I'M SO SORRY I POSTED IT IN THE WRONG THREAD AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO EDIT
SO STUUUUUPID D: OH MY GOD

***

So apparently I've reached this point in life when everything sucks so much it's not even worthy of wallowing in it and is not even that painful, just... I don't know, tragically, absurdly funny or something, and I feel like absolutely powerless and stupid for what I used to think of my problems and myself and the world up to this point and I want to simply sit down and admire the nonsense I yesterday considered my flawless philosophy and I don't know, give it a lot of sympathy and let it go? And, BTW, it's not so much about external troubles (though I am going through some), as it is about an existential crisis of a sort.

So I've been really REALLY craving some angsty literature/movies/anime to enjoy while struggling with this. Need some so badly x__x I want it to be angsty but at the same time as realistic (psychologically) and mature as possible; and I admit it would be better if the work was focused on something a person my age (early 20s) could relate to, no Checkhov. Unrequited love is a plus. What should I read/watch?

I know I'm a little late, but I couldn't wait till tomorrow.

Try the anime Kino's Journey--I watched it during a similar time in my life and some of it really resonated with me.

And I hope the troubles, external or not, let up for you.

Oh, thank you! <3 KJ is actually on my PTW list :) Will check it out definitely.

Hourou Musuko could be an interesting experience for you. I also bawled like a baby at Steins;Gate, but that could just be me.

Thank you!

Chill the fuck out, oh my god.

If you could find Doing Time on Maple Drive, I'd recommend it. It's about a "perfect family" that is anything but as the youngest kid (William McNamara) is about to get married but is struggling with his sexuality, one kid (Jim Carrey) is an underachieving alcoholic, and one kid (Jayne Brook) is arguing with her husband over whether they should start a family when her father clearly thinks they shouldn't just yet.

The bulk of the story centers on Matt, the yougest, who goes through a lot. Pretty much every summary on the big sites gives a lot of space to Jim Carrey, but his role is really quite small.

There's also Bang Bang, You're Dead, which isn't nearly as treacly as the Netflix summary implies:
What could possibly lead teenagers to kill their peers with guns and firepower? That is the perpelxing question this film, based on a play that has been produced at schools all over America, attempts to answer. Trevor Adams (Ben Foster) is a smart kid who's feeling cowed by the popular crowd. Lonely, he finds companionship in the Trogs, a group who voices its disgruntlement through pranks and deadly assault. Can a concerned teacher save him?

And one of my personal favorites, Ordinary People. From Netflix:
Everything is in its proper place in the Jarrett household -- except the past. Mary Tyler Moore scored an Oscar nod for her role as repressed mother Beth Jarrett, whose favorite son has died, leaving her with another (Timothy Hutton) she can barely tolerate. The film also netted four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Robert Redford, in his directorial bow), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for young Hutton.

Sorry, I just... Let's say I didn't have a particularly good day. Acting awkwardly on the Internet wasn't exactly the way I wished to end it, I'm drained the way it is. Ugh >__<

Wow, that's one thoughtful list of recommendations, how kind of you :) I'm so grateful, will check out some of those ASAP. Thanks!

I replied in your thread above, but here's a copy pasta.

Are you looking for pro stuff, or will fanfic work? Because one of the angstiest, surprisingly realistic fics I've read is this Harry Potter story where Arthur Weasley finds Percy after a suicide attempt and, via the contents of Percy's journal, learns what drove him to that point.

It deals with family estrangement and loneliness, the war and (major spoiler): .
