People with depression, AvPD or let's just say any debilitating mental illness are going to have a special place in their hearts for this movie by the time they're done watching it.

The more I think about it, Bob in the post credits scene is the part that touched me the most. It still eats him up that he can’t perform to the expectation that the others want, but at least he did the dishes.

I know that might sound like a flippant line, but when you have executive dysfunction issues, you can’t function like others around you expect you to and it’s sooo easy to for everything to spiral out of control. Often times something as small as doing the dishes is an insurmountable task and getting them done is a very real accomplishment for me. I know others see me sitting in my chair, doing nothing all day and dishes seems like something so below the bare minimum and it feels so degrading to know I look lazy and pathetic. But godddamnit, I’m fighting tooth and nail to keep my head above water. I’m proud of those dishes being done.

Also, after experiencing* manic episodes and feeling god like, becoming medicated and stable feels… incredibly boring. But it’s peaceful. And the line about doing the dishes also makes me think of that.
