help I’m having emotions about a cartoon antidepressant trying to be useful
#mental health#medication#i feel like there's something here about like#normalcy#and the lady not necessarily wanting this life#like presumably she takes the pill because this is the life she wants but her mental illness doesn't let her have it#it's just in this gifset it looks more like the pill is pushing her into#conformity#and while she doesn't resist she isn't really grateful either#there's just this little dying voice in her heart that says this isn't the life she hoped for#but she doesn't hope anymore#that's why she took the pill#except even a pill can't make her hope for THIS#all it does is help her to settle for what she thinks she's supposed to have#why is she sad#this is what everyone wants for her#this is what everyone says she's supposed to want#so why is she sad#she's given up on whatever her real dream was#she doesn't even know what it was anymore#whatever--it was unrealistic#don't ask about it#she'll look stupid and selfish#god so privileged right even thinking of wanting to enjoy life#people don't get to enjoy life that's not how life works who does she think she is#besides what she has is good#so much more than what many people have#it's a good life everyone tells her that#she's lucky to have it#so why isn't the pill making her love this (via)
