Hi everyone. I’m L. I joined here a while ago but soon after I got really sick with Sepsis and it’s taken this long to recover.
I wanted to share this good news with everybody. I’m feeling proud of myself. I saw that this new Barbie film is out and playing at my local theatre so I did the unimaginable and went to the cinema! I was so anxious. And I did feel a little giddy a few times but I persevered and saw it through and it was a good experience! There were a lot of people but not as many as I thought there would be. Maybe it wasn’t a popular film? But I’m really glad I went and I feel so proud for going and seeing it through to the end. I had my earplugs, in case I needed to turn on some soothing music to calm myself and I also had my little comfort bear that I take with me whenever I go out.
Do you go to the cinema regularly? I’m not going to make a habit of this but I did enjoy the experience but personally feel a lot calmer and happier watching stuff on my computer and laptop at home.
Best wishes, L.
Well done L, the cinema can be a bit daunting. Our local cinema has reopened after being closed for about 10 years. It’s had a massive refit and is back to its art deco glory. Every other row of seats has been removed so nobody is too near and I book an end of aisle seat so only my wife is next to me. I contact the cinema and find out what time the film actually starts and then slip in a couple of minutes before, obviously if you wait until a film has been released for a few weeks then the cinema is nearly empty.
Thank you! It is a daunting experience and can be a bit overwhelming. I've only been a handful of times, mostly with my mum and dad when I was a kid but usually had to go early because I had a meltdown. Your cinema sounds lovely! Mine is quite old, seats are pressed closely together and it felt stuffy inside. I think it could do with a refurbishment but no funds to do it here.
