Agitated by violent or suspenseful movies

[dads_skrink]

Last night we watched the Oscar winning movie, "THE HURT LOCKER".  As sometimes happens I find myself at the limit of how much I can watch.  Yes, I thought it was a great movie and deserved the awards, but for me it is the single fact that the director, actors, etc. did such a good job that make it so difficult to watch.  
Just watching the violence

I have had problems in the car.

If B has picked the book and it has something in it I can't handle I have to make him turn it off. The first time it happened I didn' realize that I was getting agitated because of the book we were listening to and I insisted that he stop the car and let me out. He didn't understand. I turned off the book and opened the window and started to feel better right away. I think the people were in a cave or a tunnel or something. Since then I make sure I have my ipod handy so that I can listen to something that blocks out the book, so he can still listen while he drives. Such a suggestive brain. Sigh.
