Do you like watching true crime shows? Or do they upset or trigger you?

I’m not sure I really fit in answering this question, but I wanted to show my support. As someone who doesn’t have a dissociative disorder….here’s my answer. Maybe it offers a different point of view.
It’s where it get’s a little funny and tricky because I’m a criminal justice major and I have seen all kinds of stuff, but there’s some shows I can watch and some I can not. For example I used to really love the show criminal minds, but then suddenly I couldn’t deal with the show. It’d give me major anxiety to the point I couldn’t sleep. Which is funny considering what I’ve seen and what I know. However, shows like SUV and Blue Bloods….no issues at all.

Neither. I mostly prefer fiction.

I watch them way too much. My husband thinks I’m gathering too much information; he feels threatened, lol. There are triggers, of course, but I think ultimately, it’s wanting to know what goes on in a perpetrator’s mind that draws me.

I’m not a fan of crime shows or crime stories, whether true crime or fiction, and I don’t watch that much TV at all. They don’t normally upset/trigger me very much, unless there’s something really graphic relating to some of my strongest anxieties or phobias. Sometimes I will watch them if the topic is for some specific reason interesting for me.
