I am home alone tonight and have bad anxiety so get easily scared of almost nothing.

What can I watch in bed on my laptop to distract myself?

Happy tv or movie recommendations please!

Three Men and a Baby

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 14/06/2025 22:03

The Chelsea Detective
Marlow Murder Club
Fire Country

They always help when I'm suffering with anxiety. They're very gentle viewing.

Never seen it myself but my sil swears by Gone Fishing (paul whitehouse and Bob Mortimer) for the most gentle humorous telly when she’s feeling especially wrung out and in need of easy comfort tv!
Me personally I love shitts creek as an easy rewatch or really naff films like father of the bride 😂 nothing highbrow or intense here!

FRIENDS always cheers me up

My favourite cheerful movie is That Thing You Do! With Tom Hanks.

I have extreme anxiety and am awake most of the night. My watches are
The cockfields on iplayer
Last Tango in Halifax
Cant go wrong with Gavin and Stacey especially the first Christmas episode.
Any of the old 90s sitcoms really

Gavin and Stacey always cheers me up and so easy to dip in and out of!

If you want to start something long winded, then "this is us" on prime is a gorgeous, heart warming series 🙂

Vanfan · 14/06/2025 22:24

Easy watches for me are;
The Royle family
Early doors
Anything with Victoria Wood in - including Housewife 49 if you can find it
Friends
Seaside Hotel a lovely Danish series with easy to follow subtitles

I love Under the Tuscan Sun, Coming to America, Because I said so. And Nailed it on Netflix.

Agree with Friends.
I watch an episode or two most days as it's always on.
Just started another rewatch of SATC too. The comedy element always cheers me up 😁
Also Dinner Ladies. Victoria Wood gave all the best lines to all the other characters.
She was a genius.

Ted Lasso or Shrinking if you have Apple TV.
