When I go through a prolonged depressive episode I usually feel numb and disconnected to the world around me. To feel anything I often find my self watching sad, emotional or deep media.
Examples include - Fallen angles, Chung king express, In the mood for love, cinema Paradiso, the Holdovers , dead poets society, Drive, Million dollar baby, Vampire hunter D Bloodlust, Cyber punk edge runners, Terror in resonance, cow boy bebop, death parade.
I think I do this both as an escape from reality. But also just to feel something. If I can't feel or explain my own emotions maybe feeling somebody else's is a close replacement. Weather I can relate to the actors or not is irrelevant. I just want to see others go through trial's and tribulations . I think it also makes me feel less alone. Even if the story is fake there has to be somebody out there who feels this way. My Instagram reels an twitter feed mostly old movies and tv shows. Even those 30 second reels briefly make me feel something. Another part is it makes what I'm feeling seem more important.
Let me know if anyone else does this and please drop media recommendations.
other media that fit the above mood -
Days of wine and roses
requiem for a dream
train spotting
submarine
moonrise kingdom
KIDS
Perfect Blue
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
the bicycle thief
Black lagoon
12 angry men
neon genesis evangelion
Taxi driver
