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 in target and saw this kid who looked like my nephew and i didn’t a double take because i thought it was him i was gonna go say hi to him. it wasn’t him, but then my OCD intrusive thoughts popped in and made me want to throw up and run away and hide. it popped in my brain and i was immediately disgusted with myself. i wouldn’t ever do anything to harm a child. WHY IS MY BRAIN LIKE THIS I JUST NEED A BREAK.
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.
Mentions pocd Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw My brain told me I looked up cp and I know I definitely did not but my brain played a memory of me looking it up and being on a website … I know it’s from a TikTok video about Africa and saving kids from slavery that the thought appeared from but still it’s terrifying I didn’t look it up
