Movie/show Suggestions? For An Extra Sh*tty Day?

[ThisLifeIsBeautiful]

So today was terrible. I feel totally out of control. I need a week off. I wish I could not go to the hospital to get a week off. I DO NOT NEED to be in a hospital. I don't wanna die per se, just disappear... isolate. I need f*cking space. But i also need out of my own head. So... I know what I need to do, and that's self-care, blah, blah. Since I HAVE to be at work tomorrow, despite a superbly, life crushingly, shitty day, I'm looking for movie suggestions that are light-hardhearted, I don't have to totally pay attention to to get the gist (ideally) and preferably not a rom-com. I open to any suggestions really... Thanks for any input!

I personally have watched Parks and Recreation several times through. It's a really funny show and I always laugh at it no matter what mood I'm in. That's my suggestion for you. Take care, friend! :)

I DO NOT NEED to be in a hospital. I don't wanna die per se, just disappear... isolate.

There have been many times in my life where I needed to check myself in somewhere. I usually chose a hotel. A very nice one. Because a week in hospital costs quite a lot more -even with the insurance I had- than a week in a nice hotel.

Room service. Maid service. Waited on hand and foot. Swimming. Movies. Rest. :sneaky: Getting my chutzpah back.

I considered it proactive healthcare.

There have been many more times in my life where that was simply out of my budget. What I'd usually do is press on until I had a complete meltdown & ended up walking away from my life entirely. It took me a looooong time to find the middle ground. That I didn't need to wait until my life imploded, but to get proactive (if not a hotel, than other options) in advance of stress capacity reached in 4-3-2-1... And to learn to take a vacation, instead.

If you need a week off? I strongly suggest listening to your gut on that one. Take a week now, instead of 6weeks-6months later.

Movie now.
Vacation soonest!

I'm glad you're the one writing this so I know you won't be like ewwww too lewd but Family Guy is my go to when I need to laugh quickly. If I want something (slightly cleaner/nicer) I watch youtube clips of Whose Line Is It Anyway? I'm also partial to James Cordon's ridiculousness.

Strongly second @Friday's hotel suggestion. Has definitely saved me a time or two.

I generally prefer much heavier shows or films, but I recommend The Big Bang Theory or Impractical Jokers.

What a great idea, Friday. Definitly added on my list of survival tools :woot:

Thank you @Friday - That is a wonderful suggestion. I've never thought of doing that. I have pets, but checking them in to the vet and having them boarded, and checking myself into a hotel would be way less expensive, and more helpful for my well-being, than a hospital. Thankfully since I've written the original post, my mentally has shifted and I'm feeling much better. I went to work today, and kicked ass. I was seriously sleep deprived and suffering from flashbacks yesterday. I finally got sleep, my power was turned back on, and I figured out something else that was contributing to my mood, that is now under control. I will definitely put that idea away and save it for future. You are right. Taking a week is much better than letting my life crumble and winding up needing much longer in the end. I travel 5 hours roundtrip for therapy each week. I typically stay with a friend in a neighboring city, but I think this weekend I'll get a hotel and give myself some much needed space and alone time.
