* In the WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck wartime short "WesternAnimation/TheVanishingPrivate", Donald is knocked into a barrel of [[InvisibilityInk invisible paint]] by Sergeant Pete and spends the rest of the cartoon trolling him. The General thinks Pete is losing his marbles when he sees him skipping around singing "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" (in sarcastic imitation of Donald) and throwing flower petals (in the hope of revealing Donald's location); when Pete asks "Have you seen a little guy... that you can't see?" and then starts dancing around screaming (Donald having used a pair of pliers to drop a cactus down the back of his trousers), this just reinforces his belief. Donald's torment eventually ''does'' erode Pete's sanity, until he is running around the base with a double armload of live hand grenades. When the General tries to talk him down and Donald uses the General's sword to make Pete drop his grenades, the sergeant ends up in a straitjacket and padded cell.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'' is having a field day with this trope, enough to be mentioned separately from the original series.
** Beginning with "Little Homeschool", we are shown that Steven has an unhealthy amount of repressed anger, resulting in him [[spoiler:getting a new power where he turns pink and gains violent tendencies whenever he's angry]]. This trend continues throughout the series. Steven also seems to have an unhealthy obsession with helping people, which comes back to bite him later.
** In "Rose Buds" and "Volleyball", Steven is shown to be experiencing repressed trauma related to [[spoiler:the whole Pink Diamond/Rose thing and all the horrible things she did]], which seems to be the other major trigger for [[spoiler:Pink Steven mode]]. As usual, Steven bottles up his feelings.
** In "A Very Special Episode", Steven runs himself ragged trying to help multiple people at the same time, eventually collapsing from exhaustion. Unlike the other examples on this page, it's PlayedForLaughs, and [[spoiler:it's ambiguous how much of this episode is even canon anyway]].
** In "Snow Day", it's revealed Steven has a constantly-busy schedule and refuses to ever take a day off.

** Steven's sanity takes a nosedive in [[spoiler:[[WhamEpisode "Little Graduation"]]]]. He discovers that [[spoiler:Sadie has broken up with Lars and is now dating a person named Shep]], [[spoiler:the Suspects split up and Sadie is performing alongside Shep]], and that [[spoiler:Lars and the Off Colors are going into space after the graduation]]. Steven [[spoiler:has a mental breakdown]] over all of this, and accidentally[[spoiler:uses his powers to trap everyone in a dome]]. The cherry on the cake is that Steven [[spoiler:projects his issues onto Lars instead of admitting that he's the one who needs help]]. No wonder he [[spoiler:leaves Little Homeschool]], which makes it worse as he now feels that [[spoiler:he has no purpose anymore]].
** In the next episode, which is an even bigger WhamEpisode, Steven has taken up gardening, except [[spoiler:he named all his plants after people he knows and talks to them, even stating that the flower named Lars is stuck in the ground and can't run off into space]]. This is PlayedForLaughs, but the rest of the episode is '''not'''. Steven's pet cactus gets [[spoiler:used as an emotional punching bag for Steven to vent his bottled-up feelings on]]. This comes back to bite him when [[spoiler: the cactus learns to talk and starts repeating the things that Steven's said about the gems... right in front of them]]. This causes Steven to [[spoiler:get mad at and abuse]] the cactus, who does not take it well and attacks him, mutating into a botanical monstrosity. At the end of the episode, [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint Steven learns that]] [[spoiler:he shouldn't talk about his problems at all]]. The most heartbreaking part is that [[spoiler:the gems know something is wrong and keep reaching out to Steven, but he rejects their help because he feels like he can't talk to them.]]

** Beginning with "Little Homeschool", we are shown that Steven has an unhealthy amount of repressed anger, resulting in him [[spoiler:getting a new power where he turns pink and gains violent tendencies whenever he's angry]]. This trend continues throughout the series. Steven also seems to have an unhealthy obsession with helping people, which comes back to bite him later.
** In "Rose Buds" and "Volleyball", Steven is shown to be experiencing repressed trauma related to [[spoiler:the whole Pink Diamond/Rose thing and all the horrible things she did]], which seems to be the other major trigger for [[spoiler:Pink Steven mode]]. As usual, Steven bottles up his feelings.
** In "A Very Special Episode", Steven runs himself ragged trying to help multiple people at the same time, eventually collapsing from exhaustion. Unlike the other examples on this page, it's PlayedForLaughs, and [[spoiler:it's ambiguous how much of this episode is even canon anyway]].
** In "Snow Day", it's revealed Steven has a constantly-busy schedule and refuses to ever take a day off.
