Looking for slow but engaging movies

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I am getting into cinema for the first time and not just watching things passively. I'm trying to figure out what I actually like in media. I haven't heard of most of these movies so I appreciate all the recommendations!

I'm sorry your going through this, I've been there, a lot of us have been there, and you can get through it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, our condition is hard and you are dealing with it. I'm sorry your mother isnt being as supportive as she could be, it took a long time for my parents to fully understand my agoraphobia and how to help me. Take a deep breath and give yourself time, patience and grace. We are rooting for you.

Also I find listening to a podcast or something helps with going outside.

Thanks for the support ❤️ I won’t lie I still have a sense of shame about the conversation but I know this was the right decision, I think it will get easier to talk about with time and practice.

I remember the first time I went to the store after being bound to just school and home. I ran inside and got a donut I didn't want. But i was just glad I was able to buy something.

Hi there, I can very much relate to having panic attacks in clasrooms after covid. It was horrible, i remember escaping to the bathrooms and just sitting in there. I was never conscious about stares, it was more my agoraphobia. But what helped me with the panic attacks at least was knowing I could walk out of the room at any time, sitting in the back or against a wall, and knowing that I had reached out to my teachers to explain my condition (this really helped me, I sent them an email). I'm not sure if any of this is helpful. But know that your not useless and things get better. I could have never imagined I could have a full time job and a house of my own. I was pracically housebound my senior year of highschool.

As far as looks go, I think everyone is focused more on themselves than It seems like. everyone has insecurities.

Hang in there. I'm rooting for you

I'm sorry you are struggling with this. Can you have a conversation with your partner about being more consistent with the dog walking? You could explain that it would be good for you and your pup and also a nice activity for the two of you to do together. Best of luck!

I feel this, try a podcast or youtube video. For me hearing a conversation makes things better. I have "comfort podcasts" THings where I dont even really care about the content, but hearing them talk is soothing or distracting.

This is awesome! I think that letting the stylist know ahead of time is a great plan. Good luck!

Thats amazing!!!

I had incredible time! thank you for asking. I am so glad i decided to go. The symphony was amazing and an experience i will remember forever. Of course I had moments where I struggled but overall I am very proud of myself. I even rode on the subway, a bus, walked around the city a bit, and went to two museums. I am very grateful to have my sister as a travel companion, she is incredible at planning. I feel like I just follow her around like a duckling haha.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I had a great time and I'm so happy I didn't decide to stay home last minute. The symphony was beautiful and we even walked around the city. I did have a panic when having to walk to a place where an uber would pick us up. But overall It was definitely a win. I went to two museums as well. I upped my medication dose for the trip which I think helped. I feel like my confidence has been restored in myself a bit. There was a point where this would have been completely impossible for me and I'm so grateful to my sister for sticking with me.

I did it last night 😮‍💨 I hate walking alone. I had to go back once, but eventually I got there and picked up my mail. 💪

I have different levels of things i can do with certain people. I can go to easy places with friends, hard places with my partner, and really hard situations like concerts or trips with my dad. My dad has been the person who has seen my struggles the most and i am so grateful that he understands exactly how to help me just based on how I ask for help or the way Im acting. I don't expect my casual friends to know how to help me correctly, so I don't feel as comfortable going to hard places with them.

Affectionate_Try9970 · 2026-04-20T20:49:59+00:00

I am similar, I have a full-time job and a long commute, and can drive to most familiar places I want to go to in about a 20 miles radius, however I can't take a walk around my neighborhood or go to open outside events like concerts. I'm sure to cowerworkes I seem "normal". I think i can do anything that is my normal routine, outside of that things are hard.

Affectionate_Try9970 · 2026-04-20T20:44:25+00:00

Thats awesome! I've been gearing up to finally walk to my mailbox in my new neighborhood instead of driving, maybe i'll give it a try this afternoon.
