I am inspired to do this post because I saw a YouTube review on son of Godzilla and said it would be a good escapism movie. I was wondering what others would be considered to be such. As I have been going through some depression and personal issues lately, I think this would benift me and help me feel better. Thank you.

Hey Riley, first and foremost - I hope you're okay. Depression can be a debilitating  state and the world can easily look and feel contrary to how it actually is. Our minds are powerful, they can warp our reality and influence our perceptions based on involuntary feelings motivated by any number of causes. Even though I'm just some random person on a random forum on the internet and my words might not have much impact - I hope what I say resonates to some degree with you. Sometimes it just takes one person, one phrase, one thought to shift our perspective and mentality - and thus, our reality.

I encourage you to sit with your emotions and query them. Are they based on reality? Or are they a manifestation of fear and worry? Anxiety is nothing more than stress about the future - a future you, nor I have any knowledge of. If it's regret over events from your past which continue to surface and cause you grief, I encourage you to ask yourself why they still have an impact on you right now and then ask yourself how much of that you can control? The ONLY moment we have any control over is right now - the present. The past can't be re-done, the future is not certain. The only moment you have is right now. Focus only on the factors you can control and don't spend any time worrying about factors you can't control.

I've experienced bouts of depression and anxiety and they were often influenced by fear and events I could not control. I found peace once I was able to focus on the NOW and not worry about tomorrow or yesterday. The other side of battling depression is a hyper focus on GRATITUDE. Wake up each day expecting nothing - but be thankful and grateful for everything that occurs for you - good / bad - they don't exist - cause you can't have good without bad, it's all just part of the experience which is to be Human.

And as a Human you are a manifestation of energy. Every atom in your body vibrates to a frequency influenced by your mind and the electrons firing through it. You literally create your reality as you experience it. Know you are a powerful being. Know you are enough. Know you are everything you need. You don't need to escape, you need to be still and remind yourself that you are uniquely perfectly imperfect and you are experiencing a moment in time you will never get to experience again. So, enjoy the moment - even the moments that feel difficult to enjoy. Shit will happen, life is full of ups and downs, but tomorrow is never promised. So each day, you have a new opportunity to be a better you and experience this life some more. Make the most of it!

Regarding your OP - Son of Godzilla is quite literally an escapism plot, so it certainly fits the requirement - however, from one Human to another, I'm telling you, there's nothing you need to escape from - you're right where you need to be for a reason and I hope you find comfort and peace in knowing you are part of something larger than your darkest days. I hope this reply helps in some way! Sending love your way!
