Great in theory

[philstar22]

What are some media where you loved the idea of it, but the actual media wasn't good?

Re: Great in theory

[(Anonymous)]

Obligatory Once Upon A Time mention. Soooooo much wasted potential.

Re: Great in theory

For movies, The Revenant. So boring.

The Matrix.

This novel I read ages ago, don't remember the title or the name of the author but it was Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper. Should have been great, right? It was terrible, boring and with really bad dialogue.

Admittedly i was a young child but... when I saw the VHS cover for the DTV Secret of NIMH sequel I had a lot of wild mental images about it that i realize now that were a lot better then the Disney-fied nonsense that was the actual one.

I liked it as a kid but looking back.. it was very disappointing compared to what my eight year old imagination conjured up .

Disney Dreamlight Valley. I wanted to love it, but then they started making you pay for extra DLC content that should've been free...

Re: Great in theory

[(Anonymous)]

Oof, I wish I had better recall, because I /know/ I have a good answer for this, but I just can't remember!

Gotham is one, it had some really good moments but got so messy and threw itself in the garbage every time it got close to doing something right. Nigma's clone girlfriend, "Gal Pal's", ugh.

Honestly the Margot Robbie Barbie Movie for me. it had so much fun potential and good bits but theme wise it was a shallow mess, and it was fuckin shitty in this day and age to end on vagina joke

How do you cheer yourself up when you're feeling discouraged? TW: depression, mention of suicide

[(Anonymous)]

I know this is largely because I lost my job, but I just feel so discouraged and hopeless about everything. It's kind of been building up for awhile, but that's really pushed me over. I haven't thought about anything else except for that. Nothing makes me happy, I'm just feeling like I'm in suspended animation and going through the motions. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut for over a decade. And the general state of the world is just so horrifically depressing. I know things have always been that way, really, but now with the internet and technology I know about horrible things that are happening to people all over the world. I'm NOT suicidal, not at all, BUT I do sometimes think that if a bomb took me out or I died in a car accident it wouldn't be all bad. I just don't currently have any sort of "zest for life" or anything that really inspires me, nothing I'm looking forward to. I'm also in a shitty romantic relationship, so that's nothing that helps, in fact it makes it all WORSE because I'm unhappy with this individual but I lack the capability to split up. I'm just so tired. Not physically tired, but mentally and emotionally tired. Well, and kind of physically tired too, but that's not the main problem.

First, I'm so sorry, nonny. I've been there a lot recently too, and it really sucks. I really hope things get better for you (and the world) and that you find some hope and joy again.

For me, my kitty helps a lot. Before she was in my life, I would either go to a cat cafe or volunteer at a local shelter that let people go in and either walk the dogs or socialize the cats. Being around animals always helps me. Even visiting a zoo. A membership at the Boston aquarium got me through law school. When I was stressed I'd go and watch the penguins.

I also watch hopeful media. things that brighten my spirit. Not depressing things, things with at least some level of hopefulness.

And I find someone to talk to, whether that is a therapist or a fellow attorney who I can commiserate with. Just letting things out can be so helpful. I highly recommend seeing a therapist. I have depression, it makes me flat. I can tell when I'm in a bad period, even with my antidepressant, and need to go back to the therapist. And my mother just got put on an antidepressant temporarily. It isn't a lifelong illness for her the way it is for me, but she's struggling right now. Medication can really help sometimes to get you out of a bad place, even if you only need it for a little while.

If you can, take a break from the news and get out into nature. It sounds corny, but there is some evidence that being around trees helps boost your serotonin levels. Bring a little treat or something and have coffee and a donut while looking for the first signs of spring.

On the less fun side, try to keep your diet and sleep cycle healthy, because that'll help. I don't want to pry about why you can't leave your relationship, but... being in a bad relationship can be an invisible drain on your mental health. If finances or something else is keeping you there, maybe have a brainstorm about what would have to happen to enable you to get free of this person. If it's an emotional reluctance, sometimes people who free themselves of a bad relationship are surprised by how much lighter and happier they feel, because they didn't realize how much it was bringing them down.

Good luck and I hope things get better for you, nonny.

I feel you. I've lost a job in a year I was becoming 40. The job sucked and I should have ditched it earlier, but this made my depression just worse.
I am aroace and have no partner, so that's fun too.
There were many factors in. The short version I was so damn low.
Things that helped me the most - making plans. For job search - yeah, it's mainly sucks ass, but also I had fun going to different weird places. Finding free or cheap things I can do. Going outside the city. And everything had to have a plan so I was in control of something.

So sorry you've been dealing with all of this. It takes patience and remembering that you won't feel better right away.

Take pride in little victories and in small moments of happiness, even if a day had more bad than good if there was some good that's something to celebrate. I get depressed when I'm out of work too. Routines and hobbies have been life savers for me.

I don't know your situation with your relationship but I hope you can make a change soon, an unhappy relationship can really make things harder.

What is some media you were not sure about....

One Piece Live Action. I tried the anime and HATED it.

[philstar22]

Starfleet Academy. I didn't hate it per say, but I was meh on Discovery and didn't finish it. I really haven't watched much new media at all in the last few years. But I'm really loving Academy, it has become a favorite of mine.

The Untamed. I really did follow that meme of
1) Oh, this is nonsense. This is bad.
2) Actually, this is very watchable nonsense...
3) I have never been more obsessed in my life!

S1 of Arcane. I'd seen it recced and had it recced to me, but I don't watch a lot of animated content, so that made me hesitate. And then for some reason the thumbnail Netflix kept using for it was an image of younger Vi with the tech glove, about to take on some goons, which made it look like some kind of videogame-esque punch-em-up thing, and that didn't appeal to me at all.

It took me a couple of years to finally watch it. And then S1 of Arcane turned out to be one of my favorite seasons of TV of all time.

Pluribus. It looked depressing, tbh. And to be fair, it kind of is, because of the premise. But it's really well written so far, the main character is so well acted by Rhea Seehorn and I like seeing TV shows where a lot of thought has gone into the writing and characterization. That seems rare these days.
