Have always heard this is great but decided to finally watch it, and although I think it is a great movie and really enjoyed the bits where you couldn't tell what was real, there were a few parts that made me very uncomfortable. In general I don't like seeing women getting bullied or taken advantage of(actively avoiding oyasumi punpun, metamorphosis, and a silent voice from what I've heard about them), so as you can guess this is a pretty tough movie to get through, and if it weren't so entertaining and good and making me think I honestly probably wouldn't have finished it. So are there any other movies or anime like this, in terms of quality and maybe that feeling of not knowing what's real, but without the uncomfortable bits? Also if there are any other really good anime with the uncomfortable bits that I can avoid, because yes this was really good and I'm glad I watched it, I probably would tell my past self not to if that was possible lol.

try serial experiments lain, it has a similar “is this actually happening?” vibe and also doesn’t really make sense until the end like perfect blue.

Satoshi Kon has other great work that don’t involve themes that are as uncomfortable as what you’re getting at. Give Tokyo Godfathers a look at. It’s not quite like Perfect Blue but it’s a film he directed with two strong female leads.

Magnetic Rose, the first of three films in the Memories collection, is another film Satoshi Kon directed and it’s another thriller film with gorgeous art and story.

You might find some of Kon's other works like Paprika and Paranoia Agent appealing.
Take care of yourself

I think I'd be more concerned if you weren't uncomfortable with watching those scenes.

Paprika felt like perfect blue to me so it might do the same for you as well

I see what you’re saying, but those parts were necessary to the storyline and added to the uncomfortness you get when watching the anime.

I’d give Millenium Actress a watch. It’s the same director, but it’s more of a hopeful/bittersweet experience. You may enjoy Paprika, as well.
