Does anyone else get depressed the more you get into kpop?

  • Just wondering if anyone else feels this, or can relate. Sometimes it helps get through the feels when you know other people experience the same thing. I go through periods of time where I get really into kpop, and watch the content, stage clips, look at their bubble posts, etc. But it always starts this downward spiral where I start hating my boring life, feeling ugly, feeling like I'm not worth anything, etc. Then I have to take a break and focus on making myself feel better again. But I still want to enjoy kpop, so I eventually go back and the cycle continues. I'm a grown a$$ woman feeling this way, I'm not a teen. It's too 'late' for me to go be a star, so I'm not looking for those types of encouragement... I just want to know if anyone relates and how they cope with it, etc. I love kpop, but it's a little damaging to mental health obviously lol

    see this is why i'm not replying to users on this forum no more, LYING ASS!

  • alexS Wow you're so smart! I didn't even think about using copy+paste for this post!


    Plus, if she IS a grown up woman, she should definitely see a psychiatrist because this is not a mental health forum! It's pretty much like saying "Where does a dictionary belong?" to which the answer is "A dictionary belongs in the reference books category".

    I felt this way for a decent period of time but that's cause I was gloarzing things and standards I didn't understand.


    I'm not into it as much as I once was, and something I would suggest is to start slowing down or limiting the content you watch. I'm not on sns (Twitter, Instagram, or anything) so I'm not sure how much different it is now. But what I did on Pinterest and Youtube, is that with youtube you can delete all your subscriptions without deleting your email account and start over completely. I found new hobbies I enjoy, new creators I enjoy. (For example, I really enjoy things like Mina Lee, Colin And Samir, nobody, watcher, Magnus, Bobby N and Max Fosh to name a few). Including focusing or starting new hobbies, only recently did I pick up my camera again, and its been something I really enjoyed doing.


    Everything is okay in moderation, we have to realize the reality of kpop to. I'm not sure on the exact words to be comforting to you, but what I had to do at first was delete my twitter 2017 fanbase accounts I had for BTS, EXO and this Chinese group called Nine Percent.


    Keeping the account posted and my 1K followers and 800 followers up to date all the time was something that slowly became annoying to me and overwhelming. I learned that maybe having all this social media isn't for me, and that's okay!.


    I know it isn't easy, but focusing on you and your mental health is important, if you would like, I kinda made a small short playlist I think it's good to check out and can possibly offer you something in a way I can't.


    Stay healthy. 💙
