F*** no - I am quite the sensitive soul myself. Presence has worked for countless instances in my life both with different negativity "bombarding" me in all directions and personally hairy situations. I (think) I know how you feel. It's only a forum - I don't REALLY know how you feel, because words don't do feelings justice. Whenever that stuff comes up for me, I remain present. If it's really POWERFUL or negative or whatever I have to remain present longer. Sometimes for many minutes at a time of conscious and intense presence. But it eventually floats away. And it's not like you'll lack the motivation to act. You'll still see the emotion, it just won't paralyze you.
When you say "the horror of it probably isn't in your mind," that's precisely it - it's in your MIND. I want you to put it into your body, where you can better feel it. Move your attention into the body when "thinking" of this stuff.
Can you link to a particular story?
