Hello! I struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts. Recently, I binge watched Tiger King on Netflix. That documentary is entirely strange and most of the people and their lifestyles are bizarre. But after watching it, I felt like the most normal, stable, put-together person in the world! I know this is a bitchy comment to say that their strange stories made me feel better: it's that reverse comparison thing. We compare ourselves to friends on Instagram and feel down because their lives look amazing, yet Tiger King was the opposite (eurgh - that's so bitchy of me!). It was helpful at those people's expense.
I don't want to start a thread about your opinions on Tiger King and those people in the show, but rather, what weird reverse made you feel better in an unexpected way?
