Does anyone have trouble watching TV when there anxiety is bad? I just cannot watch almost anything it irritates me and makes me more anxious.
Most TV is garbage in my opinion, soaps, news, charity advertisements , health documentaries can all sometimes feed anxiety.
I try to avoid TV as much as possible.
You’re right about that! Most isn’t watchable!
Hi Barb,
I don't know how much it's related, but it's weird you mention it because I've had alot of trouble watching T.V. for about the past 18 years. I have other mental issues involved i think, but alot of it is anxiety related. I am mesmerized by people on T.V. I watch THEM, rather than even paying any attention at all to what they are talking about. I observe (and cannot avoid this one bit) their behaviors, how they all interact with each other, facial expressions, etc. How well they "carry themselves". Sexual innuendos. It's like a game, and i want to just get off of it, but never could do it. I try everytime i'm watching. It's a bit different with say, an old movie, because the picture isn't as vivid like the news on live T.V.
