Recently I did a reread of The Lord of the Rings, which was a great distraction. I generally rewatch sitcoms to deal with acute stress: Brooklyn Nine Nine, Community, Upstart Crow and Jam and Jerusalem are all favourites. I'm also watching Star Trek Next Gen one randoms episode at a time. QI is another fave for me to rewatch -- it seems to work as a distraction no matter what, even though sometimes I'm frustrated by the guests on it.
I've been trying to watch new shows, but find myself kind of resistant -- I think it must be too stressful atm.
Considering how much I liked the first three sitcoms on your list, I'll have to try Jam and Jerusalem when I can deal with new-to-me media. I've been having trouble watching anything lately--I need to be doing something, and watching TV doesn't apparently count.
I do recommend it whenever you feel up for it! <3 It's a very cosy show. I definitely have similar feelings though -- it's really hard to focus on TV right now.
It's frustrating, because being in my head isn't doing me any good and I would very much like to be out of it, but when I try my brain skips off of the possibility of distraction. Brains, why they gotta be like this?
