Hey- I was just talking to my therapist about this today. I tend to do the same thing. When I am depressed I watch all sorts of stuff I know compounds it... especially Prozac Nation, Helen, and Girl Interupted. I listen to depressing or angry music. So I spent some time with my T trying to figure out why. The answer? Is because I so despartely want to be understood. The movies/songs reflect my mood and makes me not feel so alone because they are portraying what I feel. If no one around me understands, the actors/artists seem to..

That's my reasoning. Not saying it's right, my T told me it was a bad idea. And it is. But I tried watching some movies that I used to think were really funny- and when I'm in deep depression they just aren't even funny to me. They seem stupid.

It's difficult. And you may have different reasons for watching them- maybe you should find out why. But anyway, I share in your struggle just so you know.
