What media did you have to stop consuming because it negatively effected you?

I've chucked The Reader and Bay Wolf across the room because it triggered my emetophobia.

I had to stop watching The Confession Tapes on Netflix because it made me so stressed out.

I'm really, REALLY jumpy when it comes to ghosts, and physically threw several Point Horror books away from me as a kid because I got freaked out (which was bad, because they were usually library books). Basically I don't tend to watch much in the way of horror movies even still, because I'm just that wimpy, and will absolutely spend the night with the lights on afterwards to avoid feeling like there's things watching me in the dark.

On a fandom note, I've basically stopped reading fic with soul or telepathic bonds, because on two separate occasions in two separate fandoms I got triggered to fuck on them. It tends to be a specific sort of presentation that sets me off, a combination of gaslighting and a sense of inescapability that only comes up in the odd one, but those tropes seem to create opportunities for it, so it's just not worth the risk anymore. I LIKE some variations on the trope, but after two massive panic episodes, I figure I'll just leave it from now on unless I really trust the author and/or reccer.

Back in college I had a really bad period in which several health problems (both physical and mental health) ended up messing me up so much that I was on the verge of failing out of school. Media has always been about escapism for me, so back then I had to avoid anything that had to do with college, graduation, the hardships of finding your first job, or stuff that focused on health issues, particularly related to breathing or heart conditions.

I don't get nightmares about media properties, but things I've been watching or heard in the background of my life tend to show up in my dreams. e.g. I have had drag queen dreams after bingewatching Drag Race.

so you can imagine my feelings when my roommate binged American Horror Story while I was in the room and then it started showing up in my dreams. I can't be around if she wants to watch it, now.

LGBT+ stories that end sadly or horribly. I just fucking can’t anymore. I don’t need to be reminded that being a lesbian sucks ass.

Handmaid's Tale for a while. Also Dark Knight. Haven't rewatched that in a long time.

I used to absolutely love Penn and Teller but I felt there was some sort of conflict of interest with them being libertarians and me being on disability.

I couldn't deal with One Mississippi because breast cancer runs in my family and I'm really hung up on the fear of fighting cancer or getting scary surgeries.

My Favorite Murder for a while. I was getting a lot like the OP and their forensics books. Then I got back into it. And then I ragequit when Karen and Georgia introduced their weird premium service. Idk, the fame went to their heads a while ago and it's been annoying, that was just the last straw.

Law and Order SVU. I was molested as a child. My grandmother really loved that show but I just COULD NOT be in the room when it was on, even if I was trying to distract myself.
