When I’m home alone with anxiety, I like comedies! TV shows are ideal because they go on and on and I can just sit back and let it go. Some shows I enjoy when I am anxious are: pushing daisies, schitts creek, parks and recreation, grace and Frankie. I also sometimes watch true crime shows when I am anxious although for some this could exacerbate anxiety so please be cautious if this does not seem helpful to you! Some true crime shows I enjoy are 20/20, forensic files, cold case files, and a documentary here and there. Different tones work well for different people!

When I'm anxious I like to watch "meaningless tv". So background noise basically. Brooklyn 99 is very good, and it's funny. Bob's burgers is a good one too. find a good documentary, like Neat or any of the Somm ones. Black Panther is a good movie for me, though I tend to stay with shows when I'm not feeling well. Superstore is definitely just a blah show to help you zone out and relax. I feel like as long as it isn't anything that is going to make you think to much or hold to much focus it's good for anxiety.
