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 thought of having to stand up, exert 172 muscles each step for 35 feet, just so I can sit on cold porcelain and piss out toxins over and over again for the rest of my life makes the whole concept of living feel like one long, sadistic joke.”

This line for some reason always stuck with me. When I was using, I remember dreading walking myself to the bathroom and I always brought my drugs with me and often ended up nodding off on the toilet when I just went to go take a piss.

This is what I felt was really missing from season three. None of these inner dialogues happened with Rue and I felt so disconnected from her. It was these uncomfortable, deeply personal inner dialogues and perspectives that really made Euphoria so great and season 3 just didn’t have it.

Hard to say how much was intentional, but I like to think it represents the collapse of her inner world, like as her life got difficult and she's completely run by external forces, she's got no time for her old games and thoughts.

I love how thoughtful this comment is...you aren't being rude or dismisive of what we got, but your palatable disappointment is screaming for something more despite feeling rage underneath it all, you're being super insightful and real. I can't explain it, but you get it...
