What to watch when depressed

Don’t know how serious depression is taken in other parts of the world but in India, people don’t think of it as a disease. People go through depression alone and most of the time don’t even know it themselves. It is a sad situation.

Feeling fatigued, sad thoughts, feelings of hopelessness are some of the characteristics of depression. Having someone who understands you during this time is a big help but what to do when you are alone? One thing I feel can be helpful is to watch a movie. It has helped me in many ways. There are times when you feel like crying your heart out and then there are times when you want to forget all your worries and laugh. You can do that by watching a good movie with friends or alone.

Movies can help a person escape from their unwanted feelings. It can make you feel better if not for too long then at least for a little while. They can also encourage you to improve your life.

So, if you are fighting blues here are a few movies that can help you feel better.

Inside out
This is again a good movie to watch when you feeling depressed and want some strength to move on. This is an animated children’s film about an 11-year-old girl.
