Perks Depression Scene

[@orlandobabe]

It’s terrible when children are molested, doesn’t matter if it was a stranger, a friend or a family member. It’s a crime and they must be stopped.

[@orlandobabe]

@@sophiamundy2220 he was molested by his aunt

[@hyethga]

Because it's done by somebody you trust, it hurts much more, and when it's done on a persistent basis (like by a family member) it makes the process of recovering from it that much more difficult. Note how Charlie is also defending her - something which is very typical of abuse victims since they can't bring themselves to admit that somebody who is meant to love and care for them would so completely betray them.

[@spaghettibolognese5838]

it's terrible when anyone is molested

[@orlandobabe]

@@hyethga So true. The abuser has power over the victim when the victim defends their abuser. One because the victim blames themselves and the other is that if the victim stops defending the abuser then they end up admitting the events were real and it was abuse.

SaturnDan Ik im not the original poster but from personal experience i would say TheBriBoat.

[@foxcharin]

SaturnDan As someone with experience, it’s always better to get your feelings out instead of keeping it in. It’s that build up of shame and anger and sadness that allows us to feed into negative feelings. That allows us to contemplate hurting ourselves and suicide. In the end, it allows them to win and for us to always lose. So, to get it out there is most definitely worth it.

Well I am in no place or state to be compared to you.. but I know that secrets and buried emotions gets heavy overtime. It can affect your behavior development if you're young and ultimately your life. Opening up about it helps... Also the older you get the more you'd be able to face your problems. I hope you are okay now? Please don't be afraid.. Please be strong.

[@waffleita3837]

This movie is the reason why I was able to deal with the fact that my cousin molested me when I was younger. No one know how much it destroys relationships and your brain. How it makes you react to things that no one else would react to. How it feels like everything is going wrong and you’re a burden.

[@kaptainkoffee9074]

When I was fourteen I was touched by a heroine addict my mom allowed to be a roommate of ours. It was my first sexual experience and I didn't really know how to say no to the advances. Later in college the first girl I ever shared sex with I ended having a convulsing panic attack on top of her while we were making out and she understood immediately understood me and opened up about how hearing someone's heartbeat gives her anxiety because her dad died in front of her from a heart attack when she was 8. It's strange but I think that was the only time in recent memory where I really connected to another person. Since then I don't think I've ever really connected completely because that pain makes sense to me and I don't know how to be on the same wave length as healthy people. I feel the same way you do about the movie. I hope everything works out for people like us.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

I wasn't really actually sexually assaulted but at my last job, they had cameras but one of the owners sons I guess watched the cameras to watch my co-workers and I work basically. He was watching us for his own pleasure pretty much, watching a bunch of young girls trying to do there jobs. It's not my only experience with creepy stuff like that but I was fully clothed and yet I felt violated. It's not the only thing that happened that involved I guess abuse and stuff. I just recalled this a couple days ago. Trying to just move on or something. I'm so sorry you were sexually assaulted.

I remember how he wrapped his arms around me to tell me it would all be okay, and that the pain will go away soon. But it never did. Ever since that day that he first did it, it feels like my insides are bleeding. I feel dirty no matter how many times i scrub at my skin in the shower. I can always feel his breathe against my right ear, I can’t bear to look at myself in the mirror anymore without seeing some vulnerable boy that could’ve stopped it. Everyone tells me that it wasn’t my fault but I sure don’t believe that. I feel broken, forever broken. I can’t even handle people embracing me anymore. So what’s the point in living in this reality where he gets to live life to his fullest when I’m stuck here forever feeling like the little kid i once was, i remember telling my friend about what happened to me and all he did was laugh and say that you would never do that to me. You didn’t seem like the type of person to do those things, but you did. Nowadays I still flinch and despise taking pictures because of what you’ve done to me. Each time the camera would flicker you’d strip more of my innocence away, and no matter how many times you apologize I won’t forget those 4 years that you ruined me. To my Older Cousin

"Dear Friend" So, back when I was in college in the 90s, my college girlfriend told me that the main character of this book kept reminding her of me. I was a little curious, but couldn't do much about it because I struggled with reading comprehension. However, since then, I have seen the movie and I am in the process of getting the book to read now that my reading comprehension has improved. I know that it's been awhile since I have been in high school, but I'm anxious to find a "relatable character". I am writing this specifically to try to reach someof the other Charlies out there, if you have healed from whatever happened, how did you do it ?

The most valuable thing you can give to anyone is honesty, your time and attention, and that includes toward yourself. And when you are kind, truly kind to others you are also being kind to yourself. Ask for what you need from the people who love you, spend time outside and follow your intuition, that's my advice to myself so maybe it'll help you too. Love always

Dear John, I can't really write anything in a collected sort of way, but yeah, I have gone through some tough times. I'm actually going through something even now. But what I've learnt from my life that you'll always have the chance to be better, to get better. You'd be able to be happy. And everything that happens to you doesn't happen for a reason, but you can turn it into something that is your story. I don't know if you're religious or not, but I am, so a lot of my thoughts and hopes are about God and spirituality. Even if you are not religious, you can always believe that we're something more than we look or feel like- it's an amazing thing. So to everyone who's reading this, to everyone who's struggling, love yourself, love your people out there, take care of each other. Listen and learn. Hope and pray.

Mostly, my mom and I would tell them more then once that the other kids were picking on me and stuff and the teachers wouldn't do anything.

I realized something the other day. I feel like I'm being used. I feel like I'm just a body and I feel like anyone that tries to get close to me in any intimate/romantic sense has wants something from me. Deep down I know there are issues but I guess I grew comfortable with shoving it deep in my subconscious where I can't actually see anymore.

[@marty3139]

Im gonna vent because I have nobody to talk to about it and this movie reached to me. I was 9 and my dad's cousin at first he seemed like such a cool dude such a caring loving and sweet guy but when he started to visit my family more often, he started to be way too affectionate and touchy, he showed affection the same way as my dad but it always felt wrong it didnt feel like your typical family member that loves their niece, it felt sexual but at the time I didn't realize how wrong it was. The one thing that did confirm to me how he had officially molested not just me but now my sisters to was 4 years lated when he reached my dad again and decided to visit and bring his parents too. As soon as he entered through that door I felt that same uncomfortable vibe he'd always bring when he'd hug me. I didn't want to admit it i didn't want to think about it. That guy without shame locked himself and my sister in the bathroom and did whatever molestors do to my little sister. I remember how lifeless her eyes looked, how she seemed so confused and uncomfortable coming out with that man. I asked her what he did to her and it was just unexplicable the stuff she was telling me that moment. The rest of the day I tried so hard for that man to stay away from her and locked ourselves for hours till he left, I didn't care if my parents scolded me for being disrespectful to the guests. I gained the courage to tell my mom that same day and im so so glad she believed me. That day felt like a horrible nightmare, I remember every single piece of that day, how scared I was, how much I was shaking knowing that I was right all the time and that I failed to protect my sister from him but it was far too late to have done anything by that point. I pray everyday that that man suffers for what he did to my sister and if not I will find a way to make him sorry for it. This movie has reasonated with me like no other movie has ever and I truly hope my sister can heal from that trauma and that her brain buries that memory as far far down as possible.

[@angelopellicci179]

This entire scene really resonates with me on a very deep level. The summer of last year was pretty shit. Honestly every time was really shit, but that summer had some definite highlights. I thankfully never suffered sexual abuse, but I have my fair share of emotional and familial trauma, as well as a slew of other problems that fucked with me for years. That shit just gets to you and overtakes your whole life. When Charlie was alone at home, walking through the house frantically, holding back his tears, and then finally looked at the knife, it’s exactly what it was like for me when I was close to harming myself with my own kitchen knife. I was just so stuck in my head for so long, and at that point I was overwhelmed with the cluster fuck of regrets, traumas, self hating, and my whole life just playing out with me wishing things were different. When you’re in that place it just seems like nothing ever went right, and that everything is your fault, and that everyone and everything would be better off without you. But in reality you’re probably just using that as an excuse to justify the selfish want of wanting to kill yourself because u hate everything about you. You do it for you. I ended up being sent to the ER after having admitted to how I constantly told myself to just kill myself already and the number of times I came close to acting upon it. The doctor that came into the room had such a similar voice to the one in this clip, and it was a very weird feeling having my dad find out about everything. I’m doing my damn best rn to be in a better place, but goddamn it’s hard.

She pushed a little to hard if that was the first meeting, risky but to each his own

This was in 1991. Mental health approaches have changed sooo much since

[@christianwehner5565]

@@samuelgunderson6187 Not sure it's a time thing, the more delicate, meet-the-client-where-they-are approach without pushing interpretations or agendas is old. Roger's person centered is from the 40's which is arguably the strongest movement which encouraged unconditional positive regard and the client being the center of treatment rather then illness, or theory.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

I kind of feel a similar way to how he feels. I just remembered a lot of repressed memories that I have from school and my last job. I wasn't actually sexually assaulted but I remember certain things like at my last job, the owners oldest son (older then my coworkers and I) basically spying and watching us on the cameras. It wasn't just to make sure that we were doing our jobs though. There were other things too like abuse in general. I've had people threaten to kill me/beat me up, I've been beat up before, people act creepy in certain ways towards me, etc. My family was more abusive in other ways like emotionally and verbally abusive. Watching this movie kind of helps me to deal with it all. Edit: My mom has hit me before too. I was actually physically assaulted both at school and at work mostly though.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

I was also sexually abused. They punched in the crotch area and then tried to check if I was really a boy or girl because I said ow and groaned and my bosses son used to watch my coworkers and I on the cameras at my last job. I always felt afraid of him.

[@otaku1549]

I feel ya 😔. I am actually dealing what charlie's dealing with since high school 'til now. Its kinda really hard for me because no one knows what i really feel. I never open up myself to anyone. I overthink all the things of what will happen if i tell them. Thats why now i still dont know what really is the answer to what i feel. I did not consult anyone even an expert about this coz i really have a hard time talking to someone. Most(or few) of us, deals with this kind of feelings, are not participating because we are not a good speaker nor having confidence to stand facing other people. Sorry if i dont elaborate very much coz its hard for me till now.

VADER 99 It’s more like a purging crying is very cathartic and it takes you off of your own problems and out of the disassociation is sometimes good sometimes you just need to feel bad but it’s easier when you feel bad about fictional characters so you can relate to rather than your own life and it sort of cathartic and away the story becomes almost like a surrogate

Ok, hear me out, I have a reason of depression, I don’t want to sound bad or anything, but I feel like I’ve lost and been through more than most can handle, at just the age of 8 months I was malnourished and neglected, at the age of 2-13 I was abused physically, mentally, and sexually (only once though) by both parents and their friends, at the age of 4 I was beat to the verge of breaking down totally, at the age of 6 I was raped, at 7 I lost my father to suicide one day after my birthday, when I was 8 my mother was addicted to drugs, at that point on I was abused and neglected, malnourished, starved, and was also abused by her girlfriend, I am quite unintelligent, this sounds stupid but also very unlucky and Unattractive, I was broken and still suffer from trauma to this day, I… don’t think I long for this world, or contribute much, I will always be alone, I don’t understand why this happened, but there is nothing I can do about it
