“Get Used to It” is a short documentary which explores the aspects and more ‘specifically’ chapters of the story following the filmmakers personal experience growing up with severe anxiety from childhood into adulthood in a nostalgic and lighthearted fashion. The film is both personal and essayistic and features a multitude of different materials including animation, personal archival footage, old journals, and current footage. The film aims at normalizing the things we struggle with throughout our lives, and speaking openly and frankly about them. One of the biggest things the filmmaker wished for in the depths of her mental illness was someone she could relate to, but at the time mental health wasn’t as spoken about. This film draws on the importance of recognizing our imperfections and reflecting on moments that shape us into who we are in the present.
