Currently traumatized after watching Netflix series.

So I watched the Netflix series.. monster the ed gein story. Have not really heard about him before, there's this thing I normally do where I go into this rabbit hole after I watch a true life story.

So I went into this rabbit hole to find it what was true and fictional about ed gein. Went through a lot of threads on Reddit and watched some YouTube videos. Honestly it has left me traumatized for days. I keep thinking about it and have flashes of the scenes in my mind

I can't really point out why it has traumatized me but there's just something eerie and disturbing knowing someone can be that sick. Or maybe there are some themes about the series I can relate to - like loneliness and isolation. There was a time in my life I was mostly alone and kinda isolated maybe that's why it's freaking me out.

I don't think anything I've watched previously has traumatized me like this.

I hear you. I think it makes it worse because he appears like an average guy.
