A Diagnosis/Anti-Depressants Medley (Live) - The Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Concert

@@Khjaden97 really??!! That was amazing!

[@sophiaruizuvalle2523]

Holy fucking shit yes

[@Haittavero]

Way too much story to summarize in a couple of hours. The slow burn character character archs are the best part. They'd have to change it so much.

[@propogandalf]

But there's too many good songs and characters

[@maryfrancess93]

As someone with BPD I was so incredibly happy when a character was diagnosed with BPD that wasn't a ruthless, abusive, manipulator for once. She was a real person who deserved compassion. It's so misunderstood, yet so common. That representation was so important.

[@Boxofcare666]

maryfrancess93 When i learned that the character had BPD, i had the exact opposite reaction. :( The char felt so... extremely horrible and obsessive through the couple of first seasons (havent watched more because it started to get frustrating) that I felt down to be shown like that. Before she was just a quite funny but highly frustrating over the top char, so toxic for people around her and to her relationships that I could see her as a comic character, but then to link her to BPD... I felt like ”great, another horrible example for people who don’t know BPD any better”. I’m planning on watching more, in hope the char would evolve towards the more natural potrayment. Or maybe I cant feel the connection because the cultural differences? For what i saw was ruthless, abusive and manipulating act, just like before?

[@maryfrancess93]

@@Boxofcare666 no, you're right. A lot of the time I do watch the show and think about all of the mistakes she's making, and how unhealthy most of these relationships are; but what I like about the show is that every character is deeply flawed, but still goes through character development and is a real person rather than seeming like they're being written by a college kid with a half assed minor is psych.

[@bsommervold]

maryfrancess93 My question is why are Valencia and Rebecca friends? She and Josh were awful to Valencia. Plus Paula put a tracker in her arm and faced no consequences for her stalking at ALL.

[@SebWhitaker]

The moment when Michael Hyatt comes out on stage and hugs Rachel Bloom. Wow. That is pure happiness, for me at least. Nothing will top that.

[@goddessartemis8989]

I'm unsure why this happens, but each time I rewatch this clip (which I also saw when it was on the CW concert and luckily enough live at Radio City), I start CRYING when Michael Hyatt interrupts and sings "you kind of can!"...and seeing the genuine delight in Rachel's face when Michael says "because you wrote it". This show and these songs will always give me ALL the feels (as Maya would say)

Antidepressants are so not a big deal means a lot to me. I've been on antidepressants for over 5 years and it's still so hard for me to take them every day because I feel bad about needing them for the rest of my life. This song has helped me a lot

[@TigerPrawn_]

People are made to feel like not being able to cope with life of their problem, but a lot f the time it's life's problem.

[@ieatgremlins]

I’ve started mine only half a month ago but I’m really hoping they work. I love that song too! I get shit from my mom and friends who know I started taking medication for my depression but this song makes me feel less alone in that decision.

[@becbecmuffin]

Turns out the antidepressants I was taking were not fully effective. I've changed medications and this one REALLY works. I don't have trouble taking them other than just occasionally forgetting.

[@megelizabeth9492]

That’s great! Finding the right combination of medication and doses is a total pain sometimes, but can be so rewarding when you finally get it right.

@@morbidsearch ohh i see! thanks

[@DelGuy03]

I obsess over "Antidepressants" in the concert, because 7 of the cast had to learn it for the first time (compared to the original chorus). I watch one dancer at a time all through the tap sequence, then rewind (dozens of times by now. Obviously Rachel is down center, and the four experienced theater tappers are fronting behind her (VR3, Gabrielle, DLC, David H). And the 3 who are keeping up with them in the back row turn out to be Esther (dance major in college), Clark Moore (I guess those Dartmouth Aires moves served as training), and SMF (maybe that summer experience working theme parks prepared him?). Clearly I've thought way too much about this, but as Michael Hyatt says, they're fabulous.

[@striga1]

you are not the only one, I did the same rewinding thing, they are amazing! I kind of want to google their dance background!

[@danielsouthern7920]

Actually, the dance is pretty simple. Most of the moves they did are basic Tap Moves, as long as no one had two left feet, like me, it probably would have only taken an hour or two to learn.

[@goddessartemis8989]

I always wondered why Skylar Astin ducks out for the tapping...I figured he'd be a skilled enough mover to learn how to tap for this, but maybe there wasn't enough time?

[@silentsmurf]

DelGuy03 I was surprised to see Esther and Clark. Thanks for looking up their dance background and sharing!

As a person who suffers from anxiety and depression, I appreciate what this show has done for mental health stigma. My depression deepened after sustaining a brain injury over 2 years ago. Your show has been a source of laughter for me during my recovery. I will be attending the concert in NYC on May 15th. I’m nervous because I get migraines easily from loud noises and flashing lights and get over-stimulated easily due to the brain injury. However, I’m going to take the risk so that I can have some enjoyment and a sense of normalcy. Thank you for bringing me joy and laughter!
