What is it that makes the office so good for depression?
There's some element of the show that makes everything seem okay. Every day for the last 20 years, I am always upset, isolated, alone. There isn't a whole lot that makes things better. That is to say I'm not a shut in, I actually kind of get a bit manic and do some crazy stuff like run outside naked and dance around in crowds and post it on social media but sometimes I just get quiet, lay down for a whole month in bed without moving and I can watch clips from the office, and I feel like everything is okay. No other show does this. I can't explain what it is about the show. I heard online that this is one of the most popular shows for depressed or hopeless people. I kind of discovered it when I had to get surgery awhile ago and just binged it for the first time, but I always come back to clips.
