I just finished the first episode of We Are All Trying Here and I feel a little f-ed up. I think the portrayal of depression and helplessness is so incredibly spot on that it's messing with my head. The kind of stubbornness that is adjacent to self harm. The feeling that you can't succeed so you'll be the 'best' at being a failure instead. The active self sabotage because at least you can be good at being bad. Hating yourself so much that you make yourself deliberately unlikable so that others will hate you too.
I've recently come out of a months long deep depressive episode and these thoughts were at the top of my mind for the better part of last year.
I feel both weirdly seen and triggered by this show.
