Violent content has always put me in a bad headspace. I tend to avoid tv shows, movies, and games where the violence is very dramatized. I tend to do alright with real world accounts of things which is weird. True crime I can handle unless I'm already in a dark place. But for some reason dramatized, fictional content sets me off. 

For example, today I read some spoilers for Squid Game on Netflix and ever since I've felt this dark cloud over my head and my stomach is in knots. I can't stop obsessing over the details or inserting myself into those situations. I can't tell myself that this stuff isn't real. That doesn't work for me. I've tried breathing exercises and distracting myself. 

I don't necessarily need to consume this content but I can't even read spoiler by accident without this ruining my day. 

Anyone else deal with this?
