I have the same, Alex.
Violent movies or series make me really nervous, so I always skip them immediately.
And also the blocks of tv commercials, most of them I skip because there's a lot of shouting and the images change too fast for me to want to look at them.
There is a drama tv series that I like, but it also includes a lot of loud music, and every time the music starts, I put the volume down.
So you're absolutely not the only one ;-)

Incredible!!
Yes, these are all WD-symptoms; hypersensitivity to light, images of violence, too bright colours, and on and on and on. Avoiding this type of sensory overstimulation is a must in WD. With time though, it'll be getting better, more normal.
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
This is classic w/d. I couldn't watch any TV at all for a year. Then, I could watch an old black-and-white family show. Then, I could watch something a little more dramatic, etc.
Meds free since June 2005.
"An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

On Feb. 19th I posted "I canīt watch TV" It was an incredible symptom, very much connected with anxiety and fear;today, 1 month and 15 days later I have noticed that Iīm starting to be able to watch TV without getting hat awful feeling of anxiety and dysphoria.
After 8 long agonizing months, things have changed from being terryfing, to be difficult.
Most of the symptoms, which for me are 90% psycholigic, are improving, and others like panic attacks and dysphoria, abated.
I have almost no physical symptoms, the most visible: tinnitus (low) sore eyes (improving) smell hypersensitivity (improving)
Iīm still scared and traumatized for this incredible ordeal.
Iīll give a more detailed update soon.
Great news, Alex. It means your system is getting less and less sensitive. Keep it up!
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
Alex, you seem improving well and "fast"; this is very good sign ( because i was stagnant maybe 3 years )

Last night I had a "bad" night after two weeks of visible improvement.This is very discouraging, but I bellieve it is part of the wax and wane thing?
