Have you ever developed a PTSD not because you lived something traumatizing but because of a piece of fiction (movie, serie, book, etc…) ?

For me, it’s the saga Final Destination, the first horrific saga i’ve ever watched, and will likely be the last.

    oh, if you just mean “it horrified me and overwhelmed me emotionally” (vs actual clinical ptsd—i’m too literal sometimes, and i don’t know how to edit or delete on kbin yet so…) then for me, that would be a number of movies, but probably the worst would be blue velvet. dennis hopper’s portrayal of a homocidal maniac was just too, too much. i wish id never watched it.
