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?

(AND SOUNDS PERFECTLY NORMAL, STABLE & HEALTHY - TO ME!)
