Mostly I've been watching true crime documentaries lately, which may go some way to explaining the general sense of pessimism that's been invading my life. They often make for pretty depressing viewing, and sometimes in ways the documentary makers don't necessarily seem to have intended or been aware of. Especially not fun watching as a woman and a queer person, but there's something satisfying about them nonetheless. Probably my favourite is the innocence files, as while there is the awfulness of the time lost, the incredible injustices of their trials and convictions, at least it ends with them getting out.

Maybe I should go watch something animated and cheerful instead.

It's so hard to break away from media that's not good for you, but also fascinates you. I hope you can find something that helps you feel better!

*hugs if wanted*

It really is kind of a compulsion, which is generally how I engage with absolutely everything - I live without a dimmer switch. :D I'll try to persuade the flatmate into watching something with me - maybe the new Hawkeye series, or the amazing chocolate guy who has a series coming on Netflix, because watching new media is always less stressful with someone else. XD

Hugs are always appreciated, thank you!

Reminds me of the months I spent watching way too much Criminal Minds; that fascinating-but-very-RL-adjacent flavour can be addicting but hard to swallow after a while. Hope you can find a way to step back from the fascination (mine waned eventually, maybe yours will, too?) and/or sidetrack your brain into something else that's equally fascinating and a bit more cheerful. *hugs*
