Don't turn off the lights!
I’ve always been a sucker for a good psychological thriller. A mind-bending, suspense-building, disturbing psychological thriller. While it might seem an odd choice for someone who suffers from anxiety, I find that watching a gripping psychological thriller will usually distract me from any unwelcome and intrusive thoughts. Ironic that constructed fear is an antidote for real fear. Unfortunately, it’s pretty hard to shock me these days. I have seen many films with the same formula and most of the time (to the utter disdain of my partner) I can predict the ending a quarter of the way through. However, I can still recall the experience of disbelief when watching the end of Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island. I had NOT seen that coming.
