I have a very difficult time watching movies. I can't stay focused. Thirty minute sit-coms are ok, but I don't really watch much.
I can read a book for hours, but day dream or sleep through movies. |

I voted yes, but in contras to reallydown, I'm very drawn to realistic war movies, especially ones that show the effects of combat on the soldiers. I think this is because some of my own trauma involved things that usually only soldiers in combat have happen to them. I like fantasy for the escapism, too. |

depends...
detest fantasy, but am prone to high drama /emotional stuff... usually only of the true kind tho....
ie: good example when i became vegan, obsessed with knowing all the atrocities of animal cruelty/abuse.. not sure if that counts or just makes me obsessive and weird... |

Not drawn to movies, watch them but when I want or not, but I am a news junkie. There was a time I could not watch enough news, channel switching to see everything, sometimes up to 12 hours a day. With medication and help from my family I have slowly withdrawn from this and can now get by with only 4 to 5 hrs a day of news. any lessand I get a creepy feeling that there is danger coming for me and I can't see what it is. Strange that I know it is a symptom of my PTSD but it still eats at me until I have to watch |

I obsessed about 2 forms of media; info on up to the minute as possible surveillance and communications technology - I surfed the www 2 hours/day looking up anything to do with that; I was a techno sales rep for 15 yrs... and at home,
war movies turned up loud with the surround sound on. I stopped doing both after about the first 6 mos. Right now watching Beverly Hillbillies. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
