Anyone else use horror media to cope ? I feel like horror gives me a sense of control over what scares me?

      Yep! I use it to desensitize myself to my triggers. Plus I just like horror.

Yes, some people use horror media as a coping mechanism. One user mentioned that they watch horror movies, Coraline, Bojack Horseman, Shameless, or American Horror Story when they're feeling a certain way, as these are their comfort watches. Another person shared that they enjoy fictional gore and horror, finding comfort in the "discomfort zone" due to their trauma or severe anxiety.
