Working Up The Courage To Watch This Movie

Lounge

It’s about Brian Wilson and his experience with hearing voices.
I want to watch it so bad, but I’m afraid I might get scared, especially at that scene where he just loses it at the table. I am also kind of afraid of turning on my TV, right now. Has anyone seen it?

I saw it, I was doing well at the time. They showed it free at our local library.
It had a few triggering scenes when he loses it. I especially hated his controlling manager that pumped him with drugs and bad therapists to control him and steal his money.

But he got away from that with help. It has a happy ending.

It’s an excellent movie, but I can see how it could cause some anxiety.

Okay, update:
I watched this movie and it gave me really bad anxiety. It also proves to me I am not schz, because my voices are not as surreal as in this movie they were for Brian. For me they are more like my own thoughts, but someone else is controlling them and they are really loud in my head.
I also related to a lot of other things and it scared me.
I also have beach boys songs stuck in my head and they will not stop. I love the beach boys, but they are playing over and over again and taking over my head and I can’t make it stop and I got mad and told my head to stop it but it won’t and I am freaking out about it.
I can’t watch movies like this…

It’s the same for me and I’m sza.

I have enough scz to deal with. I dislike media portrayals of what I live with because they are mostly wrong, just wrong.

My favorite movie about scz is called Angel Baby about a couple who met in a metal health clubhouse. It’s incredibly realistic.

Russel Crowe is a great actor but that movie sucked. It was full of ■■■■.

Hmm, well clearly I know nothing about mental health. I don’t know what is wrong, or if there even is anything wrong with me at all.

Yes, I can’t watch these kind of movies. It messes with me.
I have never heard of that one.
