If you are feeling playful and frisky, don't read this post, it is a pretty heavy subject and might give you a buzzkill.
Have any of you looked at something you shouldn't have? How or what do you do to get the images out of your head or stop thinking about it?
A friend of mine (who I now refer to as "asshole") emailed me a picture of a young woman and a link to a story about her, Nicole Nikki Catsouras (18). She looks a lot like my own cousin and the paragraph or so of her car accident story got my interest and I clicked the link to read the rest. Instead, a very crystal clear image loaded on the screen of her annihilated body still stuck in the wreckage. Apparently she got into a fight with her father and stole his Porche 911. Fifteen minutes later, going 100mph, she clipped a car and lost control, hitting a cement toll booth/overpass thing at 100mph.
She very obviously died instantly.
I keep seeing the before and after pictures in my mind, I can't stop thinking about it for an hour now. Its horrible, actually makes me physically hurt for her and her family, just terrible.
I keep seeing my cousin in my head. How the hell do you think of something else?

I am fortunate in a way that having seen terrible things many times it now has
no effect on me
Report back to us, after you've developed a masturbation fetish to such images...then we can advise you better on how to recover.

If the site that nicola posted doesn't help you,,then you might try this,, Talk to your cousin about what has happened to you ,,and just hearing her voice ,,might calm you some,,It is a relief to me personally to hear that I am not the only person in the world that becomes sympathetic to other people during their times of tragic loss,, to the point that you actually feel their pain,,this quality isn't normally something a man will exhibit,,,You will probably need to tell yourself,,to just put it out of your mind,,I've had similar experiences,,It never really leaves me ,, but often It is many years before I recall the unhappy things I have seen.
WISH YOU THE BEST BROTHER!
Yeah I've seen a lot of harsh things, but I was prepared for it, this whole situation is different somehow, not expecting it caught me off-guard. I was very distracted earlier but I'm not dwelling on it as much now. Just crazy sad event.
Okay wellmade, that was macabre, but I laughed, dark but funny.
My problem is I keep thinking about what little things could have changed the outcome. I feel bad that such a quick act of irrationality cost her, her life. How bad it must be for her parents and three younger sisters. How familiar she looks (to my own cousin around the same age). Nothing like that has ever happened in my family, I couldn't imagine losing someone like that. She never imagined when she woke up that day that it would be her last. You don't just lose them, you lose their thoughts and dreams, and every memory they have ever had, every emotion whether happy or sad or wonderment, everything that person ever experienced is gone, forever. Final, in the blink of an eye.
That blows my mind.

What you can take from this is that no one knows when our last day is, unless you have some sort of Heroes-like ability you've neglected to mention here in the forum. "If Today Was Your Last Day" by Nickelback is a favorite song of mine, because it illustrates that exact point. No one knows, and that may be why we fear death so much, especially if it is as horrific as the girl's. I think Shameless's idea is a sound one. But maybe we should all take into account that we never know if we'll make it to the next day and to live as fully as possible.
I sound like a dork, but I hope some part of what I said helps even a little bit.

XD Aw thanks Primal!! It's awesome
Gotta go with DB's comment above. Those of us lucky(?) enough to have seen some of the worst things humanity is capable of during it's brief time on this planet get to appreciate the GOOD things even more and realise that, well, you're just not promised tomorrow.
It's sad what happened to that girl, but she chose her path and I am eternally grateful that you did not report that any other innocents were hurt.

1st of all I hope your cousin is very much alive.
2nd There is loads of thing on the internet that we get e-mailed, the problem is, is that our curiosity gets the better of us. This is where we get into trouble, as we end up seeing images we really shouldn't have.
3rd In time those images will get blurry in your mind after a while.
4th Learn something from this, do something in your area to stop people speeding etc. Run an advertising campaign in a local paper to curb speeding, this way you'll feel like you have done something for future drivers.
I really hope your cousin is still alive and that I didn't miss read what you typed.
