The season where BoJack goes to rehab means so much to me. I went to a residential psychiatric center for a month. It wasn’t for addiction, just mental health reasons. I did all of the same things that BoJack did when he was there. Seeing him go through that made me feel better about it and less weird. It made me feel seen.
i have autism and this show has helped me so much as a comfort item.
whenever i start getting stressed or when i’m dealing with a really uncomfortable emotion or situation, i “play” the theme song in my head start to finish and it alleviates some of my anxiety. i like this because i can do it just about anywhere.
i also watch it for comfort, usually when my anxiety is high, because it makes me feel like i can handle my uncomfortable, scary, and intense emotions without running away from them.
