The Supernatural

Even though my mum thinks the CW television show "Supernatural" is sheer evil, I have watched it and am now addicted. She doesn't know this of course. Granted, the show is about evil spirits, ghosts, demons, etc. but at the core is the struggle of two brothers against the natural (and unnatural) world.
Since my sister and even my friends really aren't all that close to me, I needed to find a different outlet for my confusing/scary emotions. I have chosen this television show. I feel a connection to the character Sam Winchester because he is an intelligent person trying his hardest to fight the evil inside him; I may not be one of the yellow-eyed demon's chosen, but I lead a battle against my OCD, depression and anxiety (example: my last entry). I know this seems entirely irrational to someone outside my situation, but I sometimes watch the episodes and believe that if Sam can keep his moral center against the agents of the devil then I can hold off my self-destruction.

Let's take a moment to survey all of this: What sort of world do we live in when the depressed youth find more comfort in the fictitious realm than in reality? One of the first steps in the treatment of any mental illness is seek help, talk it out with someone. But where has everyone gone?
