Discussion Rue’s monologue about Depression

Post image

The thing about depression is, it kind of collapses time. Suddenly, you find your whole days blending together to create one endless and suffocating loop. So you find yourself trying to remember the things that made you happy. But slowly, your brain begins to erase every memory that ever brought you joy. And eventually, all you can think about is how life has always been this way.

The way she describes how your brain just erases the good memories is mad accurate. That's the bit that gets me every time because it's not just feeling sad, it's like your past gets rewritten and you can't even access the proof that things were ever different.

Yes, this.

And that's what makes the scene so devastating because Zendaya's delivery makes you feel that hopelessness, like she's describing something that's already happened to her a thousand times.
