This is my favorite modern animated movie it´s so insanely relateable and depicts depression so perfectly well, how Riley´s 'Islands' I have no hobbies or passions or friends anymore so seeing Riley´s Hockey Island (her hobby/passion) and friendship island goes to the dumb along with goofball island is so heartbreaking to watch it´s like watching what happened to me just on another person it´s so relateable.
Also the core memories being thrown in the dumb hits me really hard too because it also feels like I can visually see all my memories from my childhood and even teenage years disappear only it happens to Riley of course but my memories from my youth are so vague like I have become so demented like I only can use 10% of my brain power and I have felt like this since my early twenties and even back then at age 20 I couldn´t vividly remember fun and exciting experiences at 16-17 years old, I could and can remember some but they are so vague and because of anhedonia there is no feeling connected to these memories which is why I think I don´t remember them as well. But back to the movie it´s just on point with every detail including these core memories that ends up in the dumb just to be forgotten forever.
And the worst was watching BingBong disappear in the dumb (Riley´s imaginary friend) while he says to Joy "take her to the moon" that had me crying the first time I saw it and gives me goosebumps just writing about it now because to me it´s like I watching my childhood imagination disappear forever and it broke my heart.
