So I’ve been Mia the past couple days of social media so only just caught up on the last few days, saw the stuff about her asking for tv recommendations and peeps getting annoyed at her for saying she needs to analyse her emotions and how she’s feeling after a tv show episode, and I thought I’d just share a little different perspective of why I believe that is okay. Please don’t come for me I’m just telling my honest truth, there is a lot I don’t like about her, I used to be a Stan and now see the light but getting annoyed over this I think invalidates a lot of others (like me) who do the exact same thing.
As someone who has had many past traumas, and from those have complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) I actually do this to and I find it really helps me survive the lasting permit effects of what my traumas did my brain.
For example like her my fiancé introduced me to breaking bad, I attempted a couple episodes it was hard but I said I’d give it my best shot, however (if you’ve seen the show you know it’s intense and you’ll know by this next Sentence what episode I’m talking about)
When The BATHTUB scene happened that was it I was out, it absolutely shook me to my core, I was already struggling because the actor reminded me too much about my father, but I tried pushing past that but when that scene came on I couldn’t anymore it Brought way too much up.
Another movie that really hit was that space mission movie with Matthew Mconhehay (I don’t know how to spell his last name anyway I think it was him) my fiancé loved it and wanted to show me, I watched it and by the end he who thought this was just a cool space movie didn’t think about the story of it really being about a father and daughter and by the end credit I suddenly broke down, I was hyperventilating scream crying into arms black out in ptsd attack crying about why I couldn’t have a father who cared, why was I the one left alone with no father I could go on but that’s just an example.
Point being after I had too many triggers I decided from then on I would a give a tv an episode or two a shot but if along the way i found my emotions and mental health going somewhere I didn’t want it to I stopped. For example some ones I had to abruptly stop watching we’re 13 RW, walking dead, riverdale, girlfriend expierence, that crazy ballerina one that came out recently, and many more.
Now I don’t know if Sarah has ever had anything super traumatic happened to her or not but regardless I think her and Kurt evaluating there emotions after and episode is or should be seen as completely healthy and normal.
Anyway that’s just my two cents about that particular issue please don’t come from I’m coming from a place as just trying to share perspective on someone who does this themselves.
things has been rolling down in the Sezzyland of Cronullafornia with her 
(This just miiiiight be on my mind because my husband is re-watching old Thrasher videos a tit-ton this month and excitedly calling me over so he can show me his favorite clips…
)
also looks like she’s used a smoothing and slimming on herself as her stomach is a bit blurry and oddly smooth in some parts of the video
I think finding a balance between enjoying a media, while keeping in mind that it is fictional (because all media is sensationalised in some way or form, based on reality or not), can be super helpful.
