>>84021843Before I saw Zootopia, I had been dealing with serious depression (two near suicide attempts, kept secret) that I didn't talk to anyone about irl and took precautions to make sure it stayed that way.
I was actually thinking of a third suicide attempt when my younger sister suggested we go see it.
I knew nothing about the movie other than WDAS was behind it. So I bought two tickets online, drove us to the cinema, bought overpriced popcorn and soda, and sat down to watch the film.
I loved it. On the ride home I spontaneously stopped for takeout, and as my sister was gushing over how Nick and Judy were totally a couple, I silently decided to at least try to turn myself around.
I booked a personal trainer package to help regain the muscle I lost thanks to two years of hard depression, applied myself more at work, made an effort to smile at my collegues. I even picked up a new hobby, astronomy, bought a nice telescope a few weeks ago.
In the three months since, I've made improvements, and people have noticed.
I've still got a long way to go, but I'm slowly getting there.
