10 Movies To Uplift You From Depression

Among my strongest tools to combat depression is distraction, and one of the best distractions is watching a movie. Watching the right movie has an antidepressant effect, as it relieves the brain of the obsessive, ruminating, self-defeating loop for two consecutive hours. The brain can readjust a little during those 120 minutes and is a bit kinder when the film is over. The list of uplifting movies is as long and comprehensive as the negative thoughts going through a depressive’s head, but here is a list of my 10 picks.

1. Airplane

It’s not your standard inspirational flick, but it has me laughing out loud every time I watch it, and laughter is one of the very best things you can do for a depressed brain. This movie’s one-liners are so stupid that they are funny. Even the 31st time. Surely it will make you feel better, and don’t call me Shirley.

2. The Sound of Music

I know the lines by heart now, but I get goose bumps every time I watch this flick. The music combined with the theme of hope and love uplifts and inspires me.

3. It’s a Wonderful Life

Businessman George Bailey (James Stuart) reminds us that we have touched far more people in our lives than we think, that there are angels that surround us, and that there is hope even for the most desperate.

4. Good Will Hunting

Anyone struggling to find a sense of identity will resonate with this film in which Will Hunting, a janitor at MIT, is brilliant but misguided. A savvy psychologist (Robin Williams) helps him to find direction in his life.

5. Rocky

I confess that I listen to the Rocky soundtrack when I think I can’t do it anymore … I can’t keep putting one leg in front of the other. Seeing Sylvester Stallone persevere through sheer torture with an impressive single-mindedness inspires me to go forward in my quest for sanity despite the many demons in my head that say I should surrender.

6. Rain Man

I empathized and identified with the autistic savant brother Raymond Babbitt (Dustin Hoffman) as soon as I met him. He counts straws, is petrified of running water, and has so many peculiarities that a road-trip across the country proves nearly impossible. But his heart is good and pure and because of that he will be okay.

7. E. T.

If you consider mental illness to be a scary land in which feel you feel alienated from just about everything, you will relate to E.T. and his quest to go home. A story about friendship, rebirth, and hope, this movie is full of inspirational one-liners: “Be good.” “I’ll be right here.”

8. Field of Dreams

When Iowa corn farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) hears a voice that says, “If you build it, he will come,” he interprets that to mean if he constructs a baseball field on his farm, the Chicago Black Sox will come. He does and they do. A movie that underscores the power of belief in your convictions, I come away inspired that if I believe I will be well, I will, in fact, be well.

9. Forrest Gump

It’s hard not to fall in love with Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) who, with a low IQ, seems to have succeeded at everything he has stumbled onto in his life, except for securing his childhood sweetheart, Jenny. The movie is chock full of great one-liners ( “Mama always said life is like a box of chocolates”) and lessons, like anyone can love anyone.

10. Rudy

This film is a tad cheesy, but I love it for two reasons: It was filmed when I was at Saint Mary’s College in Indiana, right across the street from Notre Dame. I also appreciate its message of perseverance, courage, and conviction to overcome all odds.

Итак...что нового...или не очень...
Ем я мало. Обед мне урезали, на полдник яблоко, ужинаю чуть-чуть, а то и совсем нет, завтрак - капелька росы, условно говоря. И никаких спагетти и прочего. Посмотрим во что это выльется. Правда занимаюсь эту неделю плохо. Второй уровень Джиллиан начала в вс, но пн пропустила из-за дней, вторник кое-как отзанималась, вчера тоже пропустила ибо все-таки заболела. И сегодня, видимо тоже пропущу по той же причине...

Купила вчера Колдрекс, дай думаю попробую еще эту хрень. Выпила. + аспирин и прочее. Решила быстро поставить себя на ноги, чтобы не тянулась вся эта канитель. В итоге в 8 вечера вчера вырубилась (хотя на нем написано не вызывает сонливости), проснулась 23.30, походила, закинулась еще колдрексом и легла спать до утра. Щас вот сижу на работе, в пледике с рукавами, который мне Димочка умыкнул с работы)) продолжаю пить чай с медом и лимоном. Мёд правда заканчивается, придется кого-нить отправить сегодня в магазин.

Сегодня еще надо ехать посылку забирать, которую EMS не смог доставить, т.к. у них там какой-то не тот адрес указан, позвонить они, конечно, не могли уточнить перед доставкой. Просто решили не возить. Чтобы привезли надо написать 105 заявлений и доказать, что ты не верблюд. Потому переоформила на самовывоз, проще блин. И все из-за двух оставшихся чехлов.

Какая-то неделя тяжкая в общем. Дима за 4 дня, только 1 день ходил на тренировку, просто не может встать :gigi:

Со мной в субботу последний раз прыгал)))

В качестве моральной компенсации вот думаю себе сейчас че-нить заказать небольшое на Ozon)
