I'm asking this out of curiosity. When you see a scene like this, about how long does it take before you'd say you're "over" it? Not that you've forgotten it, but that it's not really troubling you any more or not frequently.
I try to guard what I watch and read, but stuff slips through sometimes, or I make an error in judging what I can handle. I have a long-standing condition of major depression, plus I think I lean toward that "sensitive-person" type of person.
If I see something onscreen that really disturbs me, I'll usually be okay again within 2-3 days to a couple of weeks, depending on what it was. I may have daytime flashbacks but I don't typically dream about it. I have a feeling that this is a pretty quick recovery time?
Thanks, just curious.
