I am in a similar situation to yours. I've had mental illness for most of my adult life. I'm pretty well medicated now, but there are still movies and shows that can trigger me.
I did well for most of Teen Wolf, but I can't watch any more of Season 5 because it's so awful and dark. I choose theater movies pretty carefully. Avengers-type violence is okay with me, but realistic stories are not. I still have no idea what made me want to watch Snowpiercer - that was a terrible, terrible movie for me. Obviously horror is right out.
My boyfriend is supportive of my choices. Sometimes he goes to see new movies with his friend instead, which is fine with me. (I'm actually finding that I'm not so interested in the more recent Avenger movies, but I don't know if that's about violence or not. They just look dull.)
I hope that you continue taking care of yourself the way you've been doing. The last thing we need are more anxiety attacks!
