JG,

I am sorry you are having a hard time right now.:/

Yes, when my anxiety is high, I really have to watch my input...as certain shows, movies...even social media or reading material can be triggering.

If you find you continue to be botherered with these negative thoughts, try using the Therapy Worksheets from our Resources to help you work through the worries.

S.C.

Yes! All the time. I have to monitor what I watch because of it. Mine is worse with health related shows like Greys Anatomy or House. If I'm watching and I realize something could trigger me, I quickly change it.

I used to do worse. I used to watch House. Not sure how I got through the series with such health anxiety.

I also don't watch the news, bad things are happening in South Africa with this Thief President of ours. it's worrying , our economy is going down, hope he will step down soon.

Various things can trigger anxiety and TV is definitely one of them! If you feel yourself being overwhelmed, maybe change the channel, and read the ending of the episode on the internet (sometimes its a little less abrasive if you read it rather than witness it).
