Before it is too late
Why is there a +18 only banner for some content on the internet?
What happens when someone turns 18, is this person suddenly getting some wisdom?
Nope, I have found some 18 years old dude with zero wisdom.
What should happen is that a person would gain some experience, and be able to distance himself from what he is confronted, some news, or content can be hurtful.
To understand this (or to actually remember how it felt) try to put yourself back into your shoes, the day someone told you about the World War 2 concentration camp, or the day you discovered what the Catholic inquisition was doing.
That is the day, you absolutely freaked out, and realized that humanity is not cuddle and hugs.
There is a darkness in all of us, an awful abyss of the most gruesome horrors
And being 18 or older, you are supposed to have this knowledge ; and therefor you may handle some disturbing content that might be visual or reading material, that will not keep you up at night ...
Otherwise, try to make the maximum to ground yourself, and remember the good things that happened to you and grab anything to focus on the present moment and time, talk to a friend, drink a glass of water, do some physical exercise, meditate ...
Watch a comedy, look at cats, and get wiser fast
