How to calm myself and sleep after seeing something graphic?

[Anonymous]

I came across a very graphic gruesome pic of a body online. It wasn’t blurred and came out of the blue. I’m trying my best to sleep but the image keeps coming in my mind and I’m feeling very scared and anxious. Throughout the day I’ve been distracted but now it’s worse. What should I do?

I remember when I was scarred by Gore, I've reached the point where I can eat while I watch it and laugh at the more unfortunate ones, you already saw it, it won't go away, my best bet would be to avoid seeing anymore of it until your brain moves on from it and no longer brings it back to the front of your mind, for now I say take some sleep aid and watch good things until you fall asleep.

Become desensitized to it, so you realize it's not that serious. At the end of the day, it is just the human body and looking at it objectively like that helps.

The memory will fade, but I know there are some disturbing images to be found online.

Thank you, I hope the memory of these images fades tonight🙊

Don't look at that stuff. Listen to your favorite songs, do something that occupies your mind. Read, exercise, do some arts or crafts, play a game or video games, watch a movie, drink alcohol, smoke weed, masturbate.
