I sometimes watch movies, TV shows or documentaries I know will make me anxious or upset me greatly. For instance, I get really upset when an animal is hurt, even in fiction and movies, but I often still watch because I want to know what happens in the story, and I want the relief I get after all the sad parts are over and the animal is ok (although not everything has a happy ending, at least for the animal). I watch some things about predictions of the end of the world and such, because I want my fears to be relieved, even though I know I may regret watching them if they don't ease my fears.
