This is a serious post regrading poss mental health issues, juet to ask if the advert with the dragon makes you feel sad for the way it's treated?

Is it because I have a strong sense of injustice?

I've seen the ad. a few times and starting to get to me and thinking of switching over.

Ive had mental health issues from the past, mainly ptsd and depression., but sm i alone in feeling upset a little for a fictional character?

Aww the dragon is adorable. It made me feel sad too. Its supposed to. I reckon my Wife would even cry a bit.

If you're finding that small things like that make you feel unreasonably emotional then there a chance that you're stressed or a bit depressed. Nothing to be ashamed of it happens to a lot of us. First port of call should be your GP.

I think the song adds to the melancholy of the ad a bit too OP.

Hope you’re ok.

It is supposed to tug at your heartstrings and make you think about how everyone has something they can contribute.

Focus on the child reaching out to Edgar and helping him see his difference can be useful to the community.

If it is triggering you then switch it off, see your GP and check your meds.

It can be hard at this time of the year.

Agreed! If you're feeling down or sensitive even things that aren't real start playing on your mind and become 'what if's'.

Do go speak to someone - it's no embarrassment and you may learn more than you think. I'm just starting to scratch the surface of my PTSD, but I now know there is light in the tunnel. Keep the faith!

It's interesting you say that. I think us idealists tend to worry more! All the best!
