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.
I would watch it with her and use it as a way to try and ease into talking about her mental health. I haven’t watched the show since the last season came out, and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not as depressed as I was, or if I’m just slightly burnt out on it bc I would watch it on repeat. I used to use the show as ways of like mentally checking in with myself like “do I just want to watch the show bc I like it Or because I need to feel better about being sad”
