Joined the group just to say my teen daughter is absolutely in love with the show…as soon as she finishes it she starts it again. Admittedly she tried to get me to watch it this past week but with Thanksgiving and a busy life I didn’t really have time to watch much. She struggles with self harm and depressive moods, we are trying to get her help she’s in therapy and on some meds we are trying for mood stabilizing as well as ADHD. I’m just curious as someone who really doesn’t know that much about the show is she trying to tell me something? Is it something to worry about or is it cathartic? She literally watches is it over and over and in most of her spare time.
In general, if your child is obsessing over something, it behooves you as the parent to investigate it. Which is why you’re here, so good on you. :D
Her fascination with the show may be completely unrelated to her troubles, it may be her reaching out. You won’t know either way until you look into it. All we as the fandom can really do is let you know that the show deals with the issues your daughter is facing, so there is a distinct possibility for that connection. The rest is up to you.
