Day 3 -- Have you seen You're The Worst??

This is one of my favorite shows! I am rewatching currently, and I can relate most to Gretchen.

Currently in the show, she is slipping into deep depression -- as in she is completely numb and cannot do anything other than cry and lay motionless on the couch. I've had episodes like this as well, though not usually for as long as hers.

It's particularly weird because I can feel myself slipping into that same level of depression while watching her do the same -- and somehow that's helping keep me afloat? Don't get me wrong; I am still hurting. But I'm managing to work through it a bit better while I watch her doing the same thing.

It's like I am seeing someone out in the middle of a lake. I can see her out there, and I know she needs help. I can't help her, but seeing her out there also makes me realize I shouldn't go any further in. I don't know if that's the best parallel, but it's what is sticking in my brain.

Anyhow, Happy Thursday!
