[general] what would be the psychological effect of someone having to relive their own death every day like in Happy Death Day or Edge of Tomorrow?

I assume it would largely depend on whether being stuck in a time loop resets your body to the physical state it was in before it entered the loop, or if physical changes carry over from revolution to revolution.

Repeated exposure to traumatic events (which death definitely qualifies as) literally has a physical effect on the body, rewriting neural pathways and muscle memory in ways that permanently alter you. If those changes carry over from cycle to cycle, you'd have incredibly severe PTSD even if you escaped the loop.

If those changes reset with every cycle, then the psychological effects would likely be much less severe.
