i generally avoid talking about it much because i know so many people love it, but i get really tired of seeing people rec the bright sessions as an honest portrayal of mental illness and etc because while the podcast does do a pretty good job talking about things like depression and anxiety, it also has an actual practicing therapist describe her patient, who she’s known for years, as potentially having a personality disorder and the punishing him for showing symptoms. there’s so much i could say about damien being the only character with a personality disorder, and how everyone’s allowed to learn and grow while he has his power taken from him, suffers medical abuse, and is left forced to make his way through society as someone who has not only never finished high school, but has never had a positive relationship with literally anyone ever

but, idk, i’m glad other people found it relatable. i guess having a power that activates with your anxiety is pretty cool, but cindy moon’s existed for years now and honestly, she’s way more interesting to me than sam
