool while answering calls on the phone.

My mind is so familiar with these videos, I am sure I will die in this manner with at least a 50% chance. I’m a shut in, I’m scared of everything. My paranoia has been consistent and strong ever since I was younger, and I could probably blame those videos. I have nightmares that reflect very similar imagery a lot, probably once a week.

I need to know how people process life when they see stuff like this. How does one get over these things.
